What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Pellie]

Fleur of Penumbra hats, has send me the reblocked Hufvud. I'm very satisfying with it....

 

[belfastboy]

Don’t I know it. And you guys never leave me in any doubt about who’s looking better!
But she doesn’t own much in the way of typical Fedora-type hats. I do keep encouraging her on that front, but she’s not so confident in that style. She tends to prefer cloches or Casa Blanca(?) hats…mushroom hats?…like a kettle brim, but with the brim turned down rather than up. I’m still getting to know the women’s hat styles and what they’re called.


Thanks for the pictures. That second hat, in particular, is quite spectacular. Etsuko was also impressed. We’ll certainly keep you in mind next time Etsuko’s looking for something.

If she sees a picture of a hat he likes but cannot find in a shop tell her to let me know and I can advise her if I am able to replicate it for her.

Late but well worth the wait! I love this hat of yours!


Keep the special felt finishes parade going, Daniele!!

Thank you! It's in great shape, given it's apparent age.

Thinking warmer thoughts with a Champ Texan while slopping through the first measurable snow to the bus stop and post office this morning:

Hat tip to Tom (@St.Ignatz) for a super smooth transaction. Maybe we'll see him donning a Disney in the near future.

If it's any help for Etsuko, the Fedora was originally a lady's hat. They became popular among women after Sarah Bernhardt, one of the most adored actresses of her day, wore a similar type hat while playing the title character, Fédora, in a French play from the early 1880s. They only became popular among men during the next century.

Apart from Humphrey Bogart, no one looks better in a Fedora than a women

I agree. Plus any excuse to post a pic of my wife in one of her fantastic fedoras is a chance I won't pass up.

Q.E.D.

Thanks. We might do that. The Maxim hats that she has plenty of are fur felt, but the cloches she ordered recently are wool. It seems difficult to find much in the way of fur felt cloches.

I have a few in stock and I have a number of sources both in the US and from Europe. Women's hats/millinery does tend towards cheaper throw away 'fashion' but there are sources for good felts at fair prices....mostly rabbit. Wool blanks for cloche hats are very cheap to buy.

 

[St.Ignatz]

Sorry Bill. One of her Borsalino favorites.

She has great taste in fedoras but her choice of husband is questionable.

a 3 day warm front blew in and temps rose into the 80's today. Still, I went with the Open Road/natural.
Daytime temp should be 30 degrees cooler by Thursday.

Brrrrr, down below 70° F. this morning. Wearing a Clear Nutria Stetson, and a Horsehide Monarch coat, both probably made before I was.

Nice VS! What is the jacket? It looks like it may be goatskin.

It's Chinese made cowhide about 10 or so years old. At least I think it's cowhide. Overpriced but it was a crazy buy one and get two free so I got a backup and a soft as butter lamb skin. Who would have thought they would hold up so well? Go figure.
