wonderfully creased

Great hats today, gents. Getting cold at night now, down to 37 degrees F. I picked the Gannon now officially called the Rodolfo on Michael's website. Black Cherry felt, 5-3/4" open crown, 2-5/8" bound brim and double highlights in the bow.

Great hats today everyone! @moehawk : I sure love those old pleated liners.... downright ***y IMO!

We only went out for a few minutes today but picked out hats for the short excursion... a 60's Royal Stetson for MrsFed I got as a freebie for buying two hats for Lil 'Fed's birthday; and a delicious little Champ featherweight for me. Fun times!

Thanks Fed! Love everything about this one!
Nice Champ you found there. Gotta get a featherweight.

This fixer-upper 1950's Stetson Whippet was delivered last week:

I put it through the ringer. Some of the moth kisses were more like moth gnashes (all on the underbrim). But now she's nice and smoooooth. Unfortunately, the one original piece I could not re-use was the sweatband. It was totally disintegrating and had holes punched into it in random places. Reed was popping out... a total mess. So the one modern element is a Bond-band. I'll be on the lookout for an ebay piece I can disassemble for parts...

All or nothing! (great Small Faces song)
Stefan my vote is for the Huckel Standard, but the Cervo Princeps is an hidden gem
Since I know your passion for photography I suggest you to have more quality in the selfies
The hats will improve ;)
"You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need"
Daniele, thanks. I promise to practice more...(I blame the phone:))
