i love it! I’ll arm wrestle you for it. (Not really. You’d win.) Great hat, though. It got my envy juices flowing.

One of the nicest Cavanaghs I have ever owned. Came to me with the original box as well. It was about a size too large for me though. I passed it on to Moon and I see he put a nice diamond crease in it! Beautiful hat. It had a doctors name on the sweat as I recall........ would have been nice to see it go to you Doc. Thanks for posting the picture.

I can only speak for myself.. but I appreciate your input. You and others have immense knowledge on the subject. Whereas I can just take a wild guess... or sometimes regurgitate a bit of what I’ve gleaned for you all. Any idea what time frame that tag represents?I feel like Hermione whenever I do this (as Snape would say: "Tell me, are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?").

Ouweee! Makes me imagine what might be if that white fuzzy coffin hat I have were blocked into shape... would need a heck of a lot of starch... and alas it doesn’t have quite that brim.. but what a great look.This bring German week 4 to a close, but it isn't over yet. Still more Germans to come (it's like playing football against them; it's never over.

Thank you steur! This is one I believe I did year before last. When I sized it up the brim went from its original 2 5/8 to 2 1/2 inches wide. I didn't like that 2 1/2 brim width so I stripped it back down and used the sweat I first put in it and a 6 ply ribbon I had on it and put both on another hat and set this one aside for over a year. After taking another look at it I had other ideas and I'm wearing the Dobbs again.Great job as usual, Terry. You made a tired hat look like new.

It looks a lot like the Dobbs Adrian has on eBay. I’d be bidding if it was my size.

Just wondering: Since I’m not versed in the subject of hat provenance this certainly qualifies as a wild guess: Could the top number on the right side of the tag refer to the date the hat was made? Could the 73146 indicate July 31, 1946? Is the hat that old?

Mid morning I went for a walk to cool down after a run. The impending rain has me wearing a coated warm weather hat. Perfect weather protection.
This vintage hat was sold by the People’s Clothing Store of Boone, Ia. “Styles of Tomorrow.”
Lunch on the deck wearing a stitched fedora. Wears very light on the head.
Post lunch walk-about in a Mallory Dallas. Thin-ribbon fedora out to visit the field of lupines.
Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -

Day 24 of 31 Hat Parade: Since it is Sunday in the 'Rona Times and no in house church services, I chose to feature what I would have worn. Casual suit, maybe even no tie, and this spiffy Barbariso Italian racing homburg! I love this "Rat Gondin" which is french for Nutria. Italian hatmakers used French for a period in describing their hat materials. Nutria is actually a prized fur for hat felt, used both in Europe and here in the States. I have styled this slim brimmed Homburg with a diamond crease, making it very casual for this type of hat. I have donned the term, "mullet-berg" for this one, business on the brim, party on the crown kind of thing. Archive photos, I have been out in the garden and look pretty scruffy for pictures... This is another hat that I might be open to part with, don't wear it enough. 7 1/4 (58cm) If you are in lust for this one, shoot me an offer!
