That is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE... fantastic eyes once again, Zetwal. [...] This is Aureliano's long lost Borsalino Trionfo!

We make a fine team, my friend. Great work!

Al, I love the shots of your (latest) visit to Optimo. I can see having to make a pilgrimage there myself one day.

Mr Thompson is clearly a man at the top of his game!

Thank you, David! Appreciate your kind words very much.

Mamma mia! il mio Borsalino! lol lol lol (Alan you're a photo genious!)

Priceless! I still like the ballerina in the boat, though.

I know that's always been a favourite of mine.

Thanks from my family on Lily's picture. I don't know how she managed that but I know Photoshop had no part in it.

I'm very happy to spot Aureliano's hat. I've wanted to ever since reading that poignant thread. Hope we can get it back to him someday.

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks guys. I thought it might also work nicely for a spin in one of those Ferrari's posted yesterday.

Late forties/early fifties, I'm guessing, from the logotype history at JCP.

Still waiting to find that depression era newsboy, boys. A couple of additional pics on the cap faction.

Very nice. Big fan of your hats!

Here's today's. My rough-finish felt Lembert. Probably early 60s
(I can't resist adding a touch of vintage patina....)

 

[mayserwegener]

I really like the look that type of felt. Super!

Alan, Cool flat cap!

Looks good DR.

Stetson 3X mode edge.

Maybe it was stolen by William Wallace's ghost?

The Freeeeeedom hat! ( I miss that one a lot )

Well, the dude's missing some body parts (including his head) so he needs a hat.

 

[bowlerman]

nice one, Perry. I can't tell the color from your photo-- is it simply a grey, or undertones of sage, or what?

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks Bernie Zack.

Perry, another great Stetson. That 3x/Fifteen with mode edge was a sweet spot in the 1950's Stetson line-up.

cheers,
Alan

 

[hatophile]

Thanks B-man and Alan. The color is a teal/gray as I would describe it.

 

[DJH]

Yep, nice Mode Edge Stetson, Hatto. I have an early 50's Stetson 15 that looks very similar in style. Agree with Alan, those hats were really nice, I like everything about mine.

We were up really early today to drop off our daughter at Logan Airport for the morning BA flight to London. I took my Stetson Zephyr Weight along

There she goes!

Nice hats all (as usual). One surprise for me, I've finally seen Alan in a hat I found unflattering to him. But it's probably just my own prejudice, I am not a huge fan of Ivy/Cabbie style caps anyway (yet oddly I love the Newsboy type). That plus that hat makes Alan somewhat resemble a boss I had for a number of years in the '80's/90's . Not a great Fellow there, but Alan, I've seen you post dozens of hats, and can say no one seems to have a broader range of styles they can pull off! I like each and every other I've seen you in, so please allow me this one dislike (where I do seem to be in the minority anyway).

Hatophile, that Stetson is outstanding, I hope to find a Stetson with a Mode Edge at some point. So far, my only Cav edge is on a Bond Stingy.
