What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Stuffsmith]

That Dobbs Milan is stunning, Robert! I've gotta ask: your photos are SO consistent, not only in composition but color. I can see you're in a window from the reflections in your eyes - what the heck camera are you using..? Keith

Steve, Charlie, Richard, TJ, Tom, Perry (- Lion Brother) and Andy, thank you all for the nice comments and Birthday wishes! My sincerest thanks!

David, I know that, sharp Worth & Worth!

Eric, stunning VS, sharp look all around!

Joao, nice photo, that area reminds me on an Western movie, the right place for the good Resistol!

Garrett, wonderful Borsalino!

Steve, the good old Habig fits and looks perfect!

Hamilcar, very very nice, that hat looks great!

Charlie, love that VS, looks very good in this color!

Richard, the Pork Pie style looks very good on you, I guess also, brim down is the better way!

Robert, sharp Dobbs with nice natural color!

TJ, nicely done, great first blocking and what comes out, wow!

BJ, sharp selection of hats!

Midsummer's eve here in Sweden. Dancing around the May-pole, Aquavit is flowing, things like that. Flieger is wearing his Pachacuti Brisa Panama.

Another sharp dressed man!

What a day, gents. I'll add to the fun.

Stetson Playboy this afternoon.

 

[Garrett]

Great look!

Galt,

How dare you get my hopes up that Douglas is posting again....shame on you

 

[John Galt]

Great job Terry! I can't wait to see your needlework. I don't think you'll need anyone to customize your hats. It looks like you probably have the skill do it yourself. Resizing is really not much more difficult than re-trimming, and like everything else, it gets easier with experience. You might want to invest in some crown blocks in your size while the market is flooded. It appears that they are presently about 1/2 to 1/4 of what they used to be.

Douglas - that may be the most pristine hat I've ever laid orbs on - gorgeous!!

Man, I like that lid Andy! That looks just like a conversion Art did for me, brim and all. Looks great!

Good morning and out the door!!!
PHD FinoFino with their #6 (or #9?) ribbon. Lighting on the second pic shows the weave of this hat well.

Thanks, Rogera. I am really impressed with the quality of the four modern Borsalinos that I own: two Comos and two Alessandrias. They are by far the most comfortable fedoras I have. Will they hold up to inclement weather like my Akubras? I doubt it. But for sheer comfort and looks, these Borsos are as good as it gets for a non-custom fedora. And there are several vendors who offer them at prices that make them quite reasonable.

Go Josh! I love your ribbon.

Josh, nicely done! You have the fine feeling for these conversion!

Josh, I'm lovin' the conversion! Excellent!

Josh, Wow! Your Resistol 4X is fantastic! Super conversion! Also great to see you back in action!

Great job and it looks very good on you. Someone wearing a western that it's not me

Thanks Gentlemen for the very kind words on the Resistol Conversion!!

Thank you, Keith
Its the North facing obscure glass window and a white tile room for diffuse light responsible, and I do correct the color a bit sometimes in editing(or shade/cloud settings). The camera is most often a Panasonic Lumix LX5.
