What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[GregNYC]

Mach, that is a great Dunhill! The ribbon looks like a rep-stripe necktie!

Dale, that as-found-crease Stetson with boot-tips is the perfect combo and a great photo!

 

[1mach1]

Thanks guys!
Justin, very nice Borso!
G.d, that one is sweet. Love the color.
Charlie, I really like that one. Great felt color, and you look great in a 2 1/4" brim!!

 

[GregNYC]

Charlie, I like variety and go from 4+ to under 1.25. But I admit, I tend to prefer brims a bit smaller than my derm is happy with! So I carry zinc-oxide sunblock with me every day. It goes on mostly transparent, or so I hope!

I agree with Mach, you look great in that deuce and a quarter.

A Week's Worth of SUPER Hats!!!

It's been at least a week since I've perused the great hats here. A couple days loses about a hundred hats. A week loses the whole store! Therefore, I will start my comments beginning 9/25. Dave (DJH) usually starts the day off, but since Daniele Tanto lives in Italy, his time stamp starts first...


Daniele 9/25
Quite a nice Panizza, Daniele. You look like you're about to uncover a lost tomb in an ancient land!!

DJH
9/25: Another great shot of your amazing Bluegrass Whippet. I know I've said it multiple times; your hat originally inspired me to bind the edge of my borsalino of a similar color. Nice!
9/26: There's no BS with THAT VS! Stunning hat; superb work from the legendary Art Fawcett. :yo:

GregNYC
9/25: You are becoming a master of style with that Akubra, Greg. Nice shot.
9/26: A stingy Borso in NYC couldn't be more natural. Another great hat to start the day, Greg. Cheers!

Eric 9/25
Portis made some very lovely hats. I still have yet to own one. Your hat is a fine example of their impeccable work. That's a nice and chunky brim edge, too; you could almost chew it. :hungry:

bowlerman :wave:
9/25: The Limpia Creek western is cool. Is that a modern hat?
9/26: Sharp Resistol, Jeff!!! I like the color combo. Hard to tell, but looks like a light brown / taupe ?

Lt.hats 9/25
Lots of shade with that Stetson, Lt. Your ears were nicely covered. And your top lip has quite a fur coat!! :thumb: Very cool background set; great for photos. We should grab a cup of coffee one morning, since we're both neighbors!

Alan 9/25
Bravo, Borsalino!! Great hat, Alan. That's obviously lightweight, considering how thin the felt is. Wow, you could flatten that out and wrap a birthday gift, it's so thin. I don't normally see you in such a narrow brim like that, either. Very stingy for you, but a classy lid, no doubt! hoto:

ingineer 9/25
You are giving Joao a run for his money with that taaaaall crown and wiiiiide brimmed Dynafelt! Nice!

hatophile 9/25
Perry, I recognized that Adam before I scrolled down to see the rest of your pic!!! One of my 'Lounge favorites!!!

Joao
9/25: I stand humbled. That Stagecoach is muuuuuuch wider than ingineer's Dynafelt.
9/26: Huh. I think I've found my favorite hat of your collection. Awesome 3XB, Joao. :high5:

Phineas Lamour 9/25
WHOA!! I believe you have overtaken ingineer AND Joao by at least two lengths!! Happy Birthday!! Looks like you enjoyed yourself. YOU DON'T NEED NO STINKING BADGERS!!! arty:

Slacker Drummer 9/26
There is no discounting that touching photo, SD. Cool hat, and a nice beanie, too. :sleep:

mikespens 9/26
Stellar cap, Mike. The cloth pattern showcases a really nice throwback.

tommyK 9/26
Wow, Tommy. A Dobbs 20 and a Stetson 15 in one day??? All you needed was another 15 for a cool 50! Both are killer hats. I own a black Dobbs 20, so I know how much you must love yours. Tall crown, generous brim, and smoooooth felt. Where'd you get the Stetson? It looks brand spankin' new!! Great choice of lids that day. Bravo.

1mach1 9/26
Harv, thank you for representing a straw at the tail end of summer. I'm bummed that I will have 4 fewer hats in the coming cooler months. Guess I'll have to make it up with 4 new felts!

splintercellsz 9/26
Way to represent a fine looking Borso, Justin!!

g.durand 9/26
A sharp hat to close out the day. Whippets, Whippets, Whippets!!! By the way, how do you only have 975 posts?

hatsRme 9/27
You have an army of hats, Charlie, and that NOS VS is the General. Superb selection. The suit/hat/tie combination looks perfect. Very nicely done. I can't imagine all of the comments you must have received around town.

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

All that said, here are a few lids that I've worn over the past week...


Champ De Luxe...

A'n'A Custom Beaver...

Cavanagh, circa '30s...

 

[GregNYC]

AnA, your photo treatments really accentuate the hats' virtues. They look like the fine, classic hats they are, only moreso!

If you only had two hats, A&A, they should be the that Cav. and your own A&A Exclusive.

 

[GregNYC]

Today for a hike, an unstylish anti-UV getup. Tilley Airflo w/ Oakleys, a camo bandana and a UPF jersey. Hoping to switch to something more stylish later!

Thank you all for the comments on that brownie. As I said, the main culprit, as before I didn't care much of brown hats.

Today a 2 hat day. In the morning this brown Stagecoach again

And before lunch, switched to this wooly to finalize my moving (I do need a hat room!).

 

[DJH]

Greg - well spotted on the ribbon from yesterday's VS. This hat is made in the Adam Executive style (inspired by Eric - Short Balding Guy) and it does have a gill-style ribbon.

Here's a photo from some time ago

As always great hats today - Charlie, your new VS is fantastic!

We've been in Philly today, visiting with our daughter who is starting her senior year at Drexel University. The weather was perfect - a good excuse for a straw hat

Optimo/VS Dualist

This thread is filled with wonderful hats, but every once in a while one in particular will catch the eye and today this one did it for me:

A'n'A Custom Beaver...

The colors (at least in the photo) and the dimensions are just about as good as it gets in my opinion. Simply a beautiful hat. Well done!!!

 

[Daniele Tanto]

AnA I am very envious of your beautiful Custom Beaver, photo above.
I hope to find one very close in my next visit in an archaeological site.

 

[Jauntyone]

I wore a Vintage Silhouettes Whippet-style hat yesterday in beautiful Saint Saturnin, a small village up in the mountains in the center of France.

Nice VS J1 !
Good to see you back!!

 

[Jauntyone]

Thank you, sir! I've been lurking and enjoying the beautiful hats, just haven't had time to post.

 

[splintercellsz]

Jaunty, great looking hat!

1930s Stetson Stetsonian

I really like how they attached the sweatband in this one. Not a stitch to be seen

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Nice one Justin.

Today I started with this wooly again

and later switched to this 3x beaver Stetson again.

The usual amazing variety of lids this weekend from far and near gents. A tip of the hat to you all. The forecast sounded like straw and Aloha shirt but the reality was sleeves and the Portis Breeze-Lux for breakfast out this morning
