Another day of trying the stingy. My pork pie Robert Hall hat.

One more day of school until Christmas break. Stay safe everyone.

I'm waiting for a bit of sunshine or at least lighter skies to be able to post some hats I recently acquired from Panos @PanosChris.
In the meantime, I'll post this fluffy, green giant of a Fléchet. It's definitely not a stingy. I'm sure I'll never dare to wear it outdoors. Well, maybe on St. Patrick's Day
Like it's previous owner in Oslo, I can't stop petting this one.

Steve, shall we start a European version of beastymass? Looks good my friend! I miss petting that (my girlfriend thanks you for taking it from my hands)

I honestly don't remember acquiring this one...

That's hilarious Alan!

That's a great and unique hat. I love the green!

Thanks Dave, me too I like the green, not all the variations, but some. I see your hats covered by snow, it is too much for my taste. Hope it is getting better

Hello, Daniele. I own a couple of American-made Alexander hats, though I suspect there is no connection between the two hatters.

Thanks Jim. I have no ideas where the "Alexander" was made, but it seems far from English manufacturers. If you have some pictures of the Alexander US made please show, so I can make a confontation

Daniele; The green heathered hat is a puzzle. Great heathered felt in an unique hue. It is a good example of the felts available to hatters during those years.

Eric Thanks, you are completely right about the felts made years ago. I see your gorgeus collection of Canadian hats with admiration

Beautiful hat Daniele... love the felt and the shape

Joe thanks. I see your collection is growing up day by day

Here’s a dark blue, mint 40s Wormser burg that I probably won’t forget:

Molto bello. I like blue homburg, this is an elegant one

I love this hat! It definitely deserves more head time. You’d be the **** of the walk out and about in that hat!

Thanks, Brent. I'm not sure my part of Denmark is ready for this one. On the other hand, I'll never know if I don't attempt a try.

Let's call this one, Schrödinger's hat

Dynamite blue homburg!



Great pics of a hat at work. Campdrafts do some of their best work in the snow at my house also.



Sharp and an excellent choice to record under.

This morning I wore a 30's fedora whose label is St. Lawrence Hat Co., Brockville, CA. I lead with the pics of the tip label and embossed leather sweat to identify the company.

This one was made in Brockville Canada. Wolthausen owned the factory from 1895 until 1930. Brock was made by the very same Wolthausen Hat Corporation.

Wolthausen Hat Corp also made Brock hats of which I have showcased a couple on this thread in the past months.

On to the hat: This St. Lawrence fedora is a light gray with a definite cool hue. The crown felt is soft and easy to crease and dent.

The bound edge has a bound edge with a whip stitch that shows on the top. I turned the brim like a snap brim fedora. It did not go easy and I have been considering that the hat may have been intended to be worn with the slight rolled edge up. I will start to wear the hat "turned up."

The felt and ribbon work are of excellent work. The unreeded sweatband leather is modest, durable and comfortable. I have another fedora of this hat company that uses a thicker, treated, dyed and smooth leather.

The proportions are of the stereotypical '30's felted hats. The providence definitely places it in 20-30's manufacturing.

Cheers folks. Thanks for allowing my share my St.Lawerence fedora.
