What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

The week in hats. Let's go.

Stetson Severn

Mossant Castor Hudson

Mossant Bayard Bleu Oxford

Sools

Blum velour (with some snowflakes)

Dunn&Co velour

Knox Westlite

Morreton Chamois (which needs a brushing and cleaning it seems)

 

[GHT]

Your comment, Stefan, about brushing and cleaning the Morreton Chamois, resonated with me for I have similar marks on the brim of my Stetson Sovereign. How it got there is a mystery, is it safe to brush it with a stiff bristled brush? It seems impervious to an ordinary clothes brush.



Another fabulous collection and as always a very difficult choice, but I am sold on the Knox Westlite, teamed up with that beautiful camel coat, it is just fabulous.

You've inspired me to go with a similar colour. Shame on me I haven't got dressed yet, the morning already gone. But I have been busy and shortly I shall once more be among the throng of shoppers, getting something that Tina wants. This will be today's lid, a bespoke model made by Gable & Gunn.

Thank you, Robert. I think the spots orginate from the hat getting wet at some point in time. I did and do use a hard bristle brush or suede brush from time to time on my hats, especially the chamois and velour ones, to no ill effect. The coat is lighter in colour than camel and made by Corneliani. Lovely coat, but I feel it only works well when the sun is out. Really like the shape of that Gable & Gunn hat; classic!

Stetson Sovereign and a Stetson open road!

Stetson Severn

Today Sunday December 11th no one first and not even one last.
The choice of hats is so interesting that they are all on the same level

Rockel "Wildleder" possibly late 1960s and a recent arrival.

Looks good on you, Steve

What a parade!!! The first three tremendous. What an unusual styling for Stetson. And BOTH Mossants…. Wow!

Sunday was a work day for me this week with four students in an English speech contest. I decided to go for a special hat to support them. A Dobbs Homburg in Navy with purple trimmings that came to me from Brent @deadlyhandsome.

It did the trick. After a third place two years ago, and a second last year, we finally got the win!

Thank you, Joe. To be fair, the Stetson ribbon was a replacement for a horrendous macramé one.

With the support of a hat like that it was impossible to lose! Excellent, Gary.

Especially love the French hats, Stefan.

I have to say though, I'm most in awe that you have a Corneliani overcoat. Wow!

Haven't posted in this forum before... an Open Road Stetson that I bought new Haven't posted in this forum before... an Open Road Stetson that I bought new in Australia in the '80s. I was working there on a contract from UK and bought this along with a Drizabone riding coat. They are still wearing well 40 years on. Picture here though is with my '40s Harrod's teddy bear coat, it's cold in London today in Australia in the '80s.

The hat and coat are a perfect pair! Forty years strong.

 

[Who?]

I wish I had bought one of those coats many years ago, but I didn’t, alas.

Too late now, since I seldom have reason to go outside in nasty weather these days.

A Drizabone coat, and an Akubra Territory sounds like an unbeatable combination.

At least I have the hat.

Stepping out tonight in this American classic. MacLachlan Beaver 15. Even the moth nibbles don’t diminish this felted edge beauty (that much anyway).

The 2 7/8 brim is slightly over my comfort zone for a dress hat. Brim up maybe give it a different feel

Wow! Beautiful fedora, Joe.
