Absolutely Randall. Good advice. Seems one to keep at the ready.

unless it was horribly misaligned, and yours looks fine, the rear seam of the sweatband should be centered, more or less. So if you balance your hat off one finger, you can find the corresponding centerpoint on the outside of the crown by simply matching up your finger on the outside. Now you have a reference point for starting. Since most creases start with a center dent, if you have something like a narrow rolling pin, or a wooden spoon, etc, you can use that to start your center crease.
but also, your hat looks good!

You consistently outdo yourself. What a truly remarkable hat.

Great parade! The cervo and the huckel take the cake (for me)!
Wegener "Start" possibly late 1920s. A Felt mélange with a Rauh / Rough Finish. A Curled Brim with a Blind Stich Over Welt which was typical of the time period and place. Also has a Back Bow.
Two Dream hats Steve! We need to see those more often!J. Hückel´s Söhne Standard "Loden" possibly late 1920s. Felt is a mix of colors with a rougher natural finish and easily dry creases. Wide Band / Back Bow with a blind stitch Over Welt. This hat is from my May 2016 NOS Czech find.
Receipt, J. Hückel´s Söhne Neutitschein - Wien (1909)
Daniele, I need a cervo too please
Now that is really nice! Love the proportions and colours!
...and the third Dream hat !

Thanks Joe. It's one of my favourites. Got a nice response from a lady in the queue in 7-11 today, too

Yesterdays escapades in a Penny's Air Commander. It is an air force blue felt. In person it is a stunnng felt hue.
Lunch of Niku Soba Ramen.
Afternoon chores in a sage Stetson Whippet.
This mornings dog soirée hat was a Royal De Luxe Stetson. The leather sweat bands says De Luxe while the hat liner does not. This hat has great felt.
This is the first Stetson hat of this quality that does not have a matching liner reinforcing the quality to the owner. The sweat is original and the liner has factory sewing (or at least matches other Stetson hats and has the same characteristics).
Home and cooling down from my soirre wearing a Premier Stetson. Some mornings coffee tastes excellent. This morning is one such morning.
This hat was sold from Hurleys, NB, CN. It was included in the pre-1940's Canadian hats I picked that included a bunch of hats made by the Wolthausen factory. This glorious felt matches the in hand quality and characteristics of the Brick and Borsolino hats I picked up from the stock sold at that shop. Stetson had purchased that shop to get into the Canadian market. Excellent quality felt.
Having some breakfast on the deck while wearing a Knox Westlite. Certainly an aesthetic, but I do really like the sewn liner rear ribbon treatment of Knox hats. I think they are tidy and cool looking. The sweat and liner are Knox quality - higher than other hats at this historic price point. I admit this is my opinion, but the details draw my attention.
Cheers to all on this glorious Saturday morning, Eric -

An excellent array of hats as usual, Eric. The blue of the Penney's is indeed outstandingly stunning.

So very nice, Steve. Love that ribbon color against the felt color.

Always great hats, Eric, but this days batch is somehow exceptional.
LOVE the Marathon!
Thanks Randal. It is a wonderful looking hat in its own right, but the ribbon colour really makes it stand out.

forest green (olive drab?) Royal Stetson (style type not known) probably 1960s or late 50s? Goes wonderfully with my Olive Drab Buzz Rickson's Original Spec Chino's.
Is it too early for that drink?
