What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Redfokker]

Lookback to 2014... a gift from Garrett, sold in Buffalo c.1863.

A very showy piece of history. I'll have to search the original post on this one. I'm interested in the details on this beauty!

That deserves another A-Damn! Love the quill hat band. Do you have a detail photo of that to share?

Thanks Bob,
Will shoot a pic here in a few minutes.

sun, rain, heat... what an unusual February we are having. I finally settled on this Mallory. Tall, but not too tall, Jones.

At one of the schools where I teach, today is Fashion Friday. So I decided to dress to the nines. The Fedora is a 1941 Borsalino, the suit is a Magnoli custom 1930's era, italian wingtip short boots, gold and ruby tie pin, and even Boker pocket knife from the mid forties.

Great looking ensemble.

Nice look. Tell us more about the Borsalino. How were you able to date it so precisely?

These photos are made early in the morning going to the office.
Today traditional, special food for the Friday of the dumplings, not specified as not to offend the sensibilities of animal lovers, then parade of floats with the popular masks.
Yesterday was the Thursday before Lent, today the feast of St. Zeno district, patron of the town

For the morning walk wearing a French hat vintage as wine, Italian, drink today

It is a Thibet made for the Meer hats shop in Stasbourg

I believe this is one of the rare hats I possess that can come from before the Second World War

It is made of mixed felt, wool and fur in a deep blue. Without lining

Its dimensions are generous and very comfortable

I thank you for your compliment and comments on homburg Tonak, worn yesterday.
For the parade I will will wear a Borsalino more small proportions
The day was very gray and my hope, like that of all the people of Verona, is that the rain remains in the sky.

Nice!

It looks great, Esther. You're quite the hat artist! Not to mention that you model it well, too!

Heading out for shenanigans under a Knox soft felt of the dress variety. I'm feeling dressy (on the inside, anyway). [emoji6] View attachment 68382 View attachment 68384 View attachment 68386

You and Red, the Hommie Kings.

EXTRAORDINARILY extraordinary, Alan.

And today's heathered Mallory... exquisite.

I love this old beater Borsalino
one of the best grab and go no fuss pieces I own.
Tissue thin... light was a feather... comfortable as an old broken in shoe .
Jim coined it the Borsa Lawn o because over the summer it joined me on lawn duty

Looks darn good for a beater.

 

[T Jones]

Excellent lids, everyone! Today, '50's Stetson St. Regis:

I really like the color on that.

 

[Magus]

Great looking ensemble.

Thank you, sir. When I ordered the suit, I chose the cloth to match the Borsa .

Going to be sunny and in the mid-70s today. Want to call work and say that I can't come in because I am happy.

Don't think that'll wash. So I'm going in. But damnit... I'm wearing my Vita-Felt homburg. And there is nothing that they can do about that. View attachment 68397 View attachment 68398 View attachment 68399 View attachment 68400 View attachment 68401 View attachment 68402

(Over the glasses in honor of Tommy who I've not seen around much lately. Though my effort admittedly is but a pale imitation.)

Happy Friday!

Matt, I've always taken the position that you should have at least as many Well days as Sick days.

Great Vita-Burg.

Off to a meeting in the Dalton Waverly

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks Matt! I remember enjoying the research into the store, which was well documented in old trade references. It moved up and down Main St. several times during the mid 1800s so the address imprinted in the crown was a help in dating.
