What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[drmaxtejeda]

A nice shine on that optimo, Max. Cool hat.

I have been debating whether to ask Ignacio to block it to a more European shape, like an Optimo Manhattan. The Lounger who sold me this hat said he had it altered to its present shape, and I saw a video of Graham Thompson handling a Melusine in a video. It looks like a Manhattan, and I really, really like that one.

Today....since i follow all the rules and yield unconditionally, as a junior member to Seniority and read the memo, wouldn’t be right not to throw a little Italy in the mix.
So...WAR, Borsalino, backbow with a stingy. Interesting the 3 step backbow and 3 stitch over-welt.
Be well. Bowen

You are amazing, Bowen. What type of rare hat don't you have?

Nothing special about this Dobbs Royal Coachman in dark chocolate, but it’s a good city heavyweight.

Hey all!
This Mayser from our Dutch connection warms my head on a grey afternoon.

Have a great day!

Wegener possibly late 1920s and a recent arrival.

Rain is coming at some point today, so I've got my modern Stetson Boss Raw Edge. Pardon my 'why didn't it take a picture - oh, the timer is on' expression in the first pic.

I got this memo! Followed it to the letter too! Nice one, Jim. Here's mine (Resistol beaver twenty backbow):

That Resistol is great, I loved getting a close up look before shipment. Seems to like the rain.

Light snow has me sport'n a wool cap for the afternoon/evening.

Best, Eric -

Oh wow! Love that bold green color.

Impressive hat Alan. Is this one from the same era as Justins? Classic.

Optimo Melusine today

Fantastic sheen on this green beauty Max. Interesting color combo.

That’s the combo faucet steamer right Red?? And the marble workstation in between for ironing and hat spinning right Red?? Does she know yet?

No, but when there are a pile of hats in there when she is getting ready in the morning, I might be in some trouble.

Thanks Red. It's one of the nicer felts I have. Great floppy Barbisio for you and good to see the remodel is progressing.
Thanks Stefan. Spiffy Resistol Back Bow you have going today.

Have a good one,

I think the fluffy longhair season has started! I still dig that USAF Overcoat.

Way to bring out the big guns on today's theme Bowen. That back bow really is special. Borsalino always seems to go one step better on details like this. That brim stitching is the berries also.

Gorgeous Dobbs, the details are in true Coachman style.

Simply a class act today John. There is something about the lines of a European Homburg that draws the eye.

Incredible Steve. The brim curl on this one is just the coolest. Great shape for it's age.

What a brim. Perfect umbrella for pending rain Jared.

From the difference in LOTXXXX numbers and the Fray imprint, a little earlier.

The bow treatment on this cherry wonder is interesting. Do you have a close up? Very nice Jeff.

Thanks for the kind comments and likes!

Jeff: luckily for the hat, the worst of rain happened during the driving part and it only was out with the dogs.

The last two days I’ve worn the same hat. Vintage 50s Royal Stetson bluegrass.
