    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I feel guilty telling all of you in the upper Mid-West and Northeast that we're in an unusual warm spell here in the Northern California coastal region. It reached the mid-70s this afternoon. Borsalino Alessandria at Point Reyes National Seashore today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes, the similarities are evident. It would be nice to be able to get to the tags under the sweatband and liner but it would do some damage.

    The remains of a size tag are attached to the sweatband behind the seam, a bit of greenish-black paper, but no more than that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Less is more as they say. As for age, I'm guessing three quarters of a century at minimum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    tommy--although I can't be sure of its age, late '30s-early '40s maybe, it will be worth a true restoration at some point when I feel like spending the $$$ on it.

    Thanks, Harv. It is definitely that, even though it's showing it's age. Speaking of showing age, here is me and the hat together.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Here's one I saved from oblivion. It needed some TLC as the hat body, liner and sweatband were very soiled. The brim had what looked like a chain-stitched edge that was unravelling so I removed the remaining stitches. The ribbon is a little bit frazzled so I'm going to try to do some surgery on...

    HATS WITH HISTORY

    Rick--thanks for posting this. I lived in Houston in the late 60s and off and on through the late 70s. I remember Harry "The Hat", and spent quite a few afternoons and evenings in the summer of '69 at the Astrodome. My favorite memory is a Joe Morgan walk-off home run in the top of the 10th...

    Eric--I figured if this guy is a hat guy then I need to make sure he sticks around! Rick--now there's an idea. A hat for each new hire! :cheers1:

    Rick--I had a Corral until last week when I gave it away to a new employee who showed up on the second day of work wearing an Open Road. It's a round oval and it didn't quite fit my long oval head. Although it has the same liner, the Corral is a Black Label quality hat so it looks like your...

    Daniele--beautiful homburg with nice proportions. hRm--you've got that "it's-February-and-how-much-longer-is-this-going-to-last" look! TJones--that is one of your best, sir! I would see if I could ease the fit it a little bit and keep it. Eric--both caps are superb! Chamuco--ventilation is...

    By any metric Alan, that's a lot of snow. A Strat on green for you.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Not much time to hang out here lately, but when I drop by, I am impressed, fellas! Just a quick look at the Lee Trinity I'm wearing today. This is the olive-gray Trinity I've had for a few years rather than the brown one I found a couple of weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Che--really like that Strat. I'm with dh, the brim up and irregular snap looks good. Tommy--great looking Stetsonian. I have hope that we will be seeing better products from Hatco in the future. hatguy--nice to have some trusty old gear like a well worn hat and jacket. Eric--I'm smitten by...
