MichaelShane, I have said it before. You were born to wear a hat! Great Pic!

DJH, that Powell is exemplary!

Tom, that Biltmore is a winner!

Sam, that Knox is some kind sweet!

Joao, you barely have room for that hat in the car, but it's looks good on you.

Monk, that is a stellar whippet!

Eric, a Stratoliner is on my wish list, and that one is superb!

If I forgot anyone, forgive me, y'all look terrific today.

So many great hats to start the week... how to comment on them all? :confused:

...Great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, and great.

Michaelshane and Salty, great and great and great to see you back here.

Excuse the flip attempt at humor. Busy Monday but always a treat to take a break and take in this the thread. Thanks for posting your wears.

JonnyO, great pics-- looks like you had a great time. Only one hat on the trip? Looks nice, but gotta say it's better on the photographer! ;) Actually I don't even try to wear hats in public when my daughter brings one along (one of mine, of course). She shows me up every time!

David, that Deckard Powell is a mighty fine looking lid.

I'm a big fan of that Gatemouth, too, Perry! Man it looks great.

Congrats on that Superfine, Sam. Also looks like a treasure!

m0nk, Salty, both awesome.

Eric, that light sage VS is absolutely a stunner. What a striking color. I know I'm repeating myself, but wow.

I began the day in a Brill's Fifteen

and later had to do an interview for a news spot that I'm told will air next week sometime. I didn't know what to don, so I went with the VS Bobby Blue. Unfortunately, the hat won't make a television appearance!

Back to Brill's now.

This is a fine Vanzina hat sold from a hat store in Brunico, about ten miles from the border with Austria. It traveled from Dinerman to Zetwal before arriving in my collection a couple of years back. 2" brim, creased to a 5" crown.

Thanks Josh. You would like this one, I think and I would like to show it to you sometime for your opinion on age. Both Dinerman and Zetwal thought it was 1930s. It does have a wide gray sweatband, basting stitches on the ribbon bow and some other features that suggest that period, but I think it is a later hat.

Rusty, Hatto, m0nk, Manfred, Eric, scooter, thanks for the Powell comments.

It is a shame that Matt had to stop the program as these are very nice hats.

Tom - I like the fawn version of the BOR

Hatto - the Gatemouth is one sweet hat

Sam - very Knice Knox

Joao - cool Resistol - I assume a lower quality step than your usual Black Gold?

m0nk - cool Whippet

Eric - hard to beat those VS Strats; very nice!

Salty - nice Nokabout

Jeff - two nice hats. Hope we get to see the interview at some point

Alan - change of vibe for you. Looks good!

CS - very stylish and a treat to see a young lady post here!
