What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[StoryPNW]

On the Eleventh Day of StingyMas…

The final day of Stingymas is here and I just couldn’t decide between these two hats from Willoughby Hatters of France. So why not bring both!

The first is the Consul I a super soft and fuzzy black stingy. Soft as a blanket.

The second a bit more structured green Heather….this one slightly at the long end of Stingy at 2 1/8

There we’re more Stingies that didn’t make it to StingyMas this year… but that’s ok.. because the real spirit of StingyMas is that these great hats can get worn more than on just these eleven magical days.


Thank you to all who joined in on the Stingy fun and thanks to those who watched along.

Happy Festivus.. I trust you’ve aired your grievances and had your tests of strength

Joe, that heather green is something else, very nice!

I haven't particularly shared in Stingymas this year but I've enjoyed the festivities.

Great hat, Brent. And quilt.

Holy mackerel, happy birthday to pops!

Thanks, Alan!
He’ll be just as happy to hear good wishes from across the NY harbor, too!

Yesterday we talked about the very interesting research work carried out by Stefan regarding the brands of Italian hatters in their long history.

Let's celebrate early this morning with a Strà Barbisio. Size 60, equivalent to a 7 1/2 in the US.

Light felt hat, "Bolivia" color with pleated bow in the usual craftsmanship of Barbisio production.

It is the second in the series dedicated to stingy Italians for Christmas and special holidays

Thanks for your likes for the "Bismuto" colored Charles Hatters and have a nice day on Christmas Eve

It's tough being the best dressed man at the mall, but somebody has to do it! That is one fine looking hat, young man.

Please forgive the lack of an action shot of me leaping. Taking selfies in the grocery store parking lot inconspicuously is hard enough. Lords a leaping is out of the question.

Now, time to go polish and erect my pole...





FOR FESTIVUS!

I love the way the final product turned out, Brent.

Another Borsalino for the last day of StingyMas. Well that went by quickly.

Glad to see you out and about again, Steve. The stingy works well worn like that.

5 inch crown
2 1/2 inch bound brim
2 inch sweat with protector

The liner has some staining, but otherwise a clean lid.

We prefer to call it "patina" instead of "staining". Nice hat.

My new Lee Forty. Looks like it was made yesterday.

That's a mighty looking hat, Mike.

Hey all!
First, this Berteil for the season.

Have to give it the Marathon. Easy win really.

Good to see that one being worn once more.

Great series of stingies, Joe. What better way than to close it off with a few Willoughbys (not many of us can say that they have a few of those).

At 90 who's counting? Happy birthday to your dad, Randall. He likely never would have thought his son would be a hatter!

Fantastic hat, Daniele, but the compliments must also go out to the seamstresses at the factory who did that unsurpassable bow work.

Akubra Cattleman. My regular barbecue hat for Christmas Eve burgers on the grill.

 

[DonR]

Got this the other day. Never heard of the brand Andrei. Debating whether to keep it. It fists well, has a 2 1/8 bound brim. Union label under the sweat. Nothing really special about it.

Except that it's a very nice looking hat.

 

[Rmccamey]

I agree with Stafan. It looks great and the wind trolley sets it off nicely. If you want a change, might I recommend spending just a few dollars on a deep burgundy ribbon, or maybe a silver. Gannon also has a purple/grey ribbon (I think it is called Commando) that would give it a nice look.

Very fine looking hat, Brent.

Thanks Stefan!
The Marathon is a wonderful hat.
The Berteil, however, is a dual duty holiday hat. It works not only for Stingymas, but at 97 grams also fits the bill for Slim-Brimmukah, the Festival of Lightweights!
