What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[danofarlington]

That's a nice one. I do like those Borsalinos. Is it new or vintage? Brim size?

Super look Douglas, I like that ribbon size on you.:eusa_clap

 

[DOUGLAS]

Thanks gents. The ribbon is 1". I prefer this size of ribbon. The hat is Nutria. I am not certain of its age but it is made well. It has a 2-1/2" brim.

very, very nice. :eusa_clap

What he said.

 

[zetwal]

Can I add one more very? Or is that just overkill?

 

[rlk]

very, very nice. :eusa_clap

I'll kill it some more.:arated: Beautifully finished and proportioned Borsalino. Must be another color from the metals on the periodic table Ruthenio o Palladio? Too light for Uranio. Nicely balanced shades in the Ensemble too.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Thanks gentlemen. I appreciate it.

rlk, good eyes my man, Rutenio it is.

Let's petition to have the next discovered heavy metal named Borsalinio!

It's nice and hot here, so we went out for a picnic with our recent tag sale finds: an LL Bean Boat Tote (the heaviest canvas product I've ever handled), and a US made Stanley thermos. Panamas for both of us, my wife with a new scarf on hers.

Then, we checked out the covered bridge,

and took a hike around Horseshoe Lake.

I like that size ribbon also. It's one of the reasons I like the Borsalino look. A thinner ribbon looks more modern to me, and is more wearable out there if you're not going for the "vintage hat" look. Does the nutria felt seem the same as other felt? I'm not sure I would be able to tell the difference between that and the standard rabbit fur felt.

Both very nice and photogenic. Nice pictures. On your Panama--is it a fine Panama or straw; what's the make? I like the brim size on yours, actually on both. Ladies seem to look good in a lot of hats including that one, and the wide brim is very flattering.

Great photos as always Lefty!
Thanks!

Man, that is a gorgeous hat! Is the felt similar to the Weekender?

Douglas -- both the Shore Club and my Week-Ender are "Zephyr-weight." I would have to say that the Shore Club is actually a bit lighter than the Week-Ender. In terms of the felt, it is very, very similar to a vintage Borsalino Alessandria. My Week-Ender is just a tad heavier, though still lightweight.

I believe you have a Week-Ender with the diamond perforations, but mine does not have those. So, it makes me wonder whether your Week-Ender may be closer to the Shore Club in terms of the felt.

Cheers,
