What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[azhiker]

OK, finally am back on the 'lounge'. I have been traveling a great deal since moving to Frankfurt. I never leave home without at least one hat, though I have
learned when traveling to Italy, I will be bringing back more than I leave with..ALWAYS!

First, I took my 'converted' Stetson Gun Club to Paris

Then I had to go to Amsterdam for a week, where I got to test drive my Akubra CEO in the rain, and sun. It performed great in both!

The early fall saw me getting a little ole fashioned German incarceration at Burg Thurant in the Mosel River Valley, yes, that is my trusty Stetson again

Evening in Rome on the banks of the Tiber, Akubra CEO

While in Rome, I bought the first of two Borsalino's..here at Fontana di Trevi. As a side note, on the far side of the fountain is the Borso factory outlet where I bought this hat.

Off to see the Queen in my Borso..

But I needed an appointment..

Hi Aureliano

Watch that Romanian lady, that's Count Dracula's home if I remember correctly. I really like the way the Homburgs look on you and Alan both. I tried a couple on at Hatman Jack's and I looked goofy. I have a beard which may work against me there.

OK, few more, most of them in my Borso, it has become my traveling hat for the most part, though I just purchased a nicer model while in Milano last week.

Here I am in Berlin in front of the Brandenburg Gate

Straddling the Berlin Wall in Potsdam Platz, Borso of course

From the Christmas markets of Berlin to the desert of Dubai in one week. The Borsalino worked great for both!

Back to Italy again, this time in Milano

oooooooooooo.
MAN I missed homburg day.
Beautiful Lock, Merc.
Alan-- superb. I've never seen a nutria homburg. Never seen a nutria up close at all, actually.
RLK-- fantastic. How is the weight on that baby? My black Lee homburg is waaay heavier than my Lee silver label in dusty sage.

Se magnifique, Draculale! I would not mess with you today, and if that comment is coming from a Romanian woman, you know she ain't joking! I'd take it as a compliment of the highest nature (especially if she's conjuring images of Gary Oldman!).

Yes indeed, and welcome back. Thanks for posting all these cool shots. Enjoyable armchair travel for those of us fastened securely to one locale.

 

[bowlerman]

Looove that shot, jlee, especially against the grey and black of your car!

 

[delectans]

Great pics, azhiker, but methinks you should change your handle to azjetsetter. lane:

 

[Hoyt Clagwell]

Very impressive travel shots of places I'd love to go, but will probably never get the chance to.I like the new Borsalino as well!

 

[Duper]

Wow, some terrific shots there in some great hats. Post more if you have them.

 

[Shohei]

Alan beautiful homburg!

Steve that Borso is a keeper (however if you decide otherwise I might know a home for it )

jwalls, nice colour on your OR clone!

azhiker that is an amazing shot. Love the lid. What is the issue with the liner?

sharp as always Robert and another good lookin' homburg!

Looove that shot, jlee, especially against the grey and black of your car!

nice 20, Shohei!

I cheated today, and got to wear three different hats, doing a schtick at my son's preschool demonstrating different musical instruments and styles of music.

This was the one I maintained for the rest of the day (just a smallish royal Stetson). I pinched it more than usual, and thus enjoyed a little more comfort. I'm liking this lid.

 

[Aureliano]

Thanks guys for the nice words and humor about my Dracula homburg.

 

[DJH]

Thanks for the Stratoliner comments guys and for posting such super hats in the thread.

 

[Hoyt Clagwell]

Very nice bolerman!

 

[bowlerman]

that's unbelievable, azhiker. I"m still not convinced half those places are real! Seriously beautiful shots.

I'm liking that one, too, Jeff! What exactly do you mean about the sharper pinch providing more comfort? Just curious.
