What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[alanfgag]

Thanks for the thumbs up and for the O-H-I-O suggestions. We'll have a nice window of opportunity to check them out.

Very nice Alan. Is that a raw edge?

Yes it is... my Barbisio Lago di Como narrow brimmed TAR.

 

[bowlerman]

Great photos everyone!
David that dark moss is sublime.
Alan, I love that black and white photo with the Barbisio.
More commentary later but for now, heading out in my Borsalino Trionfo.

About two weeks into autumn, my VS Oxblood with a too big shirt to cover the sling in proper fall colors...



Superb hats AND photos lately, Mr. Bowlerman. That Trionfo is FABULOUS-O.

 

[alanfgag]

Great colors - and sorry I missed what the sling is for... hope you are on the mend.

 

[hatophile]

I like what you're doing with the squatter TJones, don't give up on it yet.
Super Borso Jeff.
Great to see you up and about HRM!

 

[hatsRme]

Thank you Alan and Perry!

As to what caused a need for a sling, well, you should see what happened to the other guy (in the fight...)
Actually a surgeon got me, finally repairing a worn shoulder resulting from a non-too-pampered life.

My wife doesn't completely agree. She thinks it's all about karma.

 

[Chepstow]

Very nice, Jeff and Charlie, great Look for both!

Wives do that...

Richard, thanks. I let you know If I see one in your size 60!

I'd take a 61 too

 

[ManofKent]

TJones - I like the squatter as is, but a contrasting ribbon will look good.

Lovely Borso Jeff.

Great colours in nature, in the shirt and particularly the hat, Charlie. Speedy recovery!

Warm and sunny today, but just about cool enough for a wool cap - Barbour:

 

[Chepstow]

I'd take a 61 too

Ok, 60-61! Nice Cap Richard, really nice looks very good on you!

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Champ de Luxe, re-flanged...

 

[JTopenroad]

I am wearing my newly restored 1950s Stetson Open Road


I also posted a few pics in Optimo South side mobsters.

 

[DJH]

Alan, Jeff, Charlie (good to see you out and about) Richard, AnA, JT - great hats (&caps) all around.

And thanks to everyone who commented on my VS Weston from waaay back early this morning. I'd love to get hold of an original Stetson Weston, but I don't think that's happening somehow. Here's the real one, behind the Bluegrass Whippet:

Today it got a bit cold in the morning so I decide to wear my long-hair hat by a Jeff the Hatter... Sadly it got hat later on the day so I took it off

Also gave my brown Knox another bash. I was looking at it again and I didn't like how much the crown tapered.

 

[ManofKent]

Nice Champ AnA - looks good

Nice job on the restoration - JTOpenroad

David - what separates the Weston from the Whippet? Just the tone on tone ribbon?

Nice longhair HB3.

 

[tomb1013]

The weather has turned cooler, and today my pride and joy my Mallory Ten!

 

[dh66]

Good one Tomb! Don't get too used to the cool weather yet.
Supreme looking hats from all you guys yesterday! Always love to see them
Great longhair HB3.
Always love open roads and all their cousins, especially with the western crease - that one's a beauty!
Some awesome caps too guys.
Diggin the cap and leather TJ, and the squatter's looking pretty good too.
MoK you always look good in a cap.
Great flange on the Champ AnA
Nice green ones bowlerman, DJH, and hatophile

David - what separates the Weston from the Whippet? Just the tone on tone ribbon?

Richard, the main difference is the Whippet hat a bound edge to the brim and the Weston a Mode edge - one of Stetsons felted edge variants.

Stetson's marketing people obviously thought that made it worth the extra $15. I've yet to see an actual hat to see if there is anything else different.

Tom - great looking Mallory.

Black Cherry Penman for me - starting to feel like Autumn now.

 

[Orangegrad]

Richard - dapper as always with the cap!

A 'n A - did you do the reflange work yourself? I like the brim - I just don't have any fedoras that would look quite like that without some major work.

JT - I have an OR much like yours, but with a completely different crease. I've tried to get creases like yours on some of my hats, and they just don't come out right. How did you do it?

Tom - Love the Mallory. I'm wearing mine today.

David - I have a BC on order with Art. Are they the same felts? Rabbit's looks more black than cherry - where yours looks more cherry than black. I like both. Of course, it could just be the lighting that makes the difference.


Wearing one of my favorites - a Mallory that arrived with its purchase receipt dated 1957. I'm channeling my inner Bernard (my maternal grandfather who nearly always wore bow ties).
