What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Knox Custom today for more Stingymas action.

Only a 2 inch brim but somehow it looks bigger.

Back into Stingymas with my Borsalino Anello. Sorry for the poor quality photo. The hat is a dark navy blue. The ribbon is black.

On the Sixth Day of StingyMas….

Deep blue Dobbs Twenty that came to me from @jlee562 a few years back. I’m of the belief this was once a much less stingy brim before being trimmed into quite a high end dreamy stingy with a very well done approximation to replicate its Guild Edge.

That is about the nicest baby blue I've seen, Eric.
Good morning. This mornings walkabout found me under the brim of a hat made by the Canadian Hat firm Wolthausen Hat Company. This 30-40's fedora has a stunning blue felt.

Cheers, Eric -

Thanks Bob. It looks like we chose the same or very close ribbon colors as well.
Looks fantastic Randy! I have Art's Glacier color #13 (of 13). The Art-Minto.

Brent @deadlyhandsome, Ken @Wyldkarma , @Robieman, @Joshua London and Doug @Tukwila have one. Who else?

You see, Gary, you need a black just like your SB to continue your western theme!

Looking good, young man.
A late start to Stingymas for me was followed by a two day break as first, my Fed IV (three days ago), then my Silverbelly Campdraft (the day before yesterday) saw some action. The Fed IV avoided the camera.

I look for a hat and I find others, such as a series of homburg or lobbia in the Italian name, sold in Sofia and built between the two wars
Mirtillo Sofia 3.jpg
Every now and then these "finds" from a distant era appear, almost always on the UK market, almost as if Sofia were a suburb of London
Mirtillo Sofia 8.jpg
Borsalino "Trionfo" size 6 1/2 or 60 centimeters or 7 1/2 in the USA.
The color of the felt is "Mirtillo" and the type of hat is "Mula", there is a wind cord although a little loose after the years

One of the homburgs or lobbia produced by Borsalino that I like most for its large and generous shapes

Thanks for your likes for the Vanzina disguised as an English hat.

You have given your Campdraft one heck of a good looking shape - not only the bash but also the brim work are really spot on. One of the nicest examples I’ve seen, especially coupled with that very attractive coat.
Thanks! I purchased the Campdraft and the Fed IV together and they were my first (and so far only) open crown purchases, so being my first attempt, I struggled a bit to get them how I wanted, especially the Fed IV. The Campdraft brim isn’t snapping down quite like it used to. It tends to pop back up once in a while.

Not sure I need another black hat. If I do end up with another black western, though, I’m hoping it’s going to be a Gambler.

Echet Mayser "Superbe" possibly early to mid 1950s. The felt is is very soft and the brim is less stiff so not like a typical Mayser Homburg. Interesting color and great Brim Curl. I found this Soft Felt back in 2019.

What a fantastic colour, Joe. The wide ribbon and its colour sets the whole hat off perfectly. Love it!

Superb is definitely an appropriate adjective here.

Toller Hut und Aschenbecher!

I don't use tobacco anymore but when I once did in Germany and we could still smoke indoors, those solid little ashtrays were in all the pubs (Kneipe). It's a fond memory.

I don't miss tobacco but somehow at the same time I do. I actually wonder if it might be why our culture is so cranky these days (or at least a contributing factor): western civ is suffering from collective nicotine withdrawal!
