It's not "today" exactly but rather Saturday evening at the Shakespeare's Globe theater, London. Just moments before the actors took the stage for a performance of Macbeth.

The hat is my new but now much-abused Astuccio. After being worn for 14 hours in airports and airplanes on Monday night then daily (and nightly) in non-stop 15-25mph winds on the English southeast coast for the remainder of the week as you can see the soft, floppy brim has rather "flopped".

On one evening while walking along the beach road in Deal, Kent a gust snatched the hat off my head, whisked it under a car that has just stopped at the corner head of me and I saw it disappear about 100 feet down a side street before I lost sight of it. I trotted down the street looking everywhere before doubling back and finding it sitting on the sidewalk about eight feet from where it was taken from my head. So somehow the swirling wind took it across the street, half a block down, across the street again then half a block back up to the original corner.

So I think by Saturday night it was holding up remarkably well. It helped that the weather was 8-14C all week (that's "cold" to "not quite as cold" in Fahrenheit term) so the hat didn't exactly get sweaty.

M. E. G. & Cie. Straw

I added a bit of snap to my recently acquired M. E. G. & Cie. straw. I think this is a pretty sporty hat!

 

[Mr E Train]

That looks great! I like the snap.

You know, I think you could give it a little more upturn in the back. Right from the middle of the bow where the brim sort of levels off, turn the back up a little so that it keeps a smoother line, if you know what I mean. That would look sharp. But I like it as it is now as well.

I'm really not much of a boater fan myself, but with that snap you put in there... :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[mayserwegener]

The Milan like straw on this one is not as rigid as a typical boater so the brim can be worked a bit. The question is was this ever done back in the day? I know the standard brim look was flat.

 

[Mario]

I can't remember having seen this before, but I really like the look. And - honestly: if it can be done (like on this one), I'm pretty sure that someone did it before. I believe that the rules on how to wear what were not as rigid as they might seem from today's point of view; they were not set in stone.

 

[mayserwegener]

Good points! :eusa_clap Now I feel better about my tweaking.

I gave the back a slight upturn and it does give it a smoother line. Thanks!
