What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Michael A]

Thank for your kind words.
My daughter Ginevra is the only in my family with ice-blue eyes, my father's gift.
We celebrated Christmas and Hannukkah (Festa delle luci) in family, in the home of Monica mother, and for almost starved Jim the menu was only fish.
Here Jim at you choice the dishes: Scottish smoked salmon, ravioli with shrimp and zucchini, cold salad of octopus and potatoes and red snapper baked in salt with confit tomatoes. Classic tiramisu. Wines: Prosecco di Valdobbiadene and Gerwutztraminer South Tyrol plus for the sweets Recioto della Valpolicella
You know that here is Italian custom to talk about food while you eat so good appetite for you eating
The hat is today the same as yesterday

Stetson Absinthe kind gift from Steve

It comes directly from the outlet of Garland

It has some flaws, the lining is poorly positioned and ribbon and bow are made a little hastily. Excellent felt

I like a lot and also the Boxing Day is on my head

Buon Lunedì a tutti!

The Stetson looks great on you Daniele. I like that color combo. It sounds like you had an excellent dinner and visit with your daughter yesterday.

Looking great this Boxing Day & feast day of St. Stephen, folks.

I'm heading out to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee under a Premier Vita-Felt homburg.

May each of you avoid being beaten up and/or martyred today.

Oh... And have fun. [emoji6]

Having fun being the martyr today. My wife's birthday so like every other day, It is all about her! Love this homburg, and a vita-felt too boot! This is exactly what I'm looking for in my next vintage hat, a brown or gray mullet'burg!

Here Boxing day is called San Esteban and is a holiday in Catalonia.

Saw that and flashed back to grade school when I learned that Dec 26 is the Feast of St Stephen, and Good King Wenceslaus was to be sung on the 2nd day of Christmas.

Play Music !

Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gath'ring winter fuel

"Hither, page, and stand by me
If thou know'st it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes' fountain."

"Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear him thither."
Page and monarch forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather

"Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can go no longer."
"Mark my footsteps, my good page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly."

In his master's steps he trod
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the Saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing

This was last Sunday on the way to church. It was cold that weekend. Now it's in the 80's.

Very sharp! What is the story on the hat, great brim!

 

[Redfokker]

Little trip to Brussels for some items.

Thanks for taking us with you! Lovely color and ribbon on that creation! Good to start my morning with.

Another use for a hat...napping in a recliner.

Holy St. Stephen!!! That's an amazing lid, my friend!

Chamuco, I'm still trying to figure out how your pictures get flipped but this is the first time I've noticed your hat on backwards?

I really like wearing my Coober Pedy especially this time of yr, & I'll be watching for one in BGG to go on sale.

He's south of the border, so everything appears backwards.

 

[Redfokker]

I hope you are all enjoying the holidays! Looks like everyone here has been celebrating in style, I will have to have a better look at all the hats when I have some more time

It's warm and very windy here, so no hat but a light absorbing velvet beret for me today

Lovely color! This hat should serve you well today.

Such a wonderful photo! The hat looks good too, but that smile! Priceless!

Thought that was Australians.

Nothing like the holidays to bring out the best! Best hats, best family photos, best of times!! I hope everyone enjoyed the joy.

Brown Borsalino for Boxing Day!!

I was beginning to think it was because of all the tequila I've been drinking.

A wonderful feast to be sure Daniele! I like this Stetson, the color looks good on you. Nice looking felt in the photos.

Lovely hats and family pictures (Sergej, Daniele and so many others). Here Boxing day is called San Esteban and is a holiday in Catalonia. My hat made from my stash of vintage velours, has a bow made with the same fabric as the jacket, and a vintage Jomaz brooch of a carol singer.

A very elegant look, that hat is stunning. And a lovely model to display it on!

 

[Redfokker]

Boxing Day? Ugh...

We should rename it cardboard recycling day! At least your pile looks semi organized. You should see the living room here at my grade school age nieces house!

I like the overall shape and the brim treatment of this one Bob. It goes well with the whole look!

And a very merry let's make turkey soup day to all of you afflicted with a carcass to deal with. Knox Grafton on a sunny, but windy morning.

Have fun.

That Knox goes so well with that overcoat. It is a nice shade of green, great look again today!
