What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Rmccamey]

I was going to say, Way Cool toppers Steve. Great hats! Then Stefan comes along and.....Way Cool, Stefan, what a hat!

Panos, you should definitely search for one and acquire one for yourself. A top hat would look good on you, and you'll never look back [emoji4]

Great shot, Steve. How cool is that?!

Makes a Borsalino Nutria Opale with a double ribbon look boring (well, almost).

Sort of new. It is quite something. Daniele and I both spotted it and because the seller wouldn't ship outside of Italy, Daniele got it for me. It has been sitting on Fleur of Penumbra's bench for ages. It had a pork pie crease that looked awful on me (my wife and I agreed on that).

Wow Stefan the treatment on that Barbisio is certainly eye catching! If you've just described it to me, I would not have thought that it would work as well as it does in real life!

It's the future of hats!

In all seriousness, very striking. This example is quite the piece!

Hans Baumgärtner Fürth possibly early 1950s. The ribbon / bow is from Optimo Chicago. Slick, shiny, very pliable old style velour.

Opted for my newest hat (an Art Fawcett creation):

Stephen Stetson lords hat. Black hats aren’t my favorite, but this is one of a few that really stand out.

Wonderful!

Wow fantastic! The felt looks sublime, and I like the lacing thorough the leather.

Love that Dalton, Jim. I went to a concert something north of 50 years ago where the Who were the opening act for Herman's Hermits. I'm guessing it was their first tour of the states.

I did a search for the 1967 Herman's Hermits tour. It produced some concert playbills that showed you probably saw The Blue Magoos.

Where did you see them?

I saw them at the Fargo Civic Center. I"ve pulled up the bill, too, but that is not what the first act was. It was definitely a 3 person band. I vaguely recall some story of a fill in act because the opener had missed the plane or something or other. On the other had I could be dreaming. Ha ha.

OK, now you've sparked my curiosity. I wonder if there's a review.

I haven't been able to find one, and I've looked a couple of times over the years. The archives of the Fargo Forum would probably be the most likely to have survived to the internet. But they were a very conservative outfit and I don't remember if they covered rock and roll in any way at all.
