Nice job.


Buy a spray bottle at a 100 yen store, fill it with water, and drench the leather and surrounding areas in spray, including the back side of the leather. Repeat three times, after letting it dry naturally. You will have a perfect fit. Believe me, patience, and it works to downsize a leather sweatband hat...
I finally got around to doing this. First spray done. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Those two Borsalino's seem to have less taper on the sides than many of the modern versions I see, or is it just the camera angle?

Some hats remaining for this weeks' Italian week edition. Let's see.

The year 2020 at least brought me these two borsalino's (even if I did have to wait for four months until they got here).

Cold day with pearl sky, magnificent light for photographing.
For the Homburg & Festivity series, today is the turn of a "Diplomatique" hat from the 1930s.

This is what the address of the "A. Meer" shop in Strasbourg indicates in its locations that determine the age of the hats.
E&T 7.jpg

"Etablissement Ecuyer & Thomas - Chazelles sur Lyon" The size is 6 1/2 or 60 centimeters. Unlined and soft felt with remarkable malleability.
E&T 1.jpg
No other indication because inside the sweatband, very light in line with the felt, there is no label to give information.
E&T 3.jpg

The color of the felt is incredible, ranging from burnt brown to violet, as well as the ribbons that adorn it.
The dimensions are impressive like all homburgs made in France.

Happy Sunday to you all. Thanks for the likes and compliments on your magnificent hats

great looking mode edge Jim

Today was a two hat day. Chuck E. Cheese inflatable top hat that our youngest son “won” playing games after eating pizza. :)

love them all. Truly fine hats Stefan

A Knox Twenty fedora went out for a dog soirée. Love the felt quality and "Custom Edge" in this fedora.

Absolutely outstanding, Daniele. Hats from A. Meer never disappoint. The colour combinations and proportions on this one highlight what superb hat makers the French were back then.

Thank you kindly, dear Panos. All is well here apart from it being cold and grey.
A superb Mallory Homburg you picked up from Brent.
