No need to apologize Jack.
You weren’t the one who smoked and drank himself into Cardiopulmonary Disease.
I just did it faster than most.
I have a good excuse for hats, jackets and boots now. Lol

Modern Franken Whippet gets out of the box finally for the season. This is about my favorite hat. Brim will do anything you want it to. Must be royal deluxe or premier quality felt (found it at the outlet). Goes well with most all casual wear. I need a grey one someday. Stetson should really offer their hats with different ribbons or hat bands as a regular deal. An old cabela's barn coat (they should make these again.)

Sitting in a Vancouver Sports bar today for lunch and noticed the writing on the wall. The Dude Abides, made me smile.
Cool hats, Dave. The ribbon on that Knox is an eyecatcher.
I'm catching up in this thread. Hope the hand is doing better. A black overcoat combined with that homburg is a guarantee they'll take you seriously.
A beaut, Doug. If it enables you to wear hats like those, who's complaining about the weather?
Somewhat flashy, but very cool finishing, Jim. I like it. Wish I had your patience (and skill) in cleaning.New to me Royal Stetson. I picked this up on eBay about a month ago, and have worked to address the staining on this well-worn, light colored hat. Thanks to a vinegar solution and a toothbrush, much of the staining has been mitigated. It's had a naphtha bath, but I'm still working on trying to get so5 ribbon stains out.
The pleated ribbon is a nice touch, and the felt is excellent. Soft and very malleable.
Cool brim stitching, too.

Not to your face anywayThe Baldini was the choice of hat for a trip to Copenhagen today. My students were very complimentary, and not one of them mentioned Inspector Gadget [emoji4]

Naaah, the outfit doesn't have that vibe, Steve. Very nice. Like the tie also; perfect dimple.Incredible that a light coloured hat makes it through the decades looking that pristine. Amazing, Alan.
Thanks, Stefan. Appreciate it [emoji4]Not to your face anyway

Thank heavens it's not my size or I'd be pulling my hair out (if I had any). A masterpiece, Bowen.
Two very fine examples, Randy!
A hat you needed for its name alone, Steve. And all things considered it still looks like a fine hat to me.WISKO "Rossach Kosmos 1" possibly late 1930s early 1940s. I am fairly certain WISKO was Wilhelm Ispert Köln. They were a whole seller / importer that are still in business today but not with hats. My guess (based on paper labels) is they were the distributor of many of these mystery WWII era German Wool hats but not sure who was their source (or sources). Unfortunately my sweat caused problems with the liner and sweatband logos. This oxidation issues is common with similar lower price point German (also from Czechoslovakia) made hats from this time period. I am guessing the gold dyes were copper based. Does that make sense?
Splendid, Roger. Looks like a nice thin felt.Fawcett Friday! Lightweight granite for me today.

That one really shines, Max. Dunn&Co didn't make their own hats, Do you know who the maker of this one might be?Dunn & Co

Marvelous hat, Steve. I need to find one that does fit me.The Joshua Turner had an outing today.
It's raining, hence the indoor photos.

It's a model exclusive to the American market and indeed comes in various forms. Another splendid example right there, Bowen.
Outstanding work as usual, Terry. I'd say the flange is a success!Not a very good picture of my Bradford thin ribbon conversion...it was originally an earlier 1960s red liner Western that I converted to this thin ribbon. I redid the brim the other day on a copy of a Strat flange that was made for me by 'Hatters Supply House of Colorado'...
This is closer to the hat's true color
...and, my Royal Stetson OR refurb that was done on the same flange as the Bradford. The brim on this OR is a bit more narrow than the Bradford...
Some Hank Williams
From 'The Last Picture Show'...excellent movie with a great cast
