What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[mayserwegener]

Deutsches Fabrikat possibly 1930s. No company labels so most likely sourced by the shop Emil Fischer Dortmund. I found this Stiff Felt back in March of this year.

Came with this Case, Emil Fischer Dortmund Wiss - Str 26 - 28.

Optimo today. This is an unusual Optimo felt... the only one in my collection that is thin, soft, and a little floppy. I think it might be a Mundo. Since I haven't bought one

directly from Optimo, I'm not sure.

Not trying to win any sartorial competitions; I just dig hats.

Like this Borsalino. ..

I always like seeing that Gannon

I always like seeing that Gannon Brent. How tall is that crown? I’m ordering a 5 3/4 inch and I’m a little nervous I might be in over my head.

I suspect you will be quite pleased with it Nathan. I will warn though.. that, for me at least small changes in proportion like that can at first feel greater than they appear to others. I guess a self conscious kind of thing. In time it tends to go diminish. Also.. 1/4 inch in crown weight can easily be absorbed into your crease. I think you’ll find in time the extra height will you more leeway in shaping your hat how you like.

Thanks Joe. I am no longer apprehensive and I believe you're quite right about it being easily absorbed into the crease.

Posting photos works. The process reminds me of the Steve Wright line that “almost everywhere is within walking distance - if you have the time.”

Borsalino from Daniele, thank you @Daniele Tanto!

So where was your jump-off point to Etna if not Taormina? I’m sure there are lots of options, I’m just curious. Taormina could be a trip in itself!

Good report on the Dunlap. I am in the market for my first vintage straw and will keep my eyes out for one.

Started from Linguaglossa, passing thorugh the actual village following Mareneve , which I'm unsure if it's its own placename or not, up the vulcano to the starting point Etna North. Would have liked to visit Toarmina, but just lacked the time.

Four days left in September and it's warm enough to wear a straw. My Gamboa is perfect for today's weather. Should I just enjoy the sunshine or be concerned about global warming? Given that I'm of an age when every day is a bonus, I shall just enjoy the sunshine.

Now you're talkin' & @hatsRme . It's hard to beat a nice thin ribbon. A Borso TR is on my bucket list.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Cheers this morning. I took a morning walkabout wearing a Stephen Stetson. An excellent hat that needs to get outside more often.

Home for some cold brew coffee I changed my hat to an Adam with a green felt.

I headed out to pick up some groceries and I changed to a 30's spiral fedora. The hues in the spiral felt are just sooo cool.

Cheers, Eric. -

Thanks, Terry! And to think I was on the fence about it. Thanks to Daniele for pushing me (gently) into it!!
