Yesterday afternoon, before the rains came, I was outside in a Dobbs Fifty Westward.
This mornings walkabout found me under the brim of a Stetson Scoop. This 30's hat has a "Scoop-ed" flange. The Stetson advertising copy writers would assure me that is not the intended word association.
If the rain from the last couple days fell as snow, my neighborhood would have 1.5-2ft (40-60 cm) of snow. Happy Holidays from Minnesota, USA.
Cheers, Eric. -

Today Saint Stephen, the appendage of Christmas, rests after the great lunches and dinners of the previous days
Today's hat, for the stingy series at Christmas and surroundings, is a Flechet Pilote Impermeable made in France
Fabriqué Specialément pour Chapellerie Meer - Strasbourg.
The size is 60 cm (6 1/2 in France) or 7 1/2 in the US.
The paper label tells us that the Quality is: Pilote I3 and the color of the felt is "Caniche" which in English could be translated as "Poodle".
Felt is fantastic in feel and finish, again to dispute that only in a given period in the history of hatmaking was felt of great quality.
This is a thick, soft felt with a short fur finish, also called "flamand".
The finishes are high class and the hat is from the 1960s and an excellent example of French workmanship.
Thank you for your likes on our family photo taken in the backyard in the fading light of a short December day.

The Select looks great. Those lighter, unlined bowlers can also stretch the hat wearing season, spring and fall.

More photos, particularly of the insides and tags, would be of help. Have you posted it elsewhere?

Thank you for the help I appreciate it.
Thanks. It did have a nice liner, but I destroyed it trying to clean a spot out of it.

While digging out stingies last week I ran across this Dobbs Twenty, which came to me very early in my hat collecting days.
I never could get under this hat until finally it got lost deep in the collection. But now that I know a bit more about shaping crowns and brims and have it more to my liking, I find myself reaching for it often.
A later model, this 1961 example even has a feather and the sweatband is very much on the narrow side. However, the felt is still impressive and my favorite feature is the 2-3/8 inch brim (giving my collection two with this sweet brim size).

That's a fine looking hat!

Thanks Phil! Can’t believe it’s been in a box for 6 years - it’s making up for lost time now!

It's been aging like a forgotten fine cigar taking a long, long nap in the bottom of a humidor.

Just a simple 3X OR, with a little added horsehair zip.
That wide ribbon is the icing on the cake, Nathan. Love it.
Fun bill of sale, too. Radnor is also a town in Wales. I have friends there.
Good choice of hatband. Contrasts and highlights the felt nicely.
