What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[bowlerman]

Stuck with this Hi-brehm loden fedorized western today. (Alan, this is such a great lid!)

By the way, Javier-- I never saw Van Helsing, but I've seen photos of the hat reproductions on Baron Hats' website. That thing is over the top!

 

[delectans]

David: Give your derby a bit more time, and wear an expression other than your skeptical one today. lol

You can pull it off with aplomb.


Jeff: You do not use the name bowlerman in vain! The loden looks especially beautiful in the sunlight.

 

[EggHead]

Superbowl?

You're telling me!

In many ways I wish I had discovered this lounge (and soft hats) before discovering derbies!

I agree with Alan-- you could certainly pull it off!

Plus, the weight and stiffness can be of considerable favor when the winds are howling-- my bowlers never even begin to blow off my head!

 

[Chepstow]

Alan, great Western, very photogenic.

David, very nice, you often wear it, it fits from time to time better

Jeff, the hat from the darkness, looks very good, in light.

Marc, very nice cap, looks great on you.

AL, Manfred - thanks for the derby thoughts. I will give it some time and see how the fit works out.

Jeff - amazing, mate! I hope at least one of them fits perfectly.

Today, right back in the comfort zone with a nice Stratoliner.

 

[Rodkins]

Great looking lid, David.
I went with a Stratoliner today.

 

[Chepstow]

David, Mike, you have agreed, both wear Stratoliner today. That's not fair. Great Stratoliner both, today.

I come with my cheapest brown Ebay Borsalino for 5 EUR.

Alan: Thanks, and I meant to congratulate you on your exhibition. Those images of yours are other worldly, and I am disappointed to have missed attending the event. The thin ribbon is a godchild of yours of sorts, my Barbisio "Lugano", of course!

Aha, thanks... I wasn't sure. These early Italian westerns are something very special... an elegant twist on their American inspiration. The Barbisio looks fantastic. And no worries on missing the show... it runs into April.

Great hats from the Strat Pack, David and Mike. Manfred, that Borso was one helluva good buy.

Jeff, I am very happy you wound up with the Hi-Brehm. It looks fantastic on you. I love the bowler sculpture, too.

Borsalino Film today:

 

[bowlerman]

"superbowl." heh. that's funny, Egghead!

Beautiful Strats fellas; I always envy!

Manfred, that's a brown borsalino bargain bin beauty you've got there! looks great.

jbucklin-- That Film really grabs my attention; must be a head turner! Does that model have straighter sides than the other modern borsos?

Today, my Lee Trinity w/backbow, in a very difficult to photograph and describe color (purplebrowngrey?). I"m trying to shrink the sweatband a little so I don't have to pad it so much.

Nice Strats, Dave and Mike.
Bravo for the Borsos Manfred and JB.
Likin' that Lee, Jeff. That's a sharp hat.

"jbucklin-- That Film really grabs my attention; must be a head turner! Does that model have straighter sides than the other modern borsos?"

Here's a pic to show how straight the sides are:

I really like that Film. Which color is it?

I really like that Film. Which color is it?

Grey. It looks much lighter on the Bencraft website---almost white. I love it the way it is.

Click on "Select a Color" and it will show a pic of whatever color you select.

 

[Chepstow]

Alan, Jeff, Perry, thanks for the very kind words. I really appreciate them.

JB, great looking Borso today. Light gray?

Jeff, your backbow Lee Trinity is a real beauty. I think, with the backbow It is very rare.

 

[jbucklin]

Manfred, It is a light gray. Just not as light as what is shown on the Bencraft site.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Marc, very nice cap, looks great on you.

Vielen Dank, Chepstow! Much appreciated

 

[delectans]

David, Mike: Love the Strat parade today.


Manfred: Your Borsalino is a black beauty. It looks great on you, irrespective of cost.


jbucklin: You wear that Borsalino Film very well. I like the blocking on this hat.


Jeff: The Lee Trinity is a fine hat, and your back-bow example looks fantastic. May we see a posterior shot of you wearing the lid?

VS with yet another silver/gray ribbon. I found a yard of this gorgeous, 50s French grosgrain yesterday and I think it looks nice on it.
