What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

Cavanagh Thirty Five. 2 1/2 inch brim. Just got it yesterday. I know this is a rather late vintage Cavanagh, but this particular fedora doesn't have to apologize to anyone.

And why should it! Fabulous

I seem to have been in a Borsalino mood this last week. Today was no different.

Hard to capture the subtle mirtillo colour of this Lobbia in the grey light of today's weather.

Nice hat. Interesting how dampened skies can mute the colors of certain felts.

Another wonderful Agnoulita, Brent.

Many things have been said about Mr. P, but he sure is versatile range wise.

Thank you!

Thanks, Bro!
An answer to your question might be; someone who really hates cool, lightweight, light blue, nicely proportioned Stetson fedoras?

Thanks, Steve. I took a long break but I’ve ordered four hats from him in the last 12 months. One day I hope to go to Greece and meet him.

That is one wonderful wish, Brent.

Maybe you can get @PanosChris to meet you there.

Panos is, or was recently, working in the San Francisco area. I miss seeing him contributing here more frequently.

Really sharp looking hat, Randall. Great shape.

Looks great on you, Steve.

I tried my hand at pouncing today. I have two Hufvuds I hardly ever wear because I dislike the texture, so I gave it a go. Pounced them both to a 1200 grit.
The first is a green Ragnar in rabbit.
Before and after pics.
They feel much better.

Nice, Max. These must have been from the early days of Mikael’s hat making. The rough finish and the petersham ribbon is not indicative of his current hats. The finish definitely looks better after your pouncing.
