Hufvud custom Leifur 'Lucky' fedora.
The colours and the style of this one just work so well. Gorgeous hat, Brent.Phoenix:

Was it flying or was it falling with style? Either way: the stratoliner look good, Jim.
This one is more from the 120 era
Who would dare to say they don't love this black hat?An older hat, pre-1920 and perhaps early 20th century. Old 13 Star mark that I've seen in print but don't remember seeing in another hat. Fray logo sideways, lovely silver foil store imprint, off-center reed ferule and older style scalloped size sticker are all markers of age. I've owned a couple of Stetsons from this era. The felt, likely hare, is notable for its character - thin, dense and moldable in the manner we've come to love in a post-war clear beaver quality hat but here in a hat of modest price. The Stetson standard was good stuff.

There seems to be a large portion of the lounge membership that has an affinity with photography, either professional or amateur. Maybe because we have an eye for what looks good
Would be great if you could find anything about a possible connection, Tim. I could not find anything.
Thanks, Michael.
That ribbon colour rocks!

Been thinking about you all day Doug. I pray that everything went well. Looking forward to a full report of the success.
Very nice Joshua. We have seen a few of these Tumwater hats floating around the Lounge, always impressive. You wear it well.
Seems like Leica had their hands in everything. I just love this finish and the contrast of that ribbon treatment. Good to see you.
The finish on this one is superb Daniele. Love the name of that color combo!Gray days with snow and rain, but on the other hand it is winter and this holds for us

Felt has a color called "chiné orage" (mottled thunderstorm) it is very soft and dense. Good for the general gray

Molte grazie per i vostri apprezzamenti della scorsa settimana
Keep showing me your hats that you will have all my appreciation
The definition of a perfect 50s hat Eric. These NOS finds are so wonderful. Makes you feel like walking out of the hat store in 1955 with a spiffy new one.I wore a hat picked up in 2012 from the Johnny Phi treasure trove of hats (from the closed Hirsch Men's Shop). This Lee Adventure defines mint condition.
Great light gray felt that is surprisingly malleable. An excellent hat for a reasonable retail price.
Best, Eric -
I like the colors on this one Brent. The color matching brim binding with the nice contrasting ribbon. Impressive.Phoenix:

The more I see from Hufvud the more I like them. His presence on Facebook is substantial. I'll have to give him a try...
Nothing more classic than a nice Cav, Stefan. But my appetite is for the Sfinge..."an airy and very light doughnut made with a sticky, almost batter-like yeasted dough that fries up like an Italian zeppole." So YUMMY!
Wonderful crown Perry! Love that tie and shirt too. You are always so dapper!

Off to have my eyes examined this morning. Can't see crap anymore. I have to lean into my computer screen to appreciate the beautiful hats, makes my neck hurt. Wearing a trusty NW Hats custom, my granite Whippet Clone with a wool overcoat. Very cold and foggy this morning, pictures from yesterday afternoon (planning ahead)

A ray of sunshine just the time to give light to a modern Borsalino.
Thus we begin the series of Italian heather felts
Borsalino Qualità Superiore size 6 or 59 corresponding to 7 3/8 US
The hat comes from the rich source of Merano, or the remainder of the "M. Hutter" hats shop
I would like to spend a few words on modern Borsalino, this is one, considered that there is no color name, much less the type of hat. This is a magnificent hat and was made in the 2000s
Yes, I know they are rare and much of the production has been average and even mediocre, but with a wise choice it is still possible to have excellent products from Alessandria
Having said that, I thank you for your appreciation and likes.
Good day to all and congratulations for the variety and quality of your hats, seen on FL

That is beautiful! I like seeing the heathers, and the colors in that one are very nice. I also like the finish.

Vision impaired as it may be... has not affected your ability to choose fine hats!
Best,

Thanks, Mike. Very glad to see you back on form again after your tribulations this year. Let's hope the optometrist comes up with nothing more than new glasses. The Whippet clone looks fabulous by the way.
No doubt the Borsalino people still know how to make a great hat. This wild haired heather is a fine example. Let's hope they choose to do so more often.
