Brim ups in solidarity made its way across the Atlantic. You have a LOT of catching up on some fabulous hats posted here these past weeks [emoji6]. Looking forward to seeing yours again.
Well, in French, a Winchester was called a "ventilator", a Yellowboy could double as that! Actually, just realised that it was the Thomson a la 1930's gangster. Anyways, I envy you needing AC, temps are dropping here every day, scarf wearing weather...

Thanks! I have a couple more in the bedroom, but at least now they have some space to breathe! I agree though. After telling myself to control the hat seeking urge, I spotted one yesterday that is calling to me... I will have to dust them regularly as well.
Wormser.
Inspired and with some tips from @KarlCrow, I got some hooks and tennis balls and put the main use hats up. My wife was OK with it so long as I did not move the picture of my kids. There are a few more (like the Mode Edge) which I keep in a bag until use.
I think that hat selfies are a good thing as it gives a sense of proportion of the hat, but also allows the hat to take on some of the personality of the wearer; please do not be « shy », you have a phenomenal collection.

Borsalino on my way to an invite to the London Symphony Orchestra (not been to a concert in a long time).
Having trouble with Tapatalk and logging in so not sure this will post.
Got sucked into Guys and Dolls (1955) randomly on TV late at night; some great hats. Haven’t seen that since 1988.

Black ribbon: 2 inches and a wind trolley

This list of shops in the 4th/Marais may be a little out of date, but you can wander to all of them in a couple of hours or less, depending on how much time you spend in each, just make a plan so that you aren’t tacking back over your tracks, but uh, you know that!
Having said this, apart from...
My work has a travel ban so for the first time in years, I am not travelling someplace every other week, which has helped me get off smokes due to the ridiculous cost in the UK - and the health issues as well! Never tried vaping properly. So far, so good.
Borsalino "Alessandria". I just realised I was wearing it and can't remember when I put it on... It's a kind of blue - gray colour, which the camera is not quite capturing.

By the way, is Bob in "ze cooler"? I have this image of him with a fedora (brim up) tilted up as he bounces a baseball against the cell walls back into a mitt...
