What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Greetings All:
Today....instead of picking a jacket to match a hat i went the other way for Grandpa duties this day. Thought i’d run my finger around the inside crown and watch the felt follow. It did. Can’t say enough about fine finger felt!

Be well. Bowen

Many of the vibrantly colored Stetsons from this period (late 1930s-early 1940s) that I have found were sold in Los Angeles.

Another thing of beauty Alan. The felt ribbon treatment is quite the touch. So many nice touches with this one.

Today....since i follow all the rules and yield unconditionally, as a junior member to Seniority and read the memo, wouldn’t be right not to throw a little Italy in the mix.
So...WAR, Borsalino, backbow with a stingy. Interesting the 3 step backbow and 3 stitch over-welt.
Be well. Bowen

Next memo will state that this will have to be sent to me along with the Angora one

Interesting. Possibly Penny's Towncraft contracted with Byer - Rolnick to make some of their hats?

I have been debating whether to ask Ignacio to block it to a more European shape, like an Optimo Manhattan. The Lounger who sold me this hat said he had it altered to its present shape, and I saw a video of Graham Thompson handling a Melusine in a video. It looks like a Manhattan, and I really, really like that one.
Sorry. I had posted the wrong video. This is it:

Graham knows his hats and knows how to sell them too.

Hey all!
This Mayser from our Dutch connection warms my head on a grey afternoon.

Have a great day!

Powered by happy thoughts

Wegener possibly late 1920s and a recent arrival.

Two excellent brown German homburgs in a row: warms my heart! You set the example, gentlemen.

That Resistol is great, I loved getting a close up look before shipment. Seems to like the rain.


Oh wow! Love that bold green color.


Impressive hat Alan. Is this one from the same era as Justins? Classic.


Fantastic sheen on this green beauty Max. Interesting color combo.


No, but when there are a pile of hats in there when she is getting ready in the morning, I might be in some trouble.


I think the fluffy longhair season has started! I still dig that USAF Overcoat.


Way to bring out the big ***s on today's theme Bowen. That back bow really is special. Borsalino always seems to go one step better on details like this. That brim stitching is the berries also.


Gorgeous Dobbs, the details are in true Coachman style.


Simply a class act today John. There is something about the lines of a European Homburg that draws the eye.


Incredible Steve. The brim curl on this one is just the coolest. Great shape for it's age.


What a brim. Perfect umbrella for pending rain Jared.

Thanks, Mike. I had been unjustly neglecting it a bit lately. It's seen quite a bit of headtime and doesn't mind the rain at all.

That hat is a thing of beauty, the ribbon color and crease are so nice. The jacket is equally impressive, I can almost see how pliable that leather is, and the color is beautiful.

Stuck at work, so no outside head shot. Was wearing this Rand’s 8X.

Thanks for reminding me about the USAF coat, Red. This one is my Juster Bros. stormcoat, from the same era.

Whippet today.

Great combo, Michael. I really like that coat.

I have read that in the late 50’s Penney’s dumped Lee and contracted Resistol to produce the Marathon and Towncraft line.

Since the theme is Whippet today, I will play. My modern Japanese market Stetson Whippet in phantom gray (which has some taupe tones to it, weird). Designed and promoted by former Lounge member, Matt Deckard. Replaced the funky Stetson pin with a vintage Mercedes emblem.

Mr. Deckard knew what he was doing. Lovely colours on that one, Mike.
