What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[ManWithNoName]

Douglas, your hat collection is immaculate. Also, the beard really suits you (compared to your bare faced avatar pic).

Thanks Bolthead, my new avatar is a photo taken by our own DanielJones a couple of years ago at Disney.
I just love the way the photo turned out.

Nice hat RBH. You aint looking so good though!

 

[Bud-n-Texas]

Good eye Douglas, yes it is. :eusa_clap

Carter, when I got the hat, it had the standard OR crown. I prefer the cattleman's crease on my westerns, but a c crown or diamond crown with forward pinches dominate my dress hats. :fedora:

Mingo, the Black Borso is one of my favs

JT - lol "Borsalinos always look better when worn by somebody "with skin on." Yours is no exception!"

It's getting a bit colder here, but its still not bad. I wore my Hopkins Milan.

[RBH]

Carter super nice hat!

Razz those are sweet fedoras!

Bud I love that Open Road!

Douglas as always!!!!

Bolt I really like that ribbon!

DMan That is a super nice straw! I love it!

Vintage Betty you were born to wear hats! They all look great on you!

 

[Vintage Betty]

Thanks RBH! I didn't wear this hat all summer (at least I didn't take a photo of me wearing this hat); so I figured Too bad fashion police! If people can wear shorts and t-shirts after labor day, I can wear my white hat!

That is exactly what I said when I took it out of the box.

May I gently inquire where you purchased this hat? One doesn't see Bulgarian hats too often of this quality...great hat by the way...

VB, OK. Just for you.

Today, it's the Stetson Continental. It needs a new ribbon but I like this hat a lot.

 

[Dinerman]

Flat top?

Thank you Mr. Carter! I really enjoy seeing your smiling face shining at me.

I am seeing some outrageously wide ribbon on the men's hats this week for fall. Do you *have* to replace the ribbon? It looks great on that hat.

[bolthead]

Carter, I dig the backbow ribbon treatment on your Stetson...I think they're really cool looking.
I have a few myself.
It's a great hat. :eusa_clap

Stetson Continental

Flat top?

Dman, 4 3/4" crown indented (ala Porkpie), 2" overwelt brim, 2 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, 2 1/4" ribbon treatment on rear of hat with a center seam and a 1/8" pleat on each side. The color is rust.

VB, I like everything about the ribbon except for the fact that it is faded on the front and right sides. I won't replace it unless I can find an exact match in all dimensions and an exact (or very close) match in color.

bolthead, I agree. It's not something you see everyday.

Mineral, I will get that info for you. My understanding is a Euro 5-1/2 is equal to a US 7-1/4. This hat fits just like my size which is 7-1/4.

Hi, Douglas, thanks for the reply. I am quite curious myself about buying the hats from Bulgaria as well, and too bad from the sizes avaiable they appear to need a rather risky stretch to fit my head.

That hat you have looks absolutely stunning.

Today I had to judge a chili cooking contest, at our local fall festival. Somehow, this seemed appropriate. Lock & Co., St. James St., London. Yes, it's red (fur) velour.

Dressed up a bit today . . .

So I got out my Optimo . . . .

I just stopped in to "see" the famous Optimo shop a month or so back . . . I knew I wasn't going to buy a hat, because I could simply not afford one . . .

But Graham got me to try a couple on . . . and this one looked so good . . .
Well, the rest is history.
