What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[steur]

This fixer-upper 1950's Stetson Whippet was delivered last week:

I put it through the ringer. Some of the moth kisses were more like moth gnashes (all on the underbrim). But now she's nice and smoooooth. Unfortunately, the one original piece I could not re-use was the sweatband. It was totally disintegrating and had holes punched into it in random places. Reed was popping out... a total mess. So the one modern element is a Bond-band. I'll be on the lookout for an ebay piece I can disassemble for parts...

Wore it around San Diego celebrating one year of marriage!

A little Hollywood today:

And for Bob:

Superb job!

Second trip to Meran in a mellow day with sun and clear sky

In the afternoon I wear this NOS Borsalino

Qualità Extra superiore. Size 6 US 7 3/8

Very soft felt finished with short hair

Color "Corteccia" with "shark gill" green ribbon

I promised to myself to be more sober in the next weeks
The online shop is still ready, in the next days the first batch of hats will be photographed

With such a great hat it's no surprise you're smiling!

Superb job!

Thank you -- refurbing is so much fun! Got a 40's St. Regis on the block right now. That one should be getting some head time soon.

Great hats today, gents. Getting cold at night now, down to 37 degrees F. I picked the Gannon now officially called the Rodolfo on Michael's website. Black Cherry felt, 5-3/4" open crown, 2-5/8" bound brim and double highlights in the bow.

Holy cow, fed, while I love looking, rarely am I moved to comment on a hat, especially if it's not an upturned stingy. But, I gotta say, I am intensely jealous of this one. What a beauty.

In Fort Worth it’s 91 degrees on the way to 95. Going to sit with some friends in a surgery waiting room today. So pulled out the Art Fawcett Chocolate Dualist.

One picture in sunshine and one in the shade.

What is going on here? The second non-upturned stingy I am commenting on in ONE DAY!! I am being corrupted!!! That's a beauty, Daniele.

Congratulations on the anniversary! Great hat. Between those before and after pics you performed a minor miracle [emoji1] Love that crease btw.

Training session taking selfies. The velours hats all lost to the Borsalino Mogano today. The coat and trimmed beard help to give me credibility...

Sunday was a Stagecoach for some... yard work

 

[Windsock8e]

A tallboy would have been better by afternoon. My AC was running all day.

Thanks Red.

I think a two hat a day plan is necessary at this point.

The Whippet looks good Red, but I think I would stay away from the brim up look.

Thanks all,
Michael

Well, in French, a Winchester was called a "ventilator", a Yellowboy could double as that! Actually, just realised that it was the Thomson a la 1930's gangster. Anyways, I envy you needing AC, temps are dropping here every day, scarf wearing weather...

Sergej, bedankt. De Esther Weis is een favoriet zo te zien (en terecht).

Autumn colors with a Gannon hat.

Best, Eric -

Wow, you look so natural in that hat, Eric! Super cool pic, too!

Well, thank you so very much! If you go to Michael Gannon's website I think he has one of these for sale. He calls it The Rodolfo after @Chamuco here on the FL.

Great recovery, Blue. And congratulations on the wedding anniversary.

Relaxing on Columbus Day, so a Borsalino, natch!
