Super hat and sweater Perry. Fantastic look. So is the hat made out of raccoon fur? Hmmm, plenty of those wander through my yard and raid the trash.

Cool-to-cold and rainy today -- y'know, the kind of weather we should have had in November or December -- and I've brought my Borsalino Savoy:



The ribbon is courtesy of Art Fawcett, who resized this one up from 6 7/8 for me. A dark hat to wear with a black sweater and dark chocolate leather jacket, but it suited me.

VS today.

Beautiful VS, with one of Art's great ribbons that I covet... Would love to see a detail shot, including that pin!

Ahhh Friday... welcome, you glorious day of days...

The meteorologicalistic prognosticatorists are predicting up to 12 inches of snow with the precipitation starting late tonight.

Folks are getting bat-guano crazy (but not me, I arrived at that station years ago). We only get snow like that once a decade or so. I'm excited... snow means doing LOTS of donuts in parking lots (with the top down, of course)!!! Yippee!

I'm going with the trusty old '40s Stetson Vita-Felt Premier homburg. I noticed this morning that all of my use of this one has led to some degradation to the brim binding [emoji20]. I foresee a road trip to Bob at Black Sheep for this one. View attachment 64461 View attachment 64462 View attachment 64463 View attachment 64464 View attachment 64465 View attachment 64466

May each of you have the bestestest Friday that has ever been.

Great hat for sure. What color binding will you go with? Have you got the toboggan waxed? Sounds like fun times with once in a decade snow.

Love this Borsalino. The ribbon treatment really makes it something special. Want!

A good night in the studio, hatted in my D bar J.

I think many of us will want the kids hats! They are really cool!! Great A-2 Jacket, it looks great with the CD.

Love that Homburg Matt!! I would rather have the foot of snow than the 1/2" of freezing rain we are getting. We are going to hunker down and watch the Portland OR Bumper Car Championships on TV.

A Filson Packer wool jacket and a vtg. Stetson Scoop accompany me this brisk -6F morning. Wind chills have us -16F.

That Stetson is super Eric! I continue to learn about our hat hobby from postings like this. I am not familiar with the "Scoop" model. Is it early 50s?

Getting a very Cactus Jack/Mick Foley vibe here, Matt. Have you ever wrassled professionally?

I tried and failed miserably (thanks for bringing up a very sore subject!).

Sadly, I was very amateurish. I'm not very graceful.

 

[Rogera]

BEST look EVER on a Penmn, IMO! Is that the original bash, or did you take matters into your own hands, Roger?

Thanks Charlie! I recreased it because the front pinch crown height originally in the hat was too tall. I like this one better.

 

[Rogera]

At least that great hat will warm your heart! The NW is going to see this cold as well. It is 13 degrees here at 6:30 am

Agreed, a great hat will definitely warm more than just your head!

That's the stuff. Big question: can you take a folding chair to the head?

Red; I have not found a copy of a early Stetson advertisement that accurately places it yet. The tags, box and markings place it 1930-40's. I have not seen another one on the fedora lounge.

The smaller brim, deep flange and unique edge treatment make it very unique on my hat rack.

Hey, I gotta get some use out of that hound!

Fantastic hats all around!

I think I like the Camp Draft a bit more than the R2D2 hats. But it's a very small bit.

Have fun in that snow.
