Last day of super nice weather for the spring equinox. I love this Champ Featherweight, Kasmir Finish. The 4 fold pug sets off the light weight felt and gives it s spring/early summer look I really like. No satin liner, this one just has a crown "decal," for lack of a better word. Tippet? Not really a sweet satin tippet but uniquely nice nonetheless.

It's just a bit small for me at 7-3/8 (59cm) but a sweet lid, clearly.

That’s a real pretty hat. The pleated ribbon looks great.

Thank you! No it's black so a lighting issue. Super looking Gannon from you yesterday!

Thanks, Steve. I guess a dark blue derby, or bowler would have been a rarity in those days even amongst royalty. Keep them coming; your hats and posts are a true history lesson.

Heinrich Balke, Bremen "Prima Weser Hut" possibly 1920s. This is one of my most unique + special Stiff Felts.

As you can see the liner contains a mirror!

Seems one can't turn a corner around here, lately without a post about a Stetson 100 so, my Stetson 100.

And this just in from MA, from one of my favorites around here, my newest favorite t-shirt. Thank you, Charlie. These are the things that keep me coming back to this place.

I love this hat, Steve. I'm such a sucker for pleated liners, but this one is wunderbar!
