What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Jauntyone]

You look great Jaunty (love the suit/tie/hat colour scheme), and I'm with you on the Campdraft, I have my Tawny Fawn on today.

Thanks, billyspew! My suit is actually made of tan-and-white seer-sucker but my fuzzy photography doesn't show it well.

 

[Fletch]

How's the Campy in the heat? It is a featherweight, is it not?

I've got on Ol' Ripples, my Paul's Ultrafino Expensivo.
(No, I didn't buy it - no one should BUY a Paul's. It was a gift from a client years ago.)
The brim can't be worn snapped or it ripples. Thus the name.

Many thanks for the kind words, everyone! I get my inspirations from everyone here.

BTW is that Aristocrat as in Barbisio?

It may be, mayswerwegener. I'm not familiar with the Barbisio logo, but if it's a red and blue shield with a "B" over the colors and a crown hovering above the shield then yes, it's a Barbisio. There's nothing else anywhere to indicate the maker.

Cheers,
Tom

Yes that is a Barbisio. The Aristocrat is a brand of Barbisio hats. I have different model / style called the Rimini (named after the Italian city). The model name should be on the paper label under the sweat.

30's Borsalino

Panama by Bob, brim by Gene.

I am amazed that Borsalini were available in 1930s Portland. San Francisco perhaps, but Portland?

We were a busy town back then, Fletch.

definitely had the market for Borsalino wich would've been a regular brand carried by John Helmer Haberdashers since 1921 and still in business today.

Fletch -- it suits you well. Nice.

IC -- the brim looks great. Nice lookin' Panama!

Garrett -- OK, my friend, you are cheating. Let's see how that 30's Borso looks in action on your noggin'...

Well, both Ernie Pyle and John Gunther called you a blue-nosed backwater, albeit with a pleasant environment and way of life. Gunther in particular said something about byzantine liquor laws, which would have been particularly onerous on him.

 

[jimmy the lid]

Jimmy, you know you wear the same size hat as I do. Now if I can just get past that dog........

Yeah, right. Like that's gonna happen. He's on your trail right now...
