What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Daniele Tanto]

Today is spring time with all the variety of greens and white blossom View attachment 12074
Barbisio thin (weight 65 gr.) very soft felt, unlined. No name, it is market on the badge: crushable traveller. It seems more a sample than a hat in production. I bought it at Capellificio Cervo outlet. View attachment 12073

Ebony, very nice pics, must have been a great trip
Daniele, a very nice hat. You wear fedoras well

Great seeing the hats from yesterday and early this morning.

I'm getting going with a Stetson 25 for TAR Tuesday

Good morning, Gentlemen!
I'll need to reconvene for more comments later...

Now out the door with my VS light SAGE.

Charlie - light sage - that's the ticket for spring. Nice.

THAT is a CAP, Andy!! Love those full proportions.

It's a bit larger than I had expected, but in looking at some photos of the '20s, it's actually quite accurate to what was worn.

Some great hats these last few days. And guys I really need help with the art of the selfie. MoK you have got it down pat - what is the secret. Mine are hopeless.

Anyway lovely spring day here, but still a chill in the air so perfect light felt weather. VS featherweight in silvermist.

Rule One for selfies, Ted: Keep the camera as high as you are able. Helps to minimize lens distortion, and greatly reduces the number of chins (on me, at least). Famed Boston photographer Mr. Bachrach also has his subjects lean forward about ten degrees for that purpose. But these rules are secret....

Ah ha good point, yes my chins do seem to have multiplied over the years!

Before I lost a fairly significant amount of weight, I had more Chins than the Hong Kong phone book!

ebony, those are some great shots!
Daniele, that fedora looks good on you, man.
David, that Stetson 25 is super nice.
Andy, you have some of the best looking caps. I like the dimensions of that guy!
Charlie, i LOVE that light sage, buddy!
Ted, sharp VS! I'd say the selfie looks good.

Joao, let The Black Hat Wave continue full steam ahead! "Toot toot!"

Not much left now.

Joao, you wear black well

Thanks!

ROCK ON, BLACK HAT WAVE!

Joao - it looks like it's holding up to that rain just fine. Looking good.

Thanks

Still in Black Hat Wave™ I have this old Resistol 3x beaver.

Still raining... still cold...

Danielle - the crushable looks good. I imagine that weight is good for the summer. Great colour in those outside shots.

David - nice Tar Tuesday

Charlie - great colour felt

Andy - big, blue and beautiful!

Greg - Nice VS I like the silvermist. Charlie has out lined the basics, and obviously I'm getting it completely wrong, and look much better in real life If you're using a compact camera then lens distortions tend to be more of a problem than with a DSLR. In general the wider the lens is the more distortion you'll get, but with the cheap zoom units you get on most compacts there tends to be a sweet spot around the 2-3x magnification point for shots within 2 or 3 feet (have a play it varies from model to model). Hold the lens at eye-level or a bit above. If you're wanting a full-length portrait I find you need to be 5-10 yards away, with the camera at roughly mid chest-height to minimize distorted proportions. Take a few and edit copiously I had a chin once upon a time

Harv - I like that Roxford. not a brand I'm familiar with.

Joao - you snuck in with another black beauty just as I was posting. Looks great.

Everyone looks real smart today.
I want to add for the lone cap today, Andy your City Sport is superb.

Nice VS Tedquinton

VS Carlotta today:

Yes MoK I'm testing it under the Italian sun in these days of more than 20 C degrees. Barbisio responds well to unseasonably warm for the season, but I'm planning a visit to Melegari in Milan to see and eventually buy some straw hats.

Keeping with the cap theme from yesterday. One made in part by yours truly from a retired military blanket.
