They are really wonderful hats. Good catch, Jim.

Excellent,Steve. That brim curve is sharp as a tack.

Love the colors!

Looks great. You wear it well!

Thanks Lance.

Happy that your shoulder/arm has mended. Always good to see your posts.

Thanks Alan. I'm guessing I'm even happier about it. Haha. There are still a few twinges once and awhile, but the mobility is all back. That was what had me worried.

Hi Michael:
Nicest looking unknown i’ve seen here. Not sure any come close.
Pairs well with that killer jacket.

Thanks Bowen. The sweat is stamped for a local menswear store and says Deluxe Quality, Finished by Hand and Mellow-Feel. I think the liner was replaced, so no info there as to maker. The jacket was made about 20 miles down the road at the Amana Woolen Mills.

Some great colour combos on that no name, Michael. Hope it stayed on.

Thanks Steve. Very looking bowler for you today. I had to retire the hat and go back to a cap once the gusts started topping 25 mph.

Nice looking Lee, Joe.

This might actually have been done by Habig, Gary. I've seen Mayser and Wegener hats with the same feature. Can't say I can quite follow the reasoning behind it, but there must have been one.

But you did get it right in the end!

Thanks, Michael. I was about about the mushrooms actually when I wrote that. But it could apply to cap as well

Yep, still like that one. Very appealing colours.

ha ha, yes, i knew it was the mushroom. Look up maitake or Grifola frondosa.

Thanks all,
Michael

Interesting. I actually added the same feature to one of my earliest hats (a Bailey paper hat) after the department store clerk recommended it. They said that if needs be (ie I sweat too much) I could remove and replace it - which is actually possible with the cloth sweatband.
The Habig has a Japanese tag, so I just assumed a similar thing had happened.

Cavanagh Stingy Brim - Light Tan 7 1/4
4 1/2 to 3 1/2 rakish crown as shaped
2 inch black grosgrain ribbon
1 3/4 brim with Cavanagh

Though I was expecting a 6 7/8 or 7... This “small” Cavanagh stingy brim with Cavanagh edge turned out to be 7 1/4. Even with its actual slightly larger size... it kinda fits fairly well. I’m thinking because it it just so soft it kinda forms to my head... more so than being on the small side. This little hat does have a bit of personality as it seemed to prefer this rakish crease going from 4 1/2 to 3 1/2 in the back. It does have a few moth bites here and there including a bit larger one toward the back of the underside of the brim. But nothing that stands out much or goes too deep. The sweatband is soft and malleable. As it is a little large... we’ll see if this one sticks around or not.

Wow, that hat looks like it has negative taper! Does the diameter actually get smaller as it nears the brim, or is that just a trick of the photo?

Thanks for the add! I don’t have much of a collection, but I’m enjoying seeing everyone’s great lids.

This is my newly acquired Stetson No. 1. I’m trying to figure out when it was made.

Oil change mid morning and back home late this evening in my Gannon Playboy (inspired by vintage Stetson Playboys) in a blue smoke beaver felt.

Cheers, Eric -

Can you post pictures of the liner, sweatband and any tags (including under the sweatband), this should help narrow it down.

You're spot on Jacora. It's not a trick of the light, but I think the light exaggerates the effect.
