What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Richard Morgan]

Posted some poor phone pictures earlier of the new Mallory XV. Since sun...here are a couple that capture the color and details.
Sorry for the double post of this one, but it is the hat I'm wearing ALL DAY! Going to dinner with the in-laws now.

Nice Mike, if that was my hat I would probably wear it all week.

Nora-Hüte (Vienna) probably early 1950s maybe earlier and a recent arrival. Nora-Hüte was most likely a shop and there are no other company marks present.

Great lines and color

I like this one too Bob. Another cool beaded hat band.

Nice looking hat band on that one, Bob.

Yup. I like that crease.

Thanks fellas! The band is a kid's vintage beaded belt.

And absolutely frigid day, literally and figuratively. -5 outside. Went to a funeral today for one of my oldest and closest friends who was taken on Christmas in a senseless act of violence.
Some things I'll never understand.

So sorry to hear this Wes. My brother-in-law and his fiancé were killed in 1999 (at age 30) by another senseless act related to a robbery and a high speed chase. Sending thoughts and prayers your way...

Love the square crown and wide ribbon. That hat makes a statement!

Another of my conversions this cold Saturday. This Stagecoach has been taken apart and converted by three different people with me being the last to work on it.

Dynamite proportions. What's the brim width?

Steaming hats will be your new mantra with that Jiffy. Love this Frenchie.

Thanks Mike!

Looks like a good solid Sat with that French chapeau

Thanks 65! There are worse ways to spend a Saturday than steaming hats!

I am sorry to hear of your loss, Wes.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

 

[Wesslyn]

Thanks for the kind words, friends.
I hope you all have a safe and warm New Year

Very sharp. I love the fullness and shape of that crown.

Thanks, Roger.

Going with ye ol' c. 1900 (or thenabouts) Dunlap.

This hat reminds me why I love old derbies so much. Tight curl... high crown... neato vents... extraordinary craftsmanship...

The subtle differences in the form from company to company and year to year just thrill me. It tempts me to offer to trade all of my fedora style soft felts (but not the homburgs) for stiff felts that I really, really dig. Well... maybe not ALL of the fedoras...

May your final Saturday of 2017 be the most superspecialspectacularificacious one yet. View attachment 100164 View attachment 100165 View attachment 100166 View attachment 100167 View attachment 100168 View attachment 100169 View attachment 100170 View attachment 100171 View attachment 100172

Very cool, Matt!

Nice.

Thanks, Bob.

Borsalino Angora collecting snow flakes ... this hat loves this weather

Fantastic, Anthony! The hat seems to come into its own in the snow.

Beautiful Stefan, the color is interesting against the brick background. The lines of this one are classic.

Mike, thank you. The eventide colour is hard to pin down; soemtimes more red, sometimes more grey.

Sun in Verona with low temperature nights
Panizza "Bolzano" color, never sold in Apulia

Deep grey soft fur felt with short hair finish

Very traditional EU shape, with average brim and "fat" crown

Made probably in the sixties in Ghiffa - Lago Maggiore in the historical Panizza factory

It is one of the lightest short hair hat I have in my collection

Have a nice Saturday and be ready for the New Year eve
Here son and daughter are preparing their party, Monica and me a fish dedicated dinner
Thanks for the appreciation on the Carlton homburg

Wonderful looking felt on that hat, Daniele.

1940's mid ribbon Stetson is my choice of head cover today.

Super looking hat, Robert. A nice change from the thin ribbon Stetsons we see so often here both in ribbon width and contrast.

Playboy on a mild Saturday morning. A temporary warning before the cold,

Have a wonderful long weekend

Very nice, Richard. Lovely colour.

First outing for the Mallory XV shark's gill today. I'll try to get better pictures later. Loving this one a lot. Have to hit it with some steam, this is just a dry bash, very nice dress weight felt. Clay like to the fingers.

You've got yourself a winner right there, Mike!
