What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Dang! That is one GOOD looking hat even on your HUGE melon head! I bet that Stetson can take it, too...

Being that I only have 2 vintage hats it will never get that chance...

My everyday (three seasons at least) Borsalino Alessandria in taupe

...this is the same Principe de Gales pattern shirt as in last week's Astuccio picture.

That's a nice Borso.

Thanks all.
Wildblue take care and be safe!

Okay Ephraim, call me a dope, a neophyte, or just a girl, whatever! Hey, its been a looong time since I've hung my hat(s) with you well hatted and incredibly hat educated gents here- But what is a 'conversion'? Elucidate me please, good Sir.

Nice conversion Chris

Carey -- To put it very simple: take a western and make it look like a fedora. That is, basically a conversion.

Sadly, this will have to be my last contribution for a while. I'm on my way out the door to Iraq for a year--not much style going on there, and our "hats" there are decidedly boring. Decided to go classic and "high-class" at church for the last day before leaving.

Godspeed out there Wildblue. Incidentally, I'm currently reading Ambrose's "Wild Blue."

Neat!

I love the non-taper. My kinda lid.

Beautiful Stetson, what model is it?

BTW do you usually wear boots with that ensemble?

B&W and a fair amount of blur does wonders to your skin complexion...

You mean I'm bad tempered and occasionally foul-mooded?

Damn...you're right - that's me! :whip:

What he said ^^^
It's basically a broad-brimmed outback hat with an inch taken off the brim, more height in the crown and the leather band replaced with a ribbon.

All the best Wildblue, perhaps you should slip a packable fedora into your kit, They have been seen around Baghdad in the past, it appears "brim-up" is the go and a rifle is the "must-have" accessory!

Nice Hats lads and Carey you are a rose among thorns!
