Today....it’s a black Premiere Strat, circa 2014. Actually a nice attempt at revisiting the golden years of vintage Strats. Makes me want a vintage black one.
Be well. Bowen

That would be quite a find, but this modern is nice looking. Interesting ribbon treatment.

Yes, I have a lot of catching up to do. The remodel did come to an end, but so did my back. Blew it out moving back in (probably a box of books), then off to limp around New Orleans. I have some great images to post in that thread. The hat room is basically the same, just more organized.

Wow! I want a hat room like that, Mike. Congrats. Hats, books, and theatre. I think we have a thing or three in common [emoji4].
Hope your back gets better soon.

Thanks Red. Yeah, the ribbon always gets comments. Came like that from the seller...Matt Deckard.

If only my hat room was this organised! Very nice, Mike. Thanks for the like on the hats; it's a joy to be able to pick out any hat from the collection and know it's going to be a nice one.

Ha ha! Good one Jack!
Think it’s actually his Proto-Liner.

Way old indeed... and way wonderful.

The Stetson standard was finished to a very high standard.

Janyška "Praga" possibly late 1940s. This hat is from my May 2016 Czech rind.

Very inventive logo!

Steve, wonderful Homburg with a super cool logo. Is it black or midnight blue in colour?

Steve, Thank you! Yes really great logo. It's black so probably just the lighting.

Steve; You have showcased some wonderful hats of late. I particularly enjoy today's hat with the wonderful swoop profile shape, accouterments and the accompanying article link. Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing your passion.

Best, Eric -

Eric, Thank you! Same back to you!

Beautiful, Steve. Quite a deep flange in the back there.

Stefan, Thank you! Yes a bunch of brim flange.

Super series of hats from you today. They are all fantastic but especially great to see the unique Eres - Kent and Birsalino Gulaela.

Steve, thank you. You're keeping up with the parade of cool European hats so far. Not a repeat yet!

Vintage Stetsonian today to run errands with the wife.

Love the finish on that porker. Good to see you.

Thanks Red. It does have a pretty stellar finish. Good to see you back.

Been out of the loop for a while. I miss the hatlove, discussing it with the wife is just not the same. Have some new hats to get posted. In an exchange with the Holland Connection I came up with a wonderful heather finish homburg. This Wilson (English manufacture) is a dream. The felt is supple and clay like. The liner reads like a book. Lots to love about this one. I've got to take some detail photos and post it (catching up!) I wore it to rehearsal for the play I'm stage managing last night. I'll be getting out the black hats for a few weeks though. I'm thinking it may be early 1950s.

And what a nice hat to make your comeback with. That is a beauty.

Nice hat,Michael. Can you elaborate a little more on that porkpie’s story. Style-Rite?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't really tell you anything about Style-Rite Haven't been able to find any info. I know someone here posted a Beaver 20 by them a few years ago. I found this one at my favorite vintage store here in town. It's a nicely made hat with a sewn in pleated liner and great finish.

Sharp Dressed Man as always Michael!!! A great match with the get up outfit!!

Wear it Well!

Thanks Rodney. I passed on this one a few times over the winter. Glad I finally decided to get it. Has a great sheen in the sun.

steur said:
It would be sacrilege! The Stetson looks nice too, but the Marathon and suede jacket is a winning combo, Michael.

Thanks Stefan. I decided to keep them both safe, but I think I will pull out that combo on one of these next cool days when nothing dangerous (hat wise) is planned.

You sure don't make it easy to pick a favorite. All great. I do love the binding on the Mallory, but the Rat Gondin looks like such a sweet felt.

Thanks all,
Michael
