I was wearing a Stetson Bowler this morning but this new to me Salmagundi is on my head this afternoon.

Earlier in the day, a Borsalino thin ribbon.

And a nice, well worn Dalton for a grocery run later.

Very nice, Jim. We don't see you in a Borsalino that often.

Superb hat, Perry.
Ca. 1940s wide ribboned, unlined Borsalino from Sools of Paris.

Ah, yes. I remember that one all too well. Looking good in it, Steve.

Stetson 4X Beaver Big Piney:

5” brim provides shade while our highs are still in the mid 90s. I don’t recall it ever being so hot this close to October.
A lot of bunnies kicked the bucked to create that amount of real estate, Brent. It was for a good cause though.

Excellent Quality Stratoliner in sage green this fine Tuesday.

Excellent, Reggie.

Mid-day meeting and back to work in a Stetson Open Road. Love this caramel, or tan hued OR.

Borsalino in grey, no indications of color and model. It is a recente production of the Eighties.

As most of the "new" production it is a "Qualità Superiore" a sort of mantra in the Borsalino production of the last forty years

It came from Merano so a "Matthias Hutter" hat. It is pleasant and a sort of "classic" Borsalino in color and shape.

Many thanks for your likes and appreciations.
My compliments to you all daily wearer of wonderful hats
Nice classic look, Daniele.

Really like that bowler, Gary. Makes a statement.

I’m not usually a fan of self-felt hat bands, but this is a hat I’d make an exception for. I truly like everything about this hat.
You know I never entertained the concept or even thought about the differences between self felt hat bands vs. ribbons, so now you have got me thinking: however, Jim’s Game Bird is pretty sweet. It has a smooth dress casual look. Dobbs during that era made some pretty cool hats.

90% of the time I agree with you, but I have a couple that seem to pull it off real well.

Thank you, Reggie. It's a real softie, too.

I started off of the same mind.. but after having Dobbs Gay Prince in hand, I changed my mind. Jim’s game bird continues to show how well this look can work.

Kind of a mini Whippet—Royal Stetson, I’m guessing late 50s or early 60s when dimensions were starting to shrink. The brim is 2 3/8 and it was factory creased—I’ve steamed the pinch to be a little taller and narrower. Great hat to wear with a suit, with a nice snappy look. Other than some liner foxing, just about like new.

Cheers,

David
