What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[jamespowers]

I think people respond differently to heat. for instance, it's blazing hot over here right now, but yet the other day I wore a 3-piece suit and fedora...I can take heat pretty well.

Like my great grandfather used to say: "What keeps out cold keeps put heat."
This was usually in response to those who would ask how he could wear a suit in hot weather.

I just got back from a trip that took me to Chattanooga, Nashville, Louisville and Cincinnati. I wore my borsalino from Mascotta the whole time.

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Great hat! But I am ALL about the shirt! Sliders, fries and shakes! Mmmmm!

 

[DOUGLAS]

Terrific hat Dman.

Dinerman, that is a great Borsalino! I like the colour.
What kind or vintage of Borsalino is it?

 

[Dinerman]

The borsalino's probably '50's vintage, maybe a tad earlier. The edge is whip stitched with very fine thread, so it has a bit of a different look. Click the thumbnail.

I can't find the t-shirt right now, but the one in the picture has a cool nose art-y graphic of a burger and bombs, with the text "belly bombers". I'll take a shot once it comes out of the wash. In the meantime, check this one out.

I'm not that much into Fedoras and all, but much more into these:

And a side view:

It's a wonderful cap made in Ireland that cost me quite a bit more than the others of the kind. Very comfy too!

 

[Dinerman]

Great look Dominic. The cap really seems to suit you. What color is it?

 

[BJBAmerica]

Great looking hat, Dinerman.....Love the color!!! :eusa_clap

Dinerman, your Borsa is divine! Dominic, your cap is you! Great looks and headwear, both of you!

Cool looking Cap, Dominic......I think hanging around the Lounge it won't be too long before we see you in a Fedora!!!

I LOVE it! I once dragged my wife, her friend our U-Haul towing our Honda a HUNDRED MILES out of the way to stop at White Castle somewhere in the wiles of Illisnois! There are some things worth it - a good White Castle, a good hat and a good taco.

Great look Dominic. The cap really seems to suit you. What color is it?

It's actually various shades of grey and some black.

Dominic, your cap is you! Great looks and headwear, both of you!

Thanks Deanglen!

Thruth be told, I once spent an obscene amount of time trying out different hats, including Fedoras, and basically, it only made the hats look uglier. All kidding aside, none of the Fedora hats looked good on my head. The guy looked at me and said; "What you need is...this!!!" And he slapped on my head the hat you see in the pics.

The place I got the hat? A true vintage hat store in my home town of Montreal that's been in the business since 1932. At the same location.

Welcome back, Dinerman. We were wondering where you were. Fantastic hat. Nice tee shirt, too. Have you ever tried KRYSTALS? They sell them in Chattanooga and Nashville.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Great looking shot Dominic! Your head fits that hat perfectly.

Trusty old straw.....Only summer lid in my modest hat collection so far.

Ive had Krystals, but they're just not the same.
At the white castle we stopped at, I downed 11 of them. Very tasty, and impossible to find here.
It was fun in Nashville, I went into a couple of cowboy hat stores, tried on a bunch of hats, laughed at the quality and prices. I really liked a couple, but of course, the ones with good styling seem to either be the top of the line or the absolute bottom. Had a nice chat with the hat guy at one of the stores, the said I shouldn't wear anything with anything under a 4 inch brim.

 

[Mr. Rover]

Very classy :eusa_clap

Was it hot? I mean, was it uncomfortable to wear? Did the hat hold the heat? It's a killer look for you, Alan.
