What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Edward]

The treatment on this Ukrainian 160 gram rabbit fur in silverbelly was well done. It was pounced quite a bit and the suede finish gives it a very light hand. The top and side venting with no liner make it nice and cool when I wear it to the beach.

Lovely hat - the venting is really nicely done. Is this a modern-production piece? (Asking because I'm leaning in the direction of a vented, unlined furfelt for that awkward, inbetweeny weather.... )

An excellent looking Morreton, Daniele. Nothing brings out the best qualities in velour than the light of the sun. Congrats.

Might it once have had a wider ribbon or is the higher ringmark perhaps due to stacking?

Thanks Steve, I was a little bit lazy and I had not brushed well the Morreton.
The high ringhark is due to the stackin

What a beautiful hat Daniele. Appears to match the weather.

Thanks Joe, your hats are more and more fabolous

Wow, that is something else. Super looking velour, Daniele. Fabulous find.

Ciao Stefan e grazie. It was a lucky find, but now I dedicated my time to choose the best of YOUR week parade

Daniele, Fantastic looking Morreton French Zephyr Velour! The close cropped Morreton Velour finish (JHS Seal Velour like) really shines in the sunlight.

Grazie Steve. I tried to be a competitor with yours, but I feel no more than a pupil

It's been an Agnoulita couple of days. Yesterday, I wore my marine blue with burgundy ribbon and pleate box bow treatment

Today, it was the turn of my light grey with charcoal ribbon.

I've also enjoyed reading some of the old posts on the Agnoulita Hats thread. Some wonderful examples there. I can recommend it if you don't know it already.

That pleated box bow looks great. I love that colour combination…similar to @Rumad’s? Gannon - always a standout.

Thanks, Gary. I love the colour combo, too. Not to mention the pleated box bow. I have to thank Panos @PanosChris. It was originally his hat and bespoke choice for Mr. P to make at Agnoulita.

New arrival, a vintage unknown Champ fedora. Is this crown style what they call a porkpie? Needs a new feather and a bit of cleaning, but in nice condition. Love to hear any comments! View attachment IMG_20220215_175845_263.jpg View attachment IMG_20220215_175850_384.jpg

Your knowledge and collection far exceeds mine, Joe. You come up with some amazing hats.

Hopkins Genuine Panama
Fine weave - 5 3/8 crown
Black puggaree
Pencil curl brim - 2 1/2 to curl

This very cool fine weave Panama with pencil curl brim and sort of homburg stylings along with what would be my first boater came off a tip from @BobHufford I really like the styling of this hat and it is like no other straw I have. Among my finer weave Panama this one slips right in between the Muse and The Colonel in terms of weave. I’d like to work the brim some to see if I can get it to seat a little lower instead of curling even higher on top of the edge curl As you can see in the on head shots. I do believe though this one will be getting a lot of wear in the coming months. Thanks again Bob.

Yesterday's hats.

First, a modern Stetsonian in Tawny.

Later, a Knapp-Felt in black for a quick errand.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Super Barbisio arrived last night between wind and rain.

Practically immaculate, it is one of the hats I most enjoyed buying with the new year.

The size is 59 cm. or 7 3/8 US is actually a bit tight.

As always with the Barbisio produced before 1980 there are small gems.

This has a felt with a light fur of a remarkable softness. It is called on the paper label "Taupé", a French word meaning "long-haired felt". The color is "Argento" a classic combo with a medium gray and black ribbon

Have a nice day. Thanks for the like and compliments for your wonderful hats

Very nice, Steve. I like the fullness of the crown.
