Good looking hat, Mike. I love it when a vintage hat turns up as good as new like that.
It's a beaut and deserved to be saved!
Justin, you're the king of the vintage vintage hats!Yesterday, 1930s Stetson 3x
Today, 1900s Stetson Special
First generation Stetson Stratoliner, c.1941. 2.5 ounces, with pin.
Very nice, Mike. I really like the shape and colour of that one.
Must have given them all away to someone close to her! Nice picture and great hat, Harv.Until July
A hatter without a hat. For shame [emoji14]
The only way it would be more perfect is if it was in my size! Superbness in felt, Matt.Borsalino Nutria in mertillo.
May each of you have a marvelous Monday.
Excellent hat and look, Michael.Mallory The Dallas this morning.

Supposedly 20-30 mph wind showing up later today so will no doubt be moving to a cap then.

Hope you are surviving your Monday,

That is a gorgeous colour indeed, Jim. I suppose you could move the whole ribbon a quarter turn and the back bow would be on the side like normal fedora.Dittos on what I said to Matt. I love seeing the ORs in different shades.
I came this close (holds thumb and forefinger very close together) to putting this hat on eBay last week. It's a great hat, but I'd convinced myself it fit funny (it's a wide oval), but it really doesn't. I'm wishy-washy on the back bow, and the ribbon width limits the pinches I put in. Well, I spent some quality time with it yesterday, steaming, brushing, and reshaping. I took out the diamond, ironed out the ghosts, gave it a good steambath and brushed out the nap. It's such a great color, and I do like it, but I'm still flirting with a ribbon change out. It's the only Resistol dress felt I own, and I would hate to give up my only hat from Paducah!!
Hope everybody's day is exceptional.
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Lovely shape to that brim again, Perry. You do that so well.

That colour combination could not be better, Bob. Super!Kevin O’Farrell.
Still looks great. These well worn hats have a charm of their own. Good one, matt.Meandered by the house a while ago and picked up a light felt that I tend to neglect:
Lee Adventure. It's factory creased and saw lots of use from its prior owner. It came to me with an aftermarket sweat. And the printing on the onionskin liner tip is just about illegible.
If the liner tip were in good shape, it would look kind of like this:
But with different color print, I reckon.
Happy rest o' the day.
O wow!Been a bit busy but finally back. Beautiful Blue Wilson fedora.

Outstanding hat and great find, Steve.R. & M. Wegener possibly late 1920s. The felt has a very soft hand and airy lightness. My only pre 1940 Wegener Soft Felt so a rare find.
Porcelain Top Hat promo item from the shop (Th. Scheunpflug, Freiberg i/sa. / Saxony) that sold this hat.
Fantastic DD. Stunning with that outfit.Wearing the Beaver brand. I needed a photo for the gunfight group I will be joining, so my wife took one for me. Thought I would share,

Terrific is the right word, Matt. What a great hat. Love the ribbon and bow.Thanks for all of the likes, comments and kind words over the last few days.
Knox Madison Avenue. Last felt for a while, I suppose. Temperatures are supposed to go summer tomorrow. Bummer...
Color doesn't photograph too well in this morning's sun. This one from a month or two back is more on point.
That a terrific Tuesday.
