Nice looking Stetson Tommy
HistoryTeach - relatively recent I think, but looks good whatever the age.
David - fine looking cap. Will the 'tache survive December?
g.d. - Art has done a wonderful job with that Strat clone.
Thanks Jeff - my first Borso, and I can see why people love the felt.
Matt a fine looking homburg.

Relatively mild today. First wearing of a Borsalino Alessandria I picked up from RMR Hats - 'vintage' but relatively modern, probably one of the last hats out of the old factory:
Joao - looks good - that should keep the rain off :)
Alan - lovely looking 'burg. A nice brown Homburg is on my long wants list.
Eric - Looks classy to me.
g.d. - looking good. I don't think I've spotted that bow centre before.
Matt - No problem with wearing such a fine hat again.
Sam -...
Thanks for the updates on the new arrivals - the style looks good.
Is anyone brave enough to wear one in heavy rain? Living in the UK a hat that shrinks in the rain would be a deal breaker :)
Bowlers were designed as workwear for gamekeepers and were soon adopted by other workers so why not? They were commonly work by farmworkers in the UK up until the mid-20th Century. Here are a couple of my attempts at wearing a bowler casually:

A morning trip to Margate, a little along the coast. A quick visit to the Turner Gallery to see an exhibition of English Landscapes, followed by an unsuccessful wander around the slightly pricey vintage shops - lovely homburgs in 6 3/4" and lots of trachen hats in small sizes, but nothing beyond...
Great selection of hats today.
Andy - lovely Borso.
Eric - great cap in a classic English pattern
Jaxwork - I can see the suitability for earmuffs!
Duck - Looks great.
Great White - nice progress on the conversion. I agree a wide ribbon would be great.
HistoryTeach - Nice Borso, no luck...
