Pretty sweet, Tuk! How does the Falcon Parks compare to the Gannons? They both look class A.Yet another amazing, sunny day here. I donned a Hawaiian shirt and the Falcon Park silverbelly rabbit fedora with some cool ribbon work to run errands and - ugh - pay bills.

Thanks!Thanks D. The coat really wasn't wanting to show up in photos today. It was another find from the vintage store today.

Goes well with the hat. Both are sort of chocolate brown. The hat is very smooth, the coat is very rough.

I think it has some mohair in it. 3 button fly front. No idea how old, but I think 50s at the newest.
Nice attic find. Wish I had an attic like that. Great outfit today, too.
Thanks, That coat was a great find. I like the way the collar and lapels look. Does look good with the hat.

It's a well made hat, to be sure, but it is made with rabbit felt and my Gannons are made with beaver so comparisons on the felt wouldn't be fair. The rabbit is thicker, coarser and the front brim doesn't hold shape quite as well.
Thanks. I like the products I see from both hat makers, so I guess I'll have to place a couple of orders at some point and time.
You might check with @bowlerman about his opinion as I believe he has a hat or two from Falcon Park.
Looks like a Kangol ?
Nice leather cap, Sonero. I think in cap making they often sew a twill tape under the head band finish, whatever that is made out of. Twill tape has very little stretch in it, so it keeps the cap to the stated size.
Brixton. Still getting used to it, it's definitely a different shape than I am used to wearing (more partial to pork pies and stout diamond crowns), and I am not a big fan of the hat band. A nice dark purple pug would sharpen it up nicely. We shall see.
Hey all!
This Portis Silver Beaver on a grey afternoon. No matter how much I steam and shape it, it always has a beater look and feel to it. Some days an old beater is just the ticket.
Have a great day!

Not sure of time period, late 40s or 50s Dobbs Westward. This is my new favorite hat, the felt is like butter. Much nicer quality hat, in my opinion, compared to my 1950s Open Road. Came in original box. Did I mention this is my new favorite hat!!
It's the perfect autumn day here for this late 20s/early 30s Samuel Mortlock and son Lord's hat. It's a real joy to wear.
