From the Hats Not Worn Much Department, a Royal Stetson from the early 1960s. One of my early gets when I began this "hat thing." I now gravitate to taller, blockier crowns and much wider brims. However, my wife found this one at an estate sale and was proud of her find, so I'll never get rid of it.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.
A wife that brings you hats? That's a keeper allright!

We finally are getting a little more winter cold before the great thaw. Decided to give the camel overcoat another run with my Echter Borsalino in Dattero to top it off. I still need to get to my Haberdasher to have some tailoring done (sleeves are a little long...). The nice thing is this one will fit over a suit coat with no problem.

You better watch out when the church ladies see you like this, Mike.

Have a nice Monday
Can't go wrong with a heather felt, especially if they are as nice as this one. Beautiful hat, Daniele.

Quick pic before work , interesting I recently purchased this the seller ,"I purchased this hat without a liner or a sweatband. I put in a Courtney liner but the production tag is a Dobbs verified by the Hatted Professor".
Would love to know if anyone has any insight

View attachment 106305 Borsalino Como in fawn.

I purchased this from JJ in NYC two years ago. On the way through the TSA checkpoint at LaGuardia, they demanded to inspect the hat. As the young man finished removing the liner and mashing the crown he said, “Nice hat.” I replied, “It WAS.”

Never did get the liner back in quite right...
A borsalino deserves more respect than that! Makes you wonder what they expected to find in there...

Mallory Monday! Broke out the Mallory XV to sport on campus today. Love this hat, the wind trolley button is a constant bother however. We could not get it to behave at Mike Miller's. It may have to be cut off and redone. Still loving the gills.

Fantastic hat, Mike. Love these colours. Now if only that button would behave:)

I'm hoping the 10 Star Quality keeps my head warm while I'm out running errands.

It gets the ten stars from me, Michael. What a great hat! The rest of the outfit is beautiful too.

Until 2 weeks ago, I'd been very smug and self-satisfied about how I hadn't come down with anything more than a sniffle this season.

I'm gettin' my comeuppance.

This second sick-smack in the last two weeks had me buried under covers for 3 damned days. Got to see a hell of a lot of good, old movies through the sick haze, though. Great hats... Lots and lots of great hats...

My folks are driving down here and expect me to meet with them to look at an apartment for their possible relocation. So I'm crawling out for coffee under The Adam THE POLAR.

Gawd... I hate the way cold medicine makes me feel.

EXCELSIOR!!!

Sorry to hear you've been ill, Matt. That polar should make you feel better though (it works for me).
