Despite the price, I simply could not walk away from this one today at a huge flea market fair in Copenhagen. Seems to be very new and hardly worn. Luckily, it fit me perfectly.

Very nice find, Steve. And in superb condition. From the brim curve I deduct it's not a modern one (thank goodness). Lock&Co hats are always expensive, but sometimes you just can't walk away.Despite the price, I simply could not walk away from this one today at a huge flea market fair in Copenhagen.

My first. 1930s (?) Stetson Standard Quality Feather Weight.
Need to steam the brim back to normalcy and remove a few light dents. Will do so after I stretch it a bit.

I really like this color Steve. They were right about a bold bow treatment, really interesting.I bought this great bowler from Stefan. It was originally made by Boy de Winter of L'Hiver in Holland and beautifully restored by Fleur de Huu of Penumbra hats because, as Stefan says, "... it was in a bit of a state."
Stefan and Fleur agreed that this lovely chocolate brown bowler deserved a bold "look at me" bow. Good choice guys.
Originally made as a riders hat, the stiffness of the felt and solid nature of the crown bear witness to this, it will now be used as a town hat [emoji4].
I'll definitely keep my eye out for a L'Hiver in the future and if ever I need work done on a hat, Penumbra will be my first choice.
Thank you Stefan for saving this bowler so it could end up on my head and in my collection.

I'm so glad it found a home with someone who can actually wear it! Looks good on you, Steve.I bought this great bowler from Stefan.

Thank you Stefan. I so enjoy wearing it. I feel it was made or at least meant for me [emoji4]
