Here today is a holiday. It is the Annunciation

Misty day and very cold. All the trees and the ground is frozen

To respect the tradition of these days I propose a Barbisio that more Italian you can not

It was done in the 70's with the characteristics of those years

The proportions are contained, especially the crown.
Felt

is really soft and the ribbon a little fancy
I gave him a form as it was in vogue in those years here in Italy

See this Barbisio so on my head was a long jump in the past
That's another story........

Have a nice day and thanks for the likes on the Albertini

Morning, all. Knox Madison Avenue today. Pics show I need to find a place at the office with better light.

Esther that blue and gray combo stuns me every time I see it. So nice. The second is really nice too. I like that shape and the color is perfect.

That is a great color Daniele. And I like that fancy ribbon. Looks very good on you.

Dark hats are tough to photograph against a very light wall, in my experience. As a matter of interest, how many Christmas ties do you have?

Too many, according to my wife. The collection varies from year to year as I acquire some and pass on others, but between the long ties and the bow ties they number about twenty. Enough to wear a different tie to the office every day from the beginning of the month, plus a few for holiday parties and other formal functions.

Thank you Blue! You might live to regret encouraging me! Blocks and other materials I gotta plenty, you will see more of them.

Nice. I can see that if you have one hat from each of those we'll be seeing new hats from you for quite a long time.

Good that Cristina is here. Both hats are marvelous (of course), but it's a real treat to see one of your non-felt creations. That's a really stylish beauty.

Thank you Matt. Good thing she's here. I forget I have these...
It's actually a long hair felt. Leaves are also long hair.
Glad to hear you like it.

Stetson Premier Vita-Felt

And a shot of the Young Men's Shop in D.C. where this guy first hit the streets.

Happy Friday eve.

Love it. Though I reckon that I'd look pretty silly under it. [emoji6]

Great hat.
Your trademarked smirk kind of looks a bit like a grimace, though. I hope the pain is not too bad.

All good, Matt! Sure, there's some discomfort and inconvenience, but keeping an eye on the prize works for me. I'll be fine!! Thanks so much! Your lid today really works well with the changing leaves backdrop. Man, I love that lid!

I'm way behind around here, as it's a challenge to stay with anything for long. I don't even watch the tube, err, flatscreen...
Today should allow me to do so, although typing one-handed with my non-dominant hand is a challenge.

It's been mid-20's to mid-30's here so I'm just going layered with a western felt outback conversion done by Mike at NW Hats. They're saying the "s" word for today and maybe freezing rain mixed in throughout the day. If I have to stop and put on chains, I don't want to be wearing nice slacks and a pristine, fancy fur felt. This old Stratton can take what mama nature dishes out.

Thanks Charlie.

"An eye on the prize" is a great attitude, especially when its hard to catch up and stick with stuff for long. Recovery is a great teacher of patience.

My father is a lefty, too. When he was a kid, his teachers tried to get him to write with his right hand... trying to cure him of his sinister tendencies. He always notices (and mentions) when he sees lefties and gets a kick out of contemplating "left-handedness" (he's kind of eccentric). In your time in between trying to stay with things, perhaps you will get a kick out of reading this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_against_left-handed_people

Be well.
