Maclachlan Hats

[Aureliano]

One can always buy a Whippet instead.

Can't wait to see your shots of it. Happy new year from Milan!

And here's the MacLachlan I sold last year on eBay ... the winning bid was about $90, and it wasn't even a Fedora Lounger who won it!

Scottish Cream Mac Lachlan

Quite a different felt from other Mac's I've seen. Medium weight with firm sizing in the brim it is not overly soft, with a somewhat larger diameter and slightly wiry fiber. Has warmed up a bit and now shapes quite well. Brim is about 2-5/8" and the crown about 5-3/4" when open.

Lovely, Robert, and it looks magnificent on you.

Great photo. Never even seen one of those boxes. Ready for a fight over those hats.

If your Scottish cream McLachlan is 7 1/8, and you ever decide to sell it, I'd buy it.

Maclachlan blue-grey felt with very odd ribbon. The ribbon appears to have been removed, folded in thirds, re-attached with some piece of nylon band added to make it look like there's a bow. I'll probably send this off for a wider ribbon or may pass it on to someone else to do the same. The color is really cool on this. Felt is thin and flexible.
