I really like the color combination on the one.

Wotan Homburg.

A year or so ago, Stefan kindly went back to the shop he saw it in to get it for me.

Steve @mayserwegener suspects this is a Mayser Milz product.

Thanks, David.

Wagner, Scandinavian mythology, art nouveau type design on the sweat band, art deco liner, Homburg ... Rang all the bells for me.

Mallory Coast to Coast - Dark Grey Brown
4 3/4 - 3 7/8 rakish crown
1 5/8 pewter grosgrain ribbon
2 3/8 brim with 3/8 bound edge

Thanks go out to @DaveProc for the tip on this Mallory Coast to Coast and a fairly dark grey brown felt. Having seen Jim’s @Frunobulax C2C I knew I wouldn’t go wrong with this buy. This I believe would be later 50s considering the card stock size tag and slightly shorter brim at 2 3/8. The dark taupe felt is offset ever so slightly with a pewter grosgrain ribbon and brim binding. The crown still sports what appears to be its factory tear drop and rakish crease. Mallory are among my favorites and I do have a few with similar (Whippet-ish) styling but none with the C2C designation or this coloring so this will fit in nicely.

Of any hat to love, I have to agree the 3X OR is the one!

Day three of my pre-Stingymas (Stingymas now shows up on my predictive text) sees me in my stingiest of stingies. This Christys’ Exclusive Kent Fur Felt Trilby was my first fur felt. The felt colour is mink. I really like the little strip of matching ribbon under the main mustard coloured ribbon. The brim is 4cm.

Not much to see inside, especially as I had the fabric sweatband replaced by an unmarked leather one.

Etsuko’s not joining in on the pre-Stingymas fun. Akubra Leisure Time for her.

It's Christmas party time, we are off out tonight for the first of the season's get together. It's a dinner dance, so the suit will be worn whilst dining and the Aloha shirt will be in the car for later when the ballroom floor warms up. The lid, by the way, is one of John B's Sovereigns.

Can’t wait to see how that gets perverted amongst the general population. Humbug!

Thank you, yes this one is in great shape!

 

[Bamaboots]

Lots to like on that one Greg. Especially the liner and ribbon treatment

I second Steve. That ribbon's great.

Thanks, fellas! The ribbon, 3 x 6 dimensions and the 52 block make this a favorite of mine.

Stetson Select Quality was choice today for a friend’s surprise 80th Birthday party. I didn’t let on to my little secret that this hat is likely older than the guest of honor.
