New topic for the week starting on Thursday. A tribute to the hatter Fleur of Penumbra Hat who has been taking care of my hats for at least two years and more.

Reported to me by Stefan she has become my point of reference for the restoration, cleaning and manufacture of new hats.

I really appreciate her simplicity and her reaching the core business even when the hats seem "lost".
Today I show you one of her creations in which nothing is left of the old / new hat.

Interesting felt of a new bought hat of uninteresting Italian manufacture in his hands became this: new shape and size and new ribbon have given this Kent (original name) new life

Have a nice day and thank for your appreciation and kind words.
The winter is coming :) so the right time to admire your marvellous hats

Haven't been posting much lately. Just haven't felt very well. My son and I both are dealing with COVID. Anyway, this is the first day I felt like getting out. Wearing a Silverbelly from Northwest Hats.

Glad your feeling better, Bill. The FL would be the same without your input. That silver belly looks great. I wish a speedy recovery to both you and your son.

Doogan Donegal Navy knit with grey/navy herringbone - a couple of these Doogan caps arrived with some other flat caps a while back. Half knit half tweed flat cap... when I first tried them on at the time I didn’t care for the look. What do you know... one cold day (for us) and I changed my mind.

Whoa! Great hat, but you have to tell me about that coat.
Click to expand...
Thanks Reggie. The coat is labeled Juster Bros, one of the premiere menswear/sporting goods stores in Mpls. Quite likely manufactured by BW Harris in St Paul. Harris was one of the pioneers in this storm coat design. They seem to have been popular from the mid-40s to the early mid 50s. They were generally made from a wool and rayon blend gabardine. Early ones had a shearling lining, but most models had an alpaca pile lining, as this one does. Mouton collars and lapels. I understand that Nixon wore a BW Harris model on his visit to the Great Wall in China in 1972, I'm very fond of the style myself and I have one by, if I recall, Lakeland, in a tan gabardine.

Thanks,
Michael
