Hats and Beanies

[4c]

I did something just for fun to match my IHSW-10 sweatshirt and thought it might interest my fellow forum goers…

Had a hat made from thick chunky long staple cotton yarn knit by hand on a small circular hat loom (no side seems). Had it rough washed and boiled with onion skins for authentic natural aged look. Than brushed the inside with a brass brush until sweatshirt-like fuzziness appeared. Now it almost perfectly matches the IHSW-10 sweatshirt and paired with the sweat is now my favorite garb for evening walks and cold days. Thinking maybe to also indigo dip if I can get a hold of the indigo…

That's a tidy bit of work there!

For me in the winter nothing, and I mean nothing beats my Stormy Kromer. There are pics of me wearing one in the 666xhs thread, so I'll steer from that. If you like history of a garment, this one has it in spades, as George "Stormy" Kromer was a badass who's wife created one of the most truly functional winter hats I have ever owned, all based on the rigors George put it through. Given that these are made upstate from me is a bonus.

That hat is sick!  Really like how it looks with the chambray out and the camo under… too bad I have so much blue and I don't like camo by itself too much.... looks good david

"This 100% Wool USA made and sourced watch cap is one of the best hats you can find, period. Made in the US by a small family operating on just a few circular knitting machines that are each about 100 years old, these caps are crafted to stand the test of time. Made to 1940-1960 US Military specifications, which we consider to be one of the best eras in menswear and outerwear"

Papa Nui combat corsairs cap produced by john lofgren

Thanks to whoever it was that answered my Homburg question with the Fedora Lounge link, I was able to find and snag this at a steal. 100% pure beaver fur body would have retailed for $250, picked up on ebay new with tags and box for $40. These are usually considered a step up from standard fedoras, but I will likely still wear it casual, maybe even with my tassel loafers
