What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Randall Renshaw]

Yesterday’s hat: 2 3/4 brim, 4 11/16 crown ‘55 Cavanagh
Got it two days ago. Love it!

Today’s arrival:
A sweet 2 3/4 brim, 4 5/8 crown, 1 3/4 ribbon, late ‘50s Dobbs in a style close enough to a Hanover Square that’ll fulfill my need for that name plate , or Whippet. Love it even more! Somehow.

I are, Randy. Thanks!!!!
Been very blessed.
But I’m gonna take a long break. I’ve finally gotten my white whale. Not much left for me now but to enjoy the ones I can call mine.

Unless I find a very sweet Resistol fedora!

I stroll the streets in old downtown Galveston today with my Phoenix Musketeer Lite. This is one of the few parts of the city to survive the great storm of 1900. Prior to that, Galveston was to the U.S. what New York City is today.

Yeah, Tim, I like the wide brim binding, too. But it looks kinda rusty reddish in the pics, yet it’s only a chocolate brown. It’s sewn a half inch wide on top and a 1/4” on bottom. I absolutely love this fedora!

It's another good one, Michael.

Thanks Stefan.

Can't wait to see what you do with it my friend.

Wearing this ‘Super Borsalino’ that arrived the other day to get some pictures today.

this hat arrived a dirty crumpled mess. After a very thorough brushing and a quick reshaping... it’s now a much less crumped slightly less dirty hat.

I’m very curious if anyone knows anything about this model. Super Borsalino. This one appears to be French or at least was sold at a French hat store. Sools Maitre Chapelier.

I’m not sure what is up with this felt. Which appears either a dark grey or brownish.. depending on light. It is somewhat stiff... which allows for it to keep a razor sharp natural edge.. but it also feels that way in the crown.. (almost like canvas that has become sun dried) however it molds easily into shape still. Can pop it open.. or put in a crease easily. The ribbon is falling off... and under the ribbon the felt is a much lighter colored grey that feels a bit more smooth. I wonder if maybe there was a treatment put on the felt after the ribbon was attached. I don’t think it is just from being extremely dirty as the darker color is fairly uniform on all the exposed parts. Except a small area right on the bottom front of the brim that is lighter... maybe from tipping the brim.

I did find the remnants of a manufacturer label.. but it is rather damaged. The sweat appears to be unreeded and is coming attached in a few spots as the edge of the leather seems sewn directly to the corner of the felt.

I think I see the remnants of either a cellophane or paper liner tip

any thoughts on it are appreciated

Tirard Ragondia, homburg or "diplomatique" made in France in the fifties
View attachment 213965
One of my favourite of the bunch. I like the coordinations of the color, a monocolor
View attachment 213966
The weight of the Tirard (the first of the famous brands hats to close in 1956) is less of many others homburgs I have. It is a glove

Have a nice day!
Thanks for the likes!

Looking good Daniele
