Thanks, Michael. The Mayser is a fine hat, but hard to beat the Dobbs though.

Thanks, Alan. It does deserve more head-time to be fair.

Thanks for the nice notes, guys... I hope my whip it pun has generated at least a couple of groans.

Agreed!
I am fortunate to have such a hat. The Dobbs Cross Country on my hat rack is truly a prized lightweight hat. I picture it not as a quintessential, but prototypical of the lightweight fedora category. Truly stereotypical of warm weather felt. A classic Dobbs model. A consummate un-lined felt. ( This is fun!)
Thanks for sharing your prized hat sir.

I’ll add an unlined Knox Vagabond to that category as well.

Your whip it pun was very droll Alan. Even a limey like me got it [emoji4]

Killer Tee, too!One of the nice things about working the gubmint schedule is getting holidays many others don't. So I'm into the third day of my weekend. Thanks to Ol' Chris, I got the car washed and made the penultimate trip around the yard with the Husqvarna, all while sleeping in (I made it to almost 7:30!).
So, off to pick up a six-pack of local brew in my only Italian hat, a Borsalino Ludeola. And a shirt honoring a great Italian-American composer.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Standard "Loden", with Back Bow possibly late 1930s early 1940s. This hat is from my May 2016 NOS Czech find.

As we all age and our memories fail, I'm sure we'll all get to enjoy that feeling more often!

Wow! Steve, fantastic, gorgeous hat. Is that a Homburg with a back bow? Or a hybrid Homburg / Fedora?J. Hückel´s Söhne Standard "Loden", with Back Bow possibly late 1930s early 1940s. This hat is from my May 2016 NOS Czech find.

Count another Hanover Square for this Tuesday. Classic grey with black ribbon. Not as cool as the color combos on Michael's and Stefan's HS examples, but still a fine hat with classic proportions.

Steve, Thank you! I am fairly certain it would have been worn brim up but the over welt brim is not rigid. It doesn't have the characteristics of what I consider a Homburg style hat. In the time period + place would probably be describe as a Fashion Hat.
Everything there is to like about vintage hats right there. Splendid hat, Steve.J. Hückel´s Söhne Standard "Loden", with Back Bow possibly late 1930s early 1940s. This hat is from my May 2016 NOS Czech find.
