The Montecristi I bought from Brent last night made me feel like wearing this one to tide me over until I c
an pick up the new one from my brother-in-law's in Texas. It might take a while until I do.

Bon Vivant theme at my house.
Yesterday afternoon I completed some chores in a Playboy.
Yesterday evening walk in a Stetson Playboy. This unlined blue ribboned Playboy has the unique old style imprint on the leather sweat.
This morning's walkabout I wore an unlined Stetson Playboy.
Errands (butcher and local brewer) and brunch in a lined Playboy.

There's a huge beer shortage in Mexico right now. I don't really like beer, but many friends of mine are hurting.

Thanks, Michael.
Fantastic hat, Bill. Very nice colours and I like that bow design.
It may not be the coveted Borsalino, but it is an excellent looking hat, Mike.
I can attest to the superb quality of the Wilke velours. They knew their trade alright. Wonderful example, Steve.This week I will feature the C. G. Wilke Guben, Germany Hat Factory. Founded by Carl Gottlob Wilke in 1822 Guben, Germany. He invented the weather-proof wool hat and was a major contributor in the mechanization of hat making. C. G. Wilke manufactured both Wool and Fur (including Velour) Soft and Stiff Felt Hats. C. G. Wilke Factory was severely damaged during WWII. Guben was the largest hat making center in Germany up to WWII but was heavily damaged during the war. What remained of the Guben Hat Industry infrastructure after WWII was nationalized as VEB United Hutwerke Guben (Guben was located in the GDR).
C.G. Wilke "Bürstel Electra", Open Crown 6 inches, Brim 2 1/4 inches probably mid to later 1930s. The gray Velour finish is really nice and it still has the original paper size label. It originally had a Crease Clip/Holder. I could tell by the wear on the liner label and the remnants of a very sharp center crease.

That is spectacular, Michael. Aboslutely love it. We see far too few of these staples of the past for gentlemen.Ready to settle in to a bit of teevee coma. Under a smoking cap

Being a Mallory it seems to sit just a notch above other TAR hats, but that could just be my imagination.
Oooh, very nice, Max. Killer ribbon.
Just like Jim's example, these Mallorys bring something extra to the game. Gorgeous hat.Mallory The Dallas today. Following Jim's example a day late and several dollars short of a TAR Tuesday.

Fabulous, Perry. Seems quite soft for a Stetson. I like it.
Good thing you have a spare hat, Max.
Living the life in full! The way it should be done. Great hats, Eric.Bon Vivant theme at my house.

German week. Week two day three.
Tell or Marke Tell. This hat was a "John Doe hat" until Steve @mayserwegener discovered the logo was for a brand called Marke Tell. Woolfelt survivor hat and with a clip to boot.

Thanks Perry. Unusual times call for me to spend some time enjoying the 1st world riches that can be found on my hat tree.
In supporting local small business I have a weekly delivery from our local beer brewery. My blue-collar tastes have me enjoying the hoppy and sour taste of beer, Our liquior store provides everything else. Support local is good Max.
Thanks sir. I am enjoying your German show.
More German show! Cheers. Those hat clips are curious. They do an excellent job achieving the "look." When I see the "clipped" hats, I suspect they should have some crown height to them. Thanks for sharing.
