Some great colours in that Dobbs, Joe. It's a nice looking piece of tweed, too.

Dobbs Harris Tweed

View attachment 318648

This Dobbs warm tone Harris tweed was one of the travel mates of my powder blue Strat. Probably would not have been something I would pick up on its own but I really like the color on this tweed. It is a tan warm tone base with bits of green, yellow, oranges, reds, browns and blue.

Thanks Steve. Makes for a nice change of pace.

Another prize from my good friend across the pond in Italy, @Daniele Tanto who sent me this most excellent Berteil that started life in Paris.

Here is one of my new hats I just purchased. It is the Ken from JJ Hat center.

I'm always pleased when a box of hats arrives from Oslo. However, I was particularly happy with this batch. I'll show them off over the next few days.

First up, my first Campdraft in Blue Grass Green. I really like the shape and flow of the curves on this one.

Thanks Panos @PanosChris for another great deal.

Awesome Steve. I think, now, everyone has one but me. Looks great.

Very nice thin ribbon look, Steve.

Le Chevron ‘Genuine Velour’

This was the other travel mate of my blue Strat. I seem to be accumulating a number of these fuzzies through no intention of my own other than most of them have arrived with other hats I have purchased. This one seems very close in color to the Loden one I got a few weeks back. The gold and blue/black woven hat band on this hat is fairly unique. Under the hood... the manufacturing tag appears this is likely a 1960s HCA creation... my guess would be Dobbs or Knox

It's a beauty Steve! I have the same one that I wear frequently.

Steve1857 · Mar 19, 2021

Thanks Dave. I have to admit, seeing your Campdrafts among others really got me looking at them. Akubra sure make a top notch hat.

Second hat of the Oslo batch. This one had a sneak preview in the Western thread, but I neglected to say what it was.

An Acubra Woomera in sage green.

I'm planning on giving it a Tom Mix type bash, but right now, I'm enjoying looking at it as is.

I work outside quite a bit. I have a 7 or 8 Akubras and I am never afraid to wear them doing physical labor or running heavy equipment, places I would be very much afraid to wear most of my vintage hats. I find that they are practically indestructible and great quality for a relatively low price.

Lovely....I would have bought it regardless of size just for the liner.

Steve, the Woomera is a great blank canvas for a western. That’s a color I’ve not seen, either. @Hurricane Jack has a couple you may have seen, both with nice creases and brim shapes. If not, look them up to see what can be done.

Thanks Greg, I will.

Thanks Jack. I was thinking the sloping down from back to front bash.

Here is some inspiration Steve. My take on the Carlsbad crease on my big Stetson Beaver 100. Mine is not as deep or raked as most of the Gus creases I see. (Sorry, not the best pictures.)
