What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

I wore my navy Borsalino Anello to work today as I have been fairly regularly these days. It wasn’t my plan when I bought it, but I’ve had trouble matching it with my regular wardrobe. @daizawaguy told me it went well with a suit and as usual, he was right. Anyhow, I’m enjoying wearing this one regularly.

Ah, yes. The Adam "Cobra."

Looking good, Perry!

Modernish Stetson Zephyr Weight. Shaped like a Pork Pie with a barely flanged mostly flat brim.

I like this one a lot Rick. What's the brim width?

Whew! 130! Got to be hard letting go of the favorites, but imagine you’re doing well with profit margins.
Good luck on the boots and jackets! Took a long time for me to sell one very nice pair of black Justins on the Bay. Black cow hide doesn’t seem to bring much enthusiasm.

Ha, profit margins are hard when your collection is overwhelming, but the locals get to see inspect fit try on & they get engaged to take more than 1 in person.
in the past i moved a lot of boots here & boots are not easy to store
I just sold a nice pair of boots to a long time member here yesterday 1 down tons left.
I have fedoras 7-1/8 to 7-14 & boots sizes 10 to 11 leathers size 40 to 42 & i ship message me if anyone would like info.

Sounds great, but I'm 7-1/2, 12, and 44L. LOL

Re-shaped the un-branded velvet Fedora to a Pork Pie. The ribbon and bow treatment just gave me that vibe.

Took it for a spin today.

Mallory Premier
Rich chocolate brown felt
4 1/2 crown as shaped
1 5/8 brown grosgrain ribbon
2 1/2 front 2 3/8 sides dimensional brim with 3/8 bound edge


A real heavy brushing removed several decades of dirt, dust and cigarette smoke to reveal the absolutely beautiful rich chocolate brown felt on this Mallory Premier with whippet styling. The liner has the 1817 date which I believe indicates a post 1946 Stetson take over hat. My guess would be a 1950s hat. This hat very very much so looks and feels a whole heck of a lot like my whippet in it’s blocking, proportions and styling as well as felt quality. Really really happy with this hat. Definitely not bad for a “Boys Size 7 Youth Dress Hat”. Thank you to @BobHufford for the enabling on this one!

You look plumb snazzy in that jazzy porker, Steve!
