What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Y'know those kind of days when you go digging for a hat you haven't worn in a while and come across another one you haven't worn in even longer and then change your mind?

Yeah, this is like that.

Barbisio Qualitá Extra. The third of the three hats I bought from Daniele recently. I fell for this one as soon as I saw Daniele's photos of it. Elegant style, bold colour, wonderful hand to the felt, simple but eye-catching ribbon and bow treatment, and quality finishes.
Barbisio at their best.

I can see why. Eye catching, indeed. Love it, Steve.

Another eye catcher. Beautiful, Joe.

Warm enough for straw as we headed up creek to check on the Bald Eagles. They weren’t home, but we could see them cruising the neighborhood.

I recently saw some Bald Eagles in a zoo over here. Magnificent birds. You’re lucky to be able to see them in the wild. I’m not really sure they belong in little zoo cages.
A little trivia for you. Did you know the largest eagles (now extinct) were from New Zealand? The Haast’s Eagle would attack the Moa (the largest bird to have lived, also extinct), and was also said to have preyed on humans on occasion.

Thanks Panos.
We need to talk to Matt about the scarf and tie, too. Perhaps we should hold a Danish, Norwegian, Dutch, and German conference on hats, coats, scarves, ties, jackets, and suits sometime in the new year :)
Wow, that's a great idea! I think we should make it Italian too, and maybe visit the fantastic rare-hats museum there (while getting some sun): rumours has it there is no guard ;)
I think you're on to something :)

Gentlemen: It would be my pleasure!
