What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[steur]

Ha ha. I like this old Gordon too. And black and red.

Man, I love that color combo. Great looking hat.

The ribbon and felt on that hat are a perfect pairing. Always one of my favorites of Moon's. And now one of my favorites of yours.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks, Michael.

New Premire Whippet, Stetsons Royal De Luxe 150th Anniversary Edition in sage. Whoa, this is some nice felt. And a vintage style straight crown. Photo bombing 'skeeter got on the back of my hat.

Wonderful, WK. Great shape and lovely colours.

The heat continues, but at least it cools off at night. Cool morning errands in a relatively light Royal Stetson with wonderful taupe felt, a brown-burgundy crown ribbon and a beige brim binding. The silk aloha shirt covers my portly midsection!

My first Open Road. No wonder people like them. Soft and firm at the same time, beautiful color, supple felt. I thought it would be too"Westerny" for my taste, but it's not.

Looks great on you, Max.

GB Borsalino with backbow. Originally sold in Acireale, Sicily. I love the large wide ribbon. I wonder about the life it once had in the old country.

Fantastic, Tonio. You come up with these great vintage hats every time. Love them.

Finally, my hat closet is here.

That is really something, Max. Only one problem with it though: not enough space for more hats.

1950s (possibly late 40s) piece by custom hat maker Tropp the Hatter. Morris Tropp and his brother Wolf were custom hat makers from Austria/Poland who had shops in Philadelphia PA. and then later Newark NJ.

A nice cool morning again today. The new Resistol Caronia gets the call.

Named after the famous Cunard cruise liner. Seems likely to be from 1958 or '59 and had the original price of $10.95.

I think a trip to the store for coffee bean resupply purposes is on the agenda this morning.

Lazy Sunday. I 'm thinking baseball and a nap...

A beauty, Jim. I like that colour combination; very versatile.

Another gorgeous one, TOnio. And with the great picture of the shop too. Excellent!

A minor miracle! I overheard my wife telling my daughter not to rearrange my hats by colors, because they look beautiful the way they are.
And afterwards she asked me in a conversational way if I wanted to buy more hats. I said I wanted to buy about six European hats, and she smiled and said I would really get hooked on those, because they are really beautiful, and we could have a horizontal closet built on top of the other ones, where the black Optimo hat boxes are.
I should buy a lottery ticket today.

I am wearing my first Homburg. It feels kinda weird not to be able to snap my brim down. I will get used to it, wont I, Red?

Lovely hat, Max. You need to wear homburgs for a while and try different things: pinches, not pinches and what not. You'll get the hang of it.

Spending the cooler part of today with the Stetson Hemp Stratoliner, Special Edition. I guess the special part is the nicer sweat and a retro pin. A little heavy for the upcoming 90 degree day, I'll be going with something more ventilated for a theater group BBQ this evening.

New hat for you, Mike? Very cool.

Outstanding colors, nice tall crown...two thumbs up.

Good Monday morning! I had one of those existential crisis moments while getting ready for work - I couldn't decide on a hat!

Then I heard a voice calling to me from a box in the corner, "Pick the Frunoberger!"

So, OK.

Far be it from me to ignore the voices in my head.

Good thing you listened: these voices can become persistent!

I can't see anything wrong with it, Bob. Looks great to me.

DesertDog, not to usurp your post today but i thought how often can you see the same named hat by two different makers?
So today you can.
You’ll notice no pinch, no side dents and a crease, well barely!!
Cause this hat is the most disobedient felt.
It just wants to keep it’s own shape and not change. Kinda like me i guess.
That’s why i love it. Plus i think it’s plenty cool as is.
Be well. Bowen
Ps: hope you don’t mind DD

The hat is right: it looks great as it is, Bowen.

I just received this back from VS. It’s a D’Aquino that came with a cheap royal blue ribbon. I let Art decide what ribbon to replace it with and I’m not disappointed.

Good plan, Michael. Get some felt going while you still can!
