What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

another Ghiaccio

The Narvalo looks very close. I have a Bismuto and an Opale and I know those are out. Any chance you could post a photo just of the Narvalo, Robert?

The Narvalo is a very brown toned medium Gray, the Ghiaccio is much closer. Lino and Sfinge are also possible on the more blonde side.

Thanks for adding that, Alan. The inside shot looks very close to my lost borsalino which, btw, was a modern one. Thanks Robert, you're right i see that your Ghiaccio is in the left bottom. Got confused. I don't think I've seen a Lino, though...

You have some very nice hats in your collection Sam and wear them well.

Super Barbisio Extra Lusso 2000

 

[CircuitRider]

My first attempt at a combo of straw and felt. Relatively easy...biggest challenge is the ribbon over the straw...will need some "adjustment."

[Short Balding Guy]

Good afternoon. The sun is out and the reflection off the new snow is brilliant. Below is a pic in which I struggled to keep my eyes open. Wearing my VS Executive in bluesmoke works to protect my balding pate.

Squinting today, Eric -

Ale, wonderful Borsalino, I guess It is a Borsalino!

Perry, fantastico, what a tall crown!

Sam, VS Max in snow fall, great photos!

Alan, Borsalino day in the US, great looking hat, makes me a bit jealous!

Robert, darn sharp your Barbisio 2000!

Circuit, great job done, very nice combi!

Eric, killer bluesmoke VS!

Charcoal, unlined, Robert?

Nice liner, no color listed, but Charcoal is about right. I believe its really a Cervo and the brim won't hold a flanging, have to work to get out the ripples. Is soft and looks OK though.

 

[Aureliano]

Looks beautiful. A little spray of water might help the flange issue. My Cervo is just like that.

Had Optimo flange it twice, smoothed out but still wants to flop.[huh]

 

[Aureliano]

Odd... Maybe it needs a bit of sizing agent?. Would you post a liner shot? I'm a sucker for Barbisio. Christina and I are going to Spain and Italy in May and driving to the Cervo factory. I was told by a reliable source that they are closing down for business. Want to see it before that.

Barbisio during snowquester in D.C. earlier this week.

One of those indescribable colors which, it turns out, is exactly the same color as the seating vinyl on Southwest Airlines.

 

[Neophyte]

So it's Southwest Airline Vinyl color, or as I'll be calling it, SWAV. Suave indeed, it's a gorgeous hat.

Most definitely! Looks like an unbound edge? Or is it my poor eyesight?

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks Alex and Perry... yes, unbound and narrow - a postwar spaghetti western passed along by our resident master Barbisian.

Bravi gentlemen! So many beauties. Please forgive my not commenting so prolificly (is that a word?) But this kindle is a bit cumbersome in that regard. Know that I'm admiring silently!

Gotta give props to Eric, especially those colors that he can find near his home like the mosses and granite.

Same again for me

Ale,here's my ghiaccio in pretty true color. Looks like a uniform light cool grey to me.

 

[bowlerman]

Beautiful flange on that swav, Alan.
