What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[steur]

I don't know anything about Davis but that's a fine hat Rick

Excellent redo on that one Brother Justin. I wish I had the sewing skills to replace brim binding.

Super nice hat Alan

That one would brighten up just about any day Jeff


very nice Railbird Stefan it goes well with that coat.

Richard, thank you. That railbird was and still is a great find!

 

[steur]

Wow! What a perfect match with that greatcoat. Is this the Railbird from Anthony? Really happy it is now in Europe.

Mike, thank you. It is a nice match. This one was found by Richard (Morgan) and we took a chance on the size and it worked out perfect.

View attachment 106868 First tentative late night dry crease of my new 150th anniversary Stetsonian.

Lovely looking hat. The felt looks great and so does the crease.

 

[steur]

Had to; I really mangled my second attempt at my own crease, and the hat would not cooperate with my meager skills and tools. Lesson: know when to stop!

Been there, done that! Well, not asking Art Fawcett, but the mangling part

 

[steur]

Awesome from top to bottom.

Alan, thank you very much.

A VERY BORING teacher professional workday. Nothing to do but take pictures of my Silverbelly Campdraft.
Whew! I'm tired, I think I'll go home now and take a nap

PS Hey Anthony, I fixed the wind trolley

Cold is back in the late evening and early morning

Lobbia Borsalino restored in USA in the west coast by the BSHW workmanship
On the background in the right corner there is the house, now restored, where my maternal grand father, Edoardo, was born

It was sold in East countries before the WWII

No paper label, but I guess the color is "Mirtillo" or one of the endless greys Borsalino used

The felt is fantastic as the shape. It is one of my favourite of the period

Have nice Friday

Thanks for your likes!

Beautiful, Daniele. I never get tired of the seemingly endless variety of shapes and colours. This mirtillo seems lighter in tone than the later ones, which are closer to black.

 

[steur]

Wonderful hat, Daniele. Is the house still in the family?

Happy it's Friday. Happier I have this fantastic hat built by Michael Gannon.

Color's most accurate in the last pic.

Everybody have a happy Friday!


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Excellent, Jim. Nice pronounced crease in that hat.

For the fun o' Friday, a Dobbs.

It's nice to see the camelias doing their job again, too. I was a bit worried about them after the heavy snow and bitter cold at the beginning of last month.

Have a swell day.

Sweeeet!

Just took a big Australia/New Zealand/South Pacific trip. Got another couple Akubras. This is the first--apologies, I'll cross-post into other applicable threads too.

First one, Akubra Cattleman in Bran. I'm really loving this hat. Great fit, versatile, seems to have all the right dimensions. Got it at the Strand Hatter in Sydney, just before getting on a ship. Here they are steaming out the new hat and putting in a tighter pinch for me. Added a chinstrap to it too, which ended up pretty handy at certain points of the trip.

And getting a tour around the south Pacific

Have a great Friday all

Nice natural colour and great curve on the brim, Michael. Hope you get warm soon!

Happy Friday everyone! Today is the blue/gray Hückel Special. This hat is my "Flying Finn" hat sold at Olympian Paavo Nurmi's hat store in Helsinki in the 1950s. I thought the Olympic connection was appropriate this week.

Go-To 3X OR...

I like the way that brim curves. Nice organic crease in it too!

Very fine looking bowler, Steve. Is that the orginal ribbon? Very unusual bow for a bowler.

Stefan, Thanks! Yes it's original. I have a couple others with similar bows.

Two hat day. First it was back to the T&W Lees heather in grey.

After that I had to give my new Battersby hat a try.
