What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Retired or not. Sure looks like he‘s got some life left to live!
I thought so too, so I took him on a trip to Australia and Malaysia. We actually got caught by COVID and couldn't get back home for over a year. He was doing great but at the very end of that time he went downhill rapidly. The liner started discoloring and the brim started sagging; the sweatband was obviously about to rot and crack. SE Asia is just really hard on hats and I never intended to have him over there for 1.5 years..

Since we've been back, I haven't wanted to push him hard and my collection grew in size so much that I have lots of other great hats to wear.

Here are a few photos with him from that time period.

From the road, just before I left, June 2019:

With my sister, just before I left (although this one might be a Stetson 20 - they are hard to tell apart):

I didn't get many photos of that trip since most of it was spent in lockdown, but he got a lot of wear indoors.

Been wearing these two a lot lately. Circa 1980 OR and a Stetsonian. Not sure how I end of lucky like this but the Stetsonian has just over a 2 3/4 brim!!:D
(I have a few modern Stetsons with a wider than advertised brim.)

Sometimes, like today, the sunshine comes and goes, just not long enough for a straw hat. The narrow hatband compliments this exquisite titfer perfectly. (Titfer? Rhyming slang again. Tit for Tat.....Hat.)

My Stetson Sovereign just doesn't give the kind of 'lift' to a blazer that your's would. Think I need to go shopping.

A beautiful color combination and love the backgrounds
Thanks Joe. The background is the house of the family of Monica, my life partner.

Villa bassani-2.jpg
It was built between 1907 and 1912 (as in this picture) designed by the architect Ettore Fagiuoli. Here a link.https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ettore_Fagiuoli
Now the house is covered by a giant wisteria
Oh, that's a STUNNER!!!!
Thanks a lot Mark
Molto bello, Daniele. More than slightly special I'd say!
I agree Stefan, even if the "special" quality of Borsalino are often a thrill :)
