What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[alanfgag]

Beautiful hat, Alan. What is the actual felt color (in English)?

B

It is from the Borsalino metallic series... plumbeo - lead (literally, leaden).

Yes. I read that in the Borso thread. If you were to use Crayola color terms, what might they be?

The crayola box is very week in grays... I guess one might call it charcoal... on a grayscale, it is about 80%. But I do love the Borsalino neutral metallics, which I think got it right most of the time.

ps - it displays less color (felt and ribbon) than the iPhone photos show.

Another heckofa hat day!

A heckofa Homburg, Alan. Gorgeous, wonderful find. I'm going to start closely following the obits to find hats like that!

Well, in the spirit of this fantastic Homburg Hullaballoo, my Dobbs. Not real old, but it fits!

 

[alanfgag]

Very nice... Love the wind cord!

 

[hatsRme]

:eusa_clap Thank you, Alan!

The wind cord seems to hold better in an ear than in a button hole or nostril.

Great hommies, Alan and Charlie!

Alan, my two cents on the color would be graphite, the way the picture shows.

Mallory XV in the rain today.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Today was a BIG Country day.
First the black one

Then the brown one.

 

[tommyK]

Joao those big Countries are fantastic. You must be an imposing sight coming up the street!

Harv, the Mallory is wonderful! Thin ribbons go with everything, casual or formal.

 

[GregNYC]

Joao, those Big Country hats are about my favorite of yours!

Harv, what era is the Mallory from?

Thanks Tommy! I love me a thin ribbon.

Greg, it is Pre-Stetson. Stetson acquired Mallory in 1946.

Joao, the Big Country hats are awesome! I am fond of the brown one.

Hola Gents,
Dashing lids today from the gang.
For me today my Vintage Austin Reed 3 piece suit with a Manhattan telescope grey Milan straw.

 

[Jauntyone]

Still warm and sunny here, in the upper 70s, so I can still wear my lightweight Vintage Silhouettes in natural:

Quick hit and run today... but I'll be back!

Thin may be in, but black's where it's at! My Werner Hilton, the only black fedora I own.

 

[GregNYC]

Hit and run by me too, have to get to work....

This arrived in the same box from Damian - this time a vintage, apparently by "Fashion Deluxe." Damian did a great job re-blocking it. The brim is made of a stiff material that creases rather than bends. A previous owner seems to have creased it in strategic places, sort of like we used to do with our fatigue caps in the Army.
