What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[The Wiser Hatter]

Looks like your getting ready for the hot summer weather. How is this hat for letting air in and keeping your head cool?

DRB;
I still have about a dozen old stock velour bodies from Winchester, but you are right they no longer are available.

Thank you, Dennis!

If your referring to me (The wiser Hatter) the Tesi Comet is a medium close weave. Held up to a light not a lot of light shines through. It is not any hotter than a brisa weave panama while having a tighter weave.

I finished this one yesterday. 2-3/4" brim, 6-1/4" crown open [creased 4-3/4" front 4-1/4" back, pure beaver rust body.

Very 1930's with a tall wide crown.

I'm really cheating here, I called at home to take my dogs out and I had a package from TonyB waiting.

I only had a couple of minutes, but I couldn't leave without trying on the hat. I'll post proper pics and crease the hat this evening.

Was cloudy and cool today and I had to wear a suit so I wore my fathers 1948 Rittenhouse with it.

I know a Rittenhouse. I wonder if she is related.

Is she from Ft. Worth ? The hat was sold at Monnigs Dept. Store.

She grew up in Houston. I think the family was from Chicago at some point.

I don't think I've ever seen a bowler/derby with such a wide ribbon, it looks fantastic. Any idea how old?

 

[mayserwegener]

Hatophile, Thanks! Super OR!

Thanks! My guess is around 1910 maybe a bit earlier. I really like the low profile and it's light weight for a Bowler.

Here are some shots of the inside.

That is a sweet hat, mayserwegener.
