What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Way to put lipstick on the porcine hat Bob! Doing your own Optimo is definitely a skill I would like to master.

Thanks Mike ... not too hard with the right tool.

Our state license plate reads, "Land of 10,000 lakes. In fact Minnesota has 11,842 lakes. That's a lot of lakes, but Alaska has over 3,000,000 lakes. In any case this morning I watched the local Osprey's fishing and bringing food back to their high roost.

I wore a "Genuine Imported Panama."

Early summer still has a lot of color.

Home and fixing lunch I changed to a Cordova Cap. This is the ultimate in breezy and light head gear.

I like the look of that cap so much, Eric, that I immediately looked up Cordova to see where to get one. He’s not taking orders anymore. BUMMER! Looking well man.

Excellent hats I've seen this week. A pleasure to watch. It's been quite busy and I found my plans for a Ecuadorian week thwarted by a severe drop in temperature and rain. Here's the harvest for the past week without a theme though.

I do see a theme - great hats for variable weather. The pugs on the straw hats are keen.

Stefan, Great series! Actually your Peschel is German. After WWII Anton Peschel started up again in Dinkelsbühl, Germany.

It makes you wonder about the kind of guy in c1959 who wandered into the hat shop and was drawn to that ribbon. Absolutely cool colorway on that high end Stetson. Nice find.

A guy with an eclectic taste in style I suppose. Glad he did though!

great Borsalino today.

Borsalino Qualita Superiore

This Borsalino Qualita Superiore made for Portuguese market is the thinnest lightest weight Unlined felt hat I have ever handled. Super soft thin moldable felt with a 2 in brim and a mid ribbon.

Because the hat was originally sold at Teo The English Outfitters in Gibraltar I suspected the 6 3/4 sizing on the tag may well be UK sizing. It does appear by fit that is the case.

I was expecting from the photos a project hat that was going to need a deep cleaning as it appeared to be covered in some type of fungus. However I was able to remove most of it with a very heavy brushing.

It is a super comfortable and very sleek and stylish hat that is a pleasure to wear.
