What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[65 Classic]

Hey all!
Tis the season for green hats!
This Alpenland Trachten that I got a few days ago is quite green. Even has a great seasonal color name...cypress!

It's a mystery as to where in the German speaking world it was made. All there is is a tip sticker and a generic looking factory tag. No stamps on the thin unreeded green sweat.

The felt is thick, stiff (especially the underwelted brim) and has a coarse, hairy feel to the hand. I thought maybe a wool blend, but then I have a P. & C. Habig with a similar finish. Having no experience with European wools or blends I can't say for sure, but it is much more pliable than the Litefelt and Dynafelt hats I have had in the past.
I wonder if I can find a tiny string of lights to put on it...
Have a great day!

It's a very nice hat. I've had only 1 green hat, It was a Borsalino Avgvsta. I should have kept it.

Went out for errands in our bitter cold snap. It has been cold like Minnesota for over a week. No snow, but damn...
Heavy black overcoat and my Barbisio "Rat Gondin" (Nutria) Homburg. This hat's diminutive lines just called for a sporty diamond crease. A playful Lobbia!

Silverbelly goes good with the coat.

There you go Michael, another great pick!

Thanks 65. I think I'll find I like a lot of hats with the coat. I guess one of the fun things about a new coat is being able to try out different hats with it.

Thanks,
Michael

Very nice. The eye catching ribbon really does its job.

Thanks 65!

Champ to cover from the cold

It wasn't too cold, so I retired the coat.

I certainly understand

At least you won't get wet.

Not so sure about that.
The wind might be an issue.

Joao, Lady B works for NASA and I asked her to check if the International Space Station is reporting any unusual sightings as it passes over Portugal.

ah ah
Please report. Someone might stole it but it's difficult to hide.

Thanks 65! There's just something about a nice green hat that I like.
I would have loved to see that Borsalino.

Mallory Aristocrate this morning for services. It's Christmas time so Santa / Coco Cola ties for now.

Fantastic Aristocrate Bill. I should dig out my Christmas ties. Maybe I should hunt for some vintage ones from the 40s/50s.

That is one sweet Champ '65. Nice ribbon work on that one. Great suit jacket, goes well with the hat.

Welcome to the modern age. Do you have pics of Rehfus-hats?

Yes back to hats. Rehfus & Cie hats are a less common find. You should take a look at the Rehfus & Cie thread on my website (see below). If you have questions please let me know.

Big? For most of you it's 2 to 3 times bigger than yours hats
