What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[GHT]

Yesterday afternoon a fawn hued Stetson Royal DeLuxe Open Road was my brim for hijinks.

For this mornings escapades I was under the brim of a Stetson Playboy.

Cheers, Eric -

A great selection as ever Eric, what a great collection you have. I could be forgiven for the sin of covet.


One of Stefan's: "A week in hats," choice inspired today's hat, not that I'm green with envy........much!

Full sun Sunday and out of the ordinary heat.
Autumn seems to have forgotten that it is the season of rain and fog.

I had prepared this hat for some time, but the gray day, to be in tone on tone, is hard to arrive and so here it is
View attachment 459438
Panizza Marca Oro size is 60 cm. so a 7 1/2 and the color of the felt is "Lapis" while the ribbon is color is still "Lapis"
A perfect tone on tone

The ORO Panizza line was a top of the range in the fifties of which the hat has the shapes and proportions.
Never used, it is a leftover from stock which, however, has fueled the travels of moths

I want to expressly thank all those who have appreciated my hats of the last few days.
Have a nice Sunday

The moths should have paid more respect for such a fine hat, Daniele.

Primo senza rivali!

Barbisio can make me wear a green hat; go figure! Grazie, Daniele.

Thank you Stefan. What a week from you this time around. Each time a scroll down I think I’ve seen the best. All fantastic. Leica is cool also for the camera connection

Thanks, Steve.

This vintage Borsalino is one of my favorite fall hats. Love the color for this season. I just need some pumpkin pie or sweet potato casserole and I'll be all set.

Great colour and wonderful looking felt as well, Bill.

Back to the home state of Florida for the last stop on our tour. A visit to the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World.… wearing a Whippet

Of course I had to stop and see my personal hatter

I was kind of amused at this display of Disney Hats hat boxes in a store window of Main Street USA knowing full well there is so connection of Walt Disney World to Disney Hats of New York other than the name. I’m kind of curious if the person who created the display ignored the fact or was oblivious to it. Cool display and amusing none the less.

I like the envious look the mad hatter has: he knows his business!

Glad you like it, Brent. Happy to guide some stray hats to a welcoming home

What was supposed to be a normal work day has turned into an impromptu road trip to go see my grandfather in the hospital. The Stetson Weekender, sage green with a 2 1/2" brim, is honestly nothing exceptional and I was going to pass it along but it may end up making its way into the work hat rotation. I do like the sage color. I believe this model is no longer in production, they make a similar hat but it is now wool not fur felt like this one.

Edit: just saw the label and it is moss colored not sage, close but no cigar.

Yeah I agree that’s a good color, and a cool band too. Wishing the best for your grandfather.

Thank you, me too!

You can't go home now, Joe. I'm loving your tour of the USA holiday photos.

A no-name hat that can be worn up or down.


It has some nice features. The best being the Stefan Steur hat liner. I'm all ready for Halloween

I just now noticed this thread reached 3,000 pages. That’s impressive and cool.

Yep. 60,000 posts and that was after they reset it a few years back. This thread, and the hat forum in general, used to have a lot more contributors and a lot more posts per day. It’s slowed do a lot over the last few years.

VS form a Borsalino donor hat:

 

[mayserwegener]

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible" "Rauh" possibly mid to later 1930s. This is the only "Rauh / Rough" JHS I have encountered. The finish and mélange are more visible in the Sweatband photos.

KMK, Hat From Professional Enterprise/Plant

It may be that autumn is late in coming or Steve's visit, but I felt like digging up some velour hats that had been hiding for too long

Ecuyer & Thomas in black velour size 59 or 7 3/8 in the Usa.
It is one of the few hats in my possession with a velour finish that comes from France

The quality is specified by a cursive ink writing on the paper label, but I cannot decipher it.
The felt is light and the finish slightly different from that of hats produced in Central Europe. It is less thick and lighter.

A hat that is proof of the quality of Ecuyer & Thomas, subcontractors for many French producers, who when they rarely produced under their own brand were superlatives

Good day everyone and congratulations on your hats

Thank you Steve. I didn’t want it to end either. Gotta go through my photos an get together fedoras afield or photography posts.

Royal Stetson waiting for a lunch sales appointment to arrive. These hats are great for letting people find me easily in a restaurant. I just tell them to look for the guy in the hat. They find me every time.

Celebrated my 4-yr anniversary on the Lounge in style with my latest, a Stetson One-Hundred:

 

[mayserwegener]

C. G. Wilke "Flamand" possibly late 1920s early 1930s. This is a unique one with massive Brim Flange. Flamand is a unshorn Velour but in this case also a Mélange.

Hat Factory C. G. Wilke, Guben advertisement from "Fabrikation von Damen- und Herren- Filzhüten, Der Deustchen Hutmacher Zeitung (1933)".

The Wilke Hat has no Dark Side, but still in the Shadow, you can see the Wilke Hat"

Truly wonderful, Steve. How's the felt?
