What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Redfokker]

Yesterday I tried on this new (well, probably 100 years old) bowler. Aquila (German make).

Love the brim on that old Bowler Stefan. Borsalino TAR, so nice! Two great ones.

The erstwhile postal employee delivered this extraordinary Tardan handwoven Panama to my house last evening. I believe that it is a late 50s or 60s hat based upon my research of the company and my consideration of the hat's construction.

Founded by a French immigrant, Tardan was one of the (if not the) premier hat companies in Mexico. It is still family owned and continues operations. I'm just delving into its very interesting history.

I also attach a story about a very bad day at the Tardan hat shop from about 100 years ago.

Happy fiesta Friday.

Wow! That weaving is so beautiful. That news story is another wow! Any follow up articles about the event? Would love to learn the whole story. Cool hat Matt.

Thank you.

PS: "Lejitimo" should be spelled "Legítimo." Very curious. I

Thanks Mike. I agree... the weave is lovely.

I'm going to do further research on the "Shootout At The Tardan Hat Store." From a bit of further looking this morning, I've reason to suspect that the refugees who reported this may have been hitting the tequila a bit too enthusiastically and were mistaken. But I'm not sure yet. Going to look into it further during my leisure.

Thanks Max. It's a joy to have found it.

I found some documents from Peru that used "lejitimo". Perhaps there is regional variation of the spelling. I wonder if Ecuadorians spell it that way. Maybe Tardan was trying to make it look exotic.

I'll research further.

Enjoy.

Can one make a fur felt out of that magnificent beard

And nice straw hat

Thank you sir! The beard would have to be cut for felt, never happening!

Thanks Matt. The shirt is a Bud Berma out of the mid to late '70s I think. Hand embroidery on the collar and pocket tops.

I eagerly await the results of your research on the Shootout at the Tardan Hat Shoppe.

I'm hoping for a short story. Too bad we lost Elmore Leonard, he could have done it justice.

Get to work, Matt!

No. I took it when I was in school but never committed to becoming fluent. Like an unused muscle, my Spanish has atrophied. Sadly, I seem to lack the discipline to learn. I continue to start periodically, but never stick with it.

That one is unique,congrats.

Thanks Bob.

Rainy morning-Tilley LTM5.

The right hat for the weather. I like my Tilley too, and it gets more wear than my photographs would make it seem.

Thanks DH. Sounds like it could be almost coat weather here tomorrow. And just when i was starting to get used to heat. I guess I won't complain though as I'm sure the heat is planning a return with a vengeance.

Thanks,
Michael
