Nice! Looks good on you.
I'd forgotten about the Brando cap, and Sterkowski are only in Poland so no duties to the UK. I think that's a winner.
Cheers ingineer!
Hi gents,
Which hat for wearing casually with a biker jacket (Lewis Leathers Super Monza)?
I'm thinking some kind of grey panel cap - my fedoras just look a bit too pop-star wannabe with the biker jacket.
Hi,
I'm looking for an Akubra Fed - or a similar open-crown fedora - in brown or maybe fawn. Just looking for an tough everyday hat, so doesn't need to be mint.
I'd need a size 7 1/4 UK / 7 3/8 US / 59cm. Ideally in the UK or Europe so I can avoid getting stung by the UK customs...
Really nice boot Jamie, I wouldn't mind a pair of these too! Where did you get them from?
They do look to me like the boots in the original post and with the three crowns embossed on them they're clearly Swedish, but I'm no expert on these things!
zebedee - I have those teethmarks on my 50's HB too.
I seem to remember a discussion on here about Aero hammering (literally) the leather when they fold it, so I assume they got a little over-enthusiastic when doing the zip area? Doesn't really bother me because only I can see it.
*edit -...
Looking forward to the pics 89quatro.
I know what you mean about the taper, I'd prefer less too. I'm still fairly new to hats, but I think it may be quite a common feature on European hats?
Guardian Enzo - Thanks. I should first mention that this is my 2nd fur-felt hat (although I've handled a few others) so my judgement is based on that. But I'm happy with the construction and materials, all of the stitching is very neat and precise. The felt is very supple and lighter in weight...
Frunobulax - I was initially going to go for the blue too, it's a really nice shade that doesn't really come across on the Etsy pictures.
I think this one makes a nice 'City' hat. It goes well with a grey or blue suit and has a classic English Trilby look to it.
Mine turned up yesterday!
First impressions:
Nicely boxed and packaged, so the hat arrived in perfect condition (with a nice hand written 'thank you' postcard). Very neat binding and ribbon work - I asked for mid-grey ribbon and light grey binding - The sweatband and liner are well done too...
I'm sure this info is on the Lounge already, but I can't find it!
Anyway. I want to get a newish fur felt hat into an open crown - I don't have access to a block - so what would be best?
Thanks
