Love the Heather...Your blue heather mix is one of my favorites on the lounge....

This linen Borsalino cap just arrived (the price was right), and while it is a summer hat, it will be 60 today so I am wearing it.


60 degrees!!! I can hardly wait for that in Cleveland. Just to cheer myself up today I ordered three summer shirts from LL Bean and a City Sport linen 8 Panel from Hats Plus.

Good warmer, but still cold, afternoon Gents!
AnA, the reflanged Dobbs looks fabulous!
casechopper, love the cut down Squatter!
JHE, nothing like a linen cap for warm weather!

Today on this chilly afternoon from from Central Ohio I'm going Western again. This time it's my 7X Bradford. I lowered the crown to 4 1/2 inches at the front pinch and gave it more of a fedora styled C-crown crease. I also re-worked the brim and gave it a fedora type swoop in the front and made the cowboy curl on the sides less dramatic for more of a Western / Fedora look.

Thank you!

I have a couple of heather felt hats from the 1930s, including the Dobbs Cross Country blue heather mix that you mention and a couple of post war hats including this Borsalino "misto". The earlier hats have a longhair finish going on in addition to the mottled mix to the felt. The later hats are smoothly pounced felts. I agree that it would make a nice addition to the Side By Side Comparisons thread... I'll put that on the to do list.

cheers,
Alan

Handsome hat to start the day with DJH. I like the color.
Dave, I love the gray of your Borsa!
David - that's a stunning Borso. Just magnificent.

Alan and David, you both wear those Borsos well.

Thanks guys. This Borsalino just has the nicest felt and is a delight to wear. Like several of my favorite vintage hats, this one came to me via a fellow Lounge member - Alan in this case.

Andy - the City Sport is a ncie lookinbg hat

Hatto - what colour is your OR? Very nice looking example

Sam - super Squatter

JHE - nice cap AND 60 degrees? Please send some here

AnA - fantastic Dobbs!

Alan - brilliant Borsalino.

TJ - super Bradford, looks perfect on you!

Harv - that's a nice looking Weekender

Steve - you have so many great hats, but that Brüder Böhm is up with my favorites. Amazing that it will soon be 100 years old, looks brand new!

I like the city sport cap O.G. Very classic style, looks good on you.

Always a favorite of mine Hatophile

Good looking Akubra Case. You look like you're enjoying your snow more than I did mine

Nice Borsalino cap JHE888. Also a classic style

Great Dobbs A-n-A. Glad you survived the storm.

Alan that is a classy looking Borsalino. Very distinguished

Fantastic job on that one T.J. You can never be wrong with a silverbelly color thin ribbon!

Sweet Stetson 1mach1

Remarkable velour Mayserwegener. You certainly come up with some very impressive hats.
