What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[mayserwegener]

Dang! I can't find anything like that. All that ever shows up on ebay is tourist stuff. I wish that Stefan would find me one.

Max, Thanks! Yes I was very lucky to find this one and it to be such good condition.

 

[mayserwegener]

Wow. What a green

Joe, Thank you! Yes it's really green!

 

[mayserwegener]

Wow beautiful green ! Very cool invoice, not sure what currency that is, what would that dollar amount be in USD ?

Tim, Thank you! I think it might be in Czechoslovakian Crowns. I will see if I can figure out the conversion.

 

[mayserwegener]

Well yes. One must keep up appearances even via zoom. Looking good sir

Stefan, Thank you! I forgot your green aversion. This one will shock your senses!

Great German Series addition with the "Halali". I believe it's from Max Wiese Berlin.

Wow, Joe! What a find, what a piece of history, and what a resurrection. Congrats all round

Thanks so much Steve... very much appreciated

Number 2 of the Dutch batch from the Dutch hat master. Borsalino Suprema.
Love the colour and dimensions on this one. A suprema Borsalino indeed. View attachment 232045 View attachment 232046 View attachment 232047

Oooh. I really do love that color combination. Looks great with your whole ensemble

Inspired by Joe, this is Day 1 of my "31 Days of Hats" parade. In no particular order, mostly just what falls to hand each day. Today, I ventured out to Home Depot in a early 1950s Borsalino Featherweight. This hat has came from Anthony Amodio and the crease is his creation. Featherweight is a true description of this one, lighter than a popcorn fart!

Congrats to your daughter Ginevra and you Daniele! You should be a proud poppa.

Great to see you looking well and so good, Mike.

That Borsalino Featherweight is truly a lightweight dream

Stay well and safe.

30:30 OT:31
Knox Flying Cloud - Brown

My 30 Days to 30 Hats has ended. I’m excited to see Mike @Redfokker present his 31 day parade along with the Theme weeks from Stefan and Steve. My 30:30 may be over.. but I am left with some great hats that didn’t make the cut so I decided to present them in Overtime. Since it is my OT it will be my rules... and that means I won’t really have rules. I’ll just try to get to them as I feel like it. Maybe mix in some others as I go. So here we go with 30:30 OT:31

This medium brown Knox Flying Cloud I thought would be a great companion piece to the grey Knox Flying Cloud I picked up about a year ago.... which I really love.. The grey one is one with a “Custom Edge” (Cavanagh) and great feel to the felt. This one I think may be a slightly later issue as it has an underwelt brim and glued in liner typical of maybe a very late 60s early 70s release. It does however have the VERY cool flying cloud liner as does the grey one.. though less of a golden look to it. They both have 1 3/4 brims and this one has a slightly taller crown at 4 3/4... though I think it is just how they are bashed... open is probably about the same. This hat along with a Charcoal grey Charles Knox hatter I received... both originally sold at Jacob Reed’s Sons in Philadelphia from a retail price of $30 marked down to $15. A very cool little hat... and a nice start for The OT

This week I will feature J. Hückel´s Söhne Soft Felt Hats. J. Hückel´s Söhne was nationalized as Tonak after 1945.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible Seal Velour", Crown Open 6 inches, Brim 2 1/4 inches, probably early to mid 1930s. Only "Flexible Seal Velour" I have in my collection. As usual the JHS Velour is especially fantastic (color, density, pliability, finish). Unfortunately I have caused damage to the liner crest.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Grand-Prix Paris" Display, 1920s - 1930s.

J. Hückel´s Söhne, Hückel Display Pin, 1920s - 1930s.

A cool windy day here in South Carolina. Fed IV in moonstone with a diamond crease was my hat for the day.

Out with the wife and kids for drive. My VS crossover. I wonder if my complexion is suited for such a light grey hat?

stay safe everyone
