Always dig seeing a Dalton, Richard.

Back under the new-to-me Stetson Imperial "Sportsman." Suede finish, even!

Much, much better pictures then the last time. The full light really shows how nice that hat is in color and felt. Outstanding color.

Beautiful old old hat Doc. The liner and sweatband are one of a kind.

Excellent ribbon Art. Oh yeah, Art did it.
Very nice combo.

Great embroidered liner on a great hat Jim. My World’s Finest has the same logo but not embroidered and with a gold background inside the logo. The liner on mine is also not pleated. I think all that would indicate that your’s is probably older. Wish we had more info on them.

Thanks, Richard. This is the nicest of all of my Dalton liners, and probably represents a very high quality item in their price range. Not certain about your Medalist Quality. That's the only one like that I think we have. That gold embossed liner you have is pretty impressive, too.

Thanks. I agree. My first time out with it was dreary and overcast. So I sort of made sure i got some sun on it today. It has a great finish.

Sorry to hear about the tummy troubles Max. I think you sent it north to me today. Staying home, suffering...

Thanks, Red. Stetsons excellent line is a solid modern factory production hat. You won't be disappointed particularly if you catch them on sale.

A major hat from a minor maker...

Somewhat zaftig brim for the period.

What is a zaftig brim, Alan?

Have a good one,

Outstanding brim on that hat, Michael. I don't think any of the modern hatters could make one quite like that.

Lovely hat, alan. I like these great quality hats coming from unknown brands.

Sunday morning coming down under Greg's Stetsonian.

Brims up for Bob!

And a half smirk for Charlie.

Very nice. Always good to let it adjust to the new environment.

A new whiskey-colored beaver felt Gannon, with antique copper ribbon. It took Michael a little while to find a dress-weight body to accommodate my request for a 3" brim and 5" as-creased crown, but he kept me in mind and finally came up with a body that would work. The hat was worth the wait! Great fit, very comfortable, and exactly as I specified. Needless to say, I am very pleased with this hat. I am glad there are custom makers around to take on projects like this, otherwise us punkin-headed folks would go wanting for hats!

Terrible photos as usual; please overlook the man under the hat!









Hope y'all have a great day!

Great hat, Woodtroll. Love everything about it. Nice boots too.

Some great hats posted today fellas. Thanks for sharing.
Here's my Sunday contribution, a Hückel Homburg. I've been in a Homburg frame of mind this past month or so. Luckily, Stefan (this one) and Daniele have been able to keep me well supplied.

Aaah, Steve: you know you're getting my vote with a homburg like that!

And it fit well, B. I just put in a single strip of felt in the back.

This late '40s - early '50s Stetson Nutria Western conversion has seen its share of being taken apart, converted a few times, and reblocked to size. It's faded out some over the years and developed a couple of small weak spots on the brim and on the crown. I was able to fix the the brim and the small weak spot on the crown is something I can live with since I'm not going to be mishandling it. In any event, it won't see any more conversions and it has a good long life ahead and should see a good deal of wear time. It's not the most perfect hat by any means but it does look like it's been well worn and broke in by an everyday blue collar guy some years ago.

The nutria should be sturdy enough and I don't see any reason why you would want to change it: looks perfect!

Dreamy hat, Max. I can see why you'd choose the soft focus pics.

After the wide brims of late, this one shows what it's made of, Brent. Excellent and elegant.
