What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[alanfgag]

A NYC source for good gear, name dropped in Guys and Dolls and by Cole Porter... I shopped there when I worked at the NY Public Library (it was across the street then). Closed in the 1980s.

Very nice, Alan. I can send over some pepper for that salted brim if you like

I went to Ignacio's today, and found @Just Daniel had left a surprise gift for me there.
It's a beautiful Borsalino Trionfo, with amazingly soft felt. Forget stars or Xes. If this felt were softer, it would disintegrate.

Wowwww! Muchísimas gracias, Daniel!!

I like that color combo, too, Bill. Rick is building me a dark brown hat and I'm still trying to decide on ribbon color. Copper is still in the running. For reference Rick, take a look!

I've sold 5 hats over the last few days so had to make a trip to the Post Office. Used that for an excuse for the wife and I to go out to dinner. Stetson Royal DeLuxe from the 40s got the nod today. Love this camel color felt and copper ribbon.

That stain line at brim breakover line is probably a $350 option feature of a Nick Fouquet hat. Don't tell Ignacio. Nice hat.

It's not really a stain line. Ignacio says it is where the felt was compressed by being bent at the break for several decades.
That is why, he says, it will tend to vanish over time.

I wish I had more photos of our 1966 VW with the peace sign on the back window. Got it for free with 80,000 miles, sold it for 800 with 160,000 miles. Here is a shot taken by the Buffalo News after our Blizzard of '77. I had driven to within a couple of blocks of home when it bottomed out on a snow bank. Dug it out all around and underneath the next day, leaving a four foot pillar of snow under each wheel... knocked them down one at a time, started it up and drove it home. What a great car that was.

I remember that blizzard very well! I was shoveling slush out of the gutter the night before so the water could flow into the sewer. It was unseasonably warm and I remember seeing lightening to the North that evening. The next morning when I woke up there was nothing but white! That picture looks just like what we saw.

VWs were all my dad drove. He swore by them! He also had a VW window van later on.

That could be read in more than one way...

Sheeesh! And I thought I was bad. [emoji2]

Thanks Garrett. Just teeny tiny flakes so far today, maybe some bigger stuff south of the city.

You’re giving me flashbacks, Terry. My brother had a ‘56 Nomad, same colors!

A '57 Nomad was one of my dream cars. Never had the chance to get one. But I did have a '57 Belair, though. This one had the original 265cid but it was pretty worn and it smoked. The guy I bought it from put a 283 cid in it and switched out the power glide for a Muncie 4spd. It was a weathered out two tone green when I first got it but a friend of mine who had a body shop painted it a black laquer for me. It took me two days to rub out the paint job by hand.

Hey all!
It has been very wet and very windy the last few days. Haven't felt much like going out in the lousy weather, let alone taking my tablet out in it to try to get pics.
The torrents have momentarily stopped falling out of the sky, so out I go in my Anton Peschel Dinkelsbühl for Disney Alpenhüte.

Have a great day!

Excellent hats the last few days gentlemen. Been a bit busy, so no time to post or comment. Here are the hats of yesterday and today:
Danubia (chamois)

Brummel's

Borsalino Caffe

 

[Bamaboots]

 

[Just Daniel]

It’s the Super Trionfo! I thought it would find a little corner in your collection. I am sure no one else has one

It looks great on you, all the best,
Daniel

I don't remember that one, Greg. I really like it.

Thanks, Jim. One of the longest owned, least worn. I've gotten away from classic styled, wide ribbon fedoras but I hang onto this one.

I didn't even know there were Borsalinos Super Trionfo.
@Daniele Tanto? Could you tell us a little about them?

I really like this hat. Is that a reddish ribbon I'm seeing?

It was nippy 15 degrees with a wind of 25 mph gusting to 37 mph when I went out to hoof around town this morning. This shearling lamb cap seemed like the best choice.

And it proved to be a good choice.
