Oh dear, you know what that means? She will want her royalties. Actually we are on film but it's the early video format, what I need to do is take it to an expert to remaster into digital and then upload it on YouTube.
We are off to what promises to be a great night tonight: Gangsters, Molls & Prohibition is the party theme and there's only one outfit for that. Long Island Tea, anyone?

I saw a video of you, GHT and Mrs GHT, dancing somewhere. You two cleared the floor and left ALL the youngsters literally spellbound and breathless. A sight to behold!!

Very kind of you to say so. If you look at this blog, you will see the impact that a couple of oldies had on one audience member.

Starting the morning in a Stetson Royal Deluxe. Dimensions like an open road but has a three ply ribbon and a much more saturated color than most other open roads.

Does it have a tag & block #? I'd say it's blocked different than an OR.

Whipping around Abilene, TX today in my new-to-me vintage light gray Whippet. Thanks Bill! Traveling in a rent car today. Our car is in the shop so I'm doing errands on the dealer's gas!

First hat I've had that like's it brim up. Not generally my style but it's growing on me!

Hm, good point. Looks like there is a reorder number, and a very small tag that is difficult to read—

Yessir, it is Moonstone. I agree with your assessment on the colors versatility. It's kind of a light battleship grey, if I had to describe it in terms of actual color. I'm liking it a lot.
I really like the adventurer as well, but I'm slowly sanding the brim down closer to the Fed Iv dimensions. It's pretty close at this point.

Yesterday’s arrival: Bates “Allegro 214.” This brim has some serious flange, but I kind of like it.

SLOW DOWN!!
That brim makes it look like your going 20mph faster than you really are.

Just arrived ... This Champ from the 1960s is like brand new! I think this may become a new favorite. Paid $40 for it.

P. & C. Habig Wien - Berlin "Special Qualität" with "Auto Cape" probably mid 1930s. This another unique + special Stiff Felt. The Austrian Patent (133275) stamped on the sweatband is for a felt insert that P. & C. Habig Wien called "Auto Cape". The patent claim is to make a stiff felt hat that is resistant to denting and the felt insert being a part of the invention. The hat was made for the P. & C. Habig Berlin store at Friedrichstrasse 82 which didn't survive WWII.

"Auto Cape" drawing from the French Patent(756192A).

This is the French Patent (756192A) from 1933. The translation might be a bit more clear in this one.

The inventor Adolf Sindermann has a good number of hat related patents. His company was a major supplier of felt stumpen and capelines.
