What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[hatophile]

A Borsalino branded with the marks of the wayward cousin Lazzaro but made by the Antica Casa after the merger of the two companies - late 1950s to early 1960s perhaps. A hat that came to me from Daniele.

It would be nice if we could see through the transclucent vinyl for a good view of the beautiful old Fu Lazzaro marking.

Great color of hat, very plumby.

Beautiful people, hats, and landscape. Looks like you had a super day all the way around. Keep those pictures coming, they are wonderful.

Yesterday, the vintage Borsalino "Castoro"

It does have a plummy cast to the gray (prugna) though this is from the Borsalino family of metallic grays, plumbeo = lead.

On Bourbon Street, New Orleans, last week with street musicians in the background keeping me dancin'.


Modern Dobbs straw, other-than-eBay find a few months back.

Plummy sounded better than pruney.

All nice, Jeff, but that Knox homburg steals the show.

Looks like fun! Stop by Meyer the Hatter while you're in town!

Delayed response cause i was answering the door.
Be sure and knock twice, pause then knock twice more.
That way i know it’s for the hat.
Mess that up and it could get ugly.
I really hope we can find you one of these Mr. Cranston.

Twice, pause and twice more: I'll try to remember that. I hope nobody beat me to it when you answered the door!

Very nice hat, Alan. And cool that they even revived the old label format for their recreation of the brand.

Gorgeous colours, Brent.

Two hat day.
Panizza Zeffiro first

Dobbs Hanover Square (brim down this time)

Plummy sounded better than pruney.

And much better than leaden.

I am so sad to follow the news from Paris... anything to lighten the darkness of that loss.

That Panizza is stellar Stefan.

I did stop by Meyers. It was nice to visit and check out all the hats. I was a bit disappointed at the limited selection of higher quality hats (Royal Deluxe's, Premier Strats, and Excellent's) but I understand their need to cater to the tourist trade to generate enough sales volume to open the doors another day.

Looks like fun! Stop by Meyer the Hatter while you're in town!

Good getup.
That red burned an image in my screen!!

Ha ha, yes, that's a bright one. I got a new green hat today, so I had to pull the jacket out again and see if it still fits.

The jacket is a poplin number for the 50s or more likely 60s. It will be happier when I drop another 5 or 10 lbs. The hat is a woolie alpine from Germany.

Strictly tourist fare I imagine, but I couldn't resist the 3" of green brim for $2.

That is a tough pair to beat. I would probably be wearing one of those about every day of the week. Top drawer.

Stefan, the Panizza stands on its on, second to non. The Dobbs Hanover works up or down: don't you just love a hat like that [emoji4]

I'd keep the thin if it were mine. The look and contrast of the colour work so fine.
