What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[AbbaDatDeHat]

Marque Grand Luxe!! I was looking for one of those every day for a week before my PayPal fight. I read on the net that the felt is incredible.
What does the feel of the felt remind you of, Bowen?

A highly recommended search. They made a 6x which is posted in the Borsalino Brotherhood thread in the last 2-3 months with discussion. Good luck...keep lookin.

That curve in the brim is a perfect as can be. I need to make a visit to wherever you’re finding these gems.

Thanks, Brent. This one is actually an Ebay find.

Running late, as usual, and a two second decision led to the Charles Royce. A sure sign that the hat is a favorite.

Very nice, Brent. Classic shape and colours.

Yeah...the ladies...disco was tough to suffer through!!

So was line dancing.

You look great in that OR shaped Shantung Roger.


I always have to think twice when we talk about the "turn of the last century". My mind always goes to 1900, not 2000. Antique, vintage for sure Bob. Of course, I'm antique and vintage myself.


Wow, looks like you are enjoying yourself. And well-hatted while in the process. Your dad looks great in a fine Milan.


A definite improvement. Nice straw!

Thanks!

In keeping with the Borsalino binge.
Today it’s a not brown Marque Grande Luxe 5x somewhat velourish Ecosti? in Paliadie? I believe. Hard time reading the tag. I love the feel of this felt. It reminds me of a Playboy in form.
Be well. Bowen

Very cool crease Bowen. Impressive Borsalino.

That felt looks dreamy Brent. Is Royce a store brand or a hatter? Interesting.

Ooohhhhh. Gotta have it.
Wonderful description! It reminded me of Julie Andrews singing "My Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music."

Store brand. No idea who actually made it. Dense felt with a great hand. Cavanagh edge to boot.

Ana in her Optimo Milan. The last is a sea water pool in La Concha, a private club in Las Brisas, Acapulco. The sea comes into the pool through a narrow opening. You gotta watch out for nibbling fish and there is a warning not to step on the sea urchins.

Good to see it in the daylight, Steve. Very nice.

Stefan, Thanks! Your Wulfken/Penumbra Panama has a really fine weave and great form. Super!

Penumbra. What a beautiful name for a hat company! It doesn't translate well into English. It means "almost shadow" or "almost darkness". It sounds beautiful, too.

Thanks, Micheal. Your sharp eyes never miss a trick. I will post the suit on the appropriate thread. It has some details I am sure you will find interesting.

I will look forward to seeing and hearing more about it.

Great lines on the Gordon. Do I remember this one having some age? Older than the 50s. Nice.

Yes, I like the lines of this one. I have no real idea of the age, but the lines and dimensions suggest something more like the 30s than the 50s. I don't know when Gordon and Ferguson quit making hats, but I believe they started shortly after the turn of the 20th century.

Thanks,
Michael

Very nice, Michael. Looks like some excellent finishing on that hat.

It seems to be a well made hat. It's another one of those that is in such a nice interior condition that I'm sort of afraid to wear it.

I picked up this felt cap number the other day. It's what I always call, to myself at least, a bicycling beanie. Made by Gap in China of 100% wool felt.

They call it Navy, but it appears as black to my eyes.

It's been my bicycle companion for the last couple of days, and I think will be for many more in the future.

Off to the garden store, never can have enough plants. Wearing a coconut Lee straw. My best guess on this one is late 1950s. Workhorse straw.

Sharp Classic, Red!

Bentley Quality Hats boater. Interesting how the crown differs from the brim.

I seem to remember seeing an advert for Gordon Hats in the cyberspace, maybe the Hatter Magazines that are digitized in Amazon(?)

Very interesting, the difference in the weaves really draws the eye. Great boater.

Are you gigging around Seattle these days?

No, I'm down SSW of Portland and haven't played in quite some time.
