What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Wesslyn]

If you're anything like me, that won't happen before you hit 50 unless your hair and beard turn gray prematurely.

I know a guy who's had grey hair since he was around 15. I'd take grey over going bald any day. My hairline is disagreeing however.

Montecristi 100X

Not a good match for what I’m wearing but I’ve been itching to wear this hat since I received it a couple days ago.

Very impressive Brent.

As others are writing, the summer heat has arrived. Temps in the mid 90s today. Perfect weather for an unlined hat, no?

This hat, assumed to be pre-WWII, is a very light, thin, but dense felt. Easily shaped, it is one of my lightest summer hats. I forget exactly, but something like 2.5 oz.
Friday has arrived. Celebrate accordingly!

Yes, 90s are at least unlined weather. Love this one, the tip logo is in perfect shape.

View attachment 124760 View attachment 124761 View attachment 124762 View attachment 124763 Greetings All:
It’s time for some Borsalinos!!
It occured to me i tend to post Stetsons of whatever flavor. I love Stetsons without question.
But i “really” love my Borsas!! and they have their own little area of the place where i can see them always!
So today it’s my “mocha java” that likes a center sorta dent. I believe this one is the first i went “all in” and had to beg for.
Then it all started! Ha
2 5/8” raw edge brim, 1” ribbon, light as a feather, a joy to play with.
Be well. Bowen

I like that, even with the crease, it's a little tapered.

I just had my eyes dilated. I am very, very blind right now.
Thought my old Marathon Panama would keep the sun out.

Thanks, had about 50 ribbons to choose from, took a bit to narrow it down.

Thanks Red, got it from Nathaniels Master Hattery in Georgetown, Tx. Hope you didn't lose any of your great fedoras on that cruise ship.

I was playing really well, shot 38 the front nine, but ruined the round with a 44 on the back. Damn!
I just can't get my compadres into fine hats, even if for them, price would be no object.

Didn't give the wind any chance to take them. Firmly gripped in my hands and not on my head when in danger.

And you're driving?

Nope, I was in the passenger seat. Mirrored image.
I'd definitely have run down some people if I drove.

Yes, I forgot about the mirror image. Sorry, hahaha

I don’t mind the gray, but my vanity rebels at the continual thinning. I think I’m destined to be an “Average Balding Guy.” I hope I pull it off as well as our Short Balding Guy does.

Same here. I wish my hair would turn gray already so my pale scalp wouldn't show through quite as much.

Another great parade. Love the brim edge on the Palladio. That panama is sweet as well. Interesting brand. Looking good.

Thanks, Mike. You can check out how the panama came to be in the conversion corral thread; worth a look.

That's a nice one Richard. I always thought of these semi-calado hats as a bit too ornate for my taste, but that one looks very good.

Thanks Stefan. I figured these cool mornings were an opportunity to cycle through a few ORs again. Sadly, the cool mornings appear to be at an end.

No damage done.

I think this is a later model, maybe early '60s.

You've pulled out a fabulous lineup of Borsalinos again I see. Very nice hats and outfits.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks, Michael. The weather was cooperating...
