What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[BobHufford]

Jeeping around town running errands, today. Wearing a Mallory OR clone. I’m guessing this hat was made well after Stetson aquired Mallory. In fact, it’s quality...or lack thereof...reminds me of the stiff, cardboard-like ORs made a decade ago. But it’s still a good hat everyday wearing...and I’ve always liked the color.

Nice hat! Do you need your Jeep rolled back over?

Haha! Nowadays, if my Jeep is four-wheeling, it’s because I’ve accidentally run off of the pavement. It’s more of a old guy’s kiddy car than a serious off-road vehicle.

Very nice, Michael. Cool colour.

Thanks Stefan. The color is a little variable. Yesterday and last night it was a kind of pastel green. Today it seems to me sort of blue. Other days it's gray.

Thanks. My crown is very soft, but the brim is fairly stiff. Of course, mine was virtually unworn when I got it, so maybe that has something to do with.

And I think that pin harkens back to Christa Mcauliff, no?


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

I wish mine was in unworn condition. Not that it is bad condition. Is yours Aristocrat Quality?

That is what I figured to pin to be about.

Thanks,
Michael

Who are you and what have you done with Karl? Totally different look for you, Karl. Love the brim stitching on that Borsalino.

yeh, it's something, the stitching. Cheers, but I can't stand looking at myself, but we'll see, couple of days it'll be normal.

OK, now you're just showing off!

It's the jacket, isn't it?

Another fantastic hat. Come to think of it though, I don't think I've seen any of yours that aren't fantastic.

Beautiful Premier Matt, you may just have to learn to love that spot

Thanks Richard. Love might be too strong of a word. I'm working on acceptance, though.

Great Borsalino today, brother.

Man, I don't know how you do it! All of your hats are amazing, but 1910s looking that good, priceless.

That lid is amazing!

Brüder Böhm "Lido", made of Wool, probably late 1930s and from my May 2016 NOS Czech find.

Unfortunate oxidation of the sweatband logo.

Brüder Böhm Hat Holder from the same May 2016 Czech find probably also from the late 1930s.

Love that velour! It has such a luxurious and plush looking texture and great crown and brim proportions.

Thanks!

I really need to start looking for a good Borsalino. All the size 58's I've see lately are either priced too high or in really bad shape.

Looks very light for a wool?

Rand in the rain...

Beautiful hat.
Best way to get your mind off that spot is to focus instead on thst popped stitch on the brim binding...

Ha, funny Moe. Sorry Matt.

Karl, I looked at the fur hairs with a video microscope and it's made of Wool. B.B. were known for Wool Soft and Stiff Felt Hats. The hairs are not course so it has a smooth finish. If I get a chance I will take photos. This is a very unique hat so hard to explain. I doubt there is anything else like it on the FL.
