What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Joao Encarnado]

On this day in years past...

Clear Nutria... oh yeah!

If Charlie can post a photo without his smirk then the normal laws of the universe don’t apply today. Stingy. Straw. Brim up. Not my normal hat, but it wanted to be worn on this balmy day (were going to hit 70 later this afternoon).

You're holding up as good as your hats Alan!

You're holding up as good as your hats Alan!

Kind and generous thought... thank you. It is sweet and somewhat painful to look back through ten years of contributions to this thread.

When the page refreshed, I thought I had come to a picture of star trails...

That's due to lack of members. [emoji2]

A small but proud nation, Max.
We may need to reconsider our policy in this though and put a balloting commission in place

O'Farrell.

Oustanding brim curve on that one, Bob.

Stetson twenty five. Tried to mess with the crease but I didn’t like how much the former crease marks showed so I’m leaving it with the soft center dent for now.

Managed to get my son to crack a smile on the way to school.

Wow, that is some hat, Jeff. That would make me smile too.

Fantastic St Regis! Great shape and colour.

More voluptuous velour today...

I realize I've been mispronouncing the maker as I say it silently to myself... Hückel rhymes with Kukla, in Kukla, Fran and Ollie, not Jekyll as in Jekyll and Hyde.

That hat demands a standing ovation. One of your best, Alan (and that is saying something!).

Hückel Weilheim "Chevreau" mid 1950s.

Great colour and very cool ribbon, Steve. No need to sing the praise of the finish, which I know is superb.

Have a good one,

Aaaah, needed a dose of that one again. Wonderful, Michael.

Thanks! I (I think we all do) get so many rewards from Steve's posts and photos that I've been content to have relatively few German/Austrian hats of my own. But every once in a while an opportunity comes along...

S. J. Fraenkel Wien "Extra Qualität" possibly later 1930s early 1940s. This probably would have been considered a Soleil Velour.

A Mayser homburg for a day with a foggy sun

This was one of the various exchange with Stefan in Netherlands

Thick felt and very well matched the steel grey with ribbon and curled brim in a more clear grey, almost silver

I like the more "square" shape then some more "rounded" homburg

This is my contribution to the "homburg nation" not so much haunted in these days

Thanks to Stefan I wear this so particular homburg for the italian standards
Have a nice day!
Thanks a lot for likes and appreciations

Love the colours on this one, Daniele. Good proportions it has too. Glad to have found it such a good home.

A stellar parade of exemplary hats, Alan.

A great hat, whatever the designation, Steve.

Two hat day. First the T&W Lees heather again.

Snyder's homburg

Stefan, Thank you! Fantastic duo with your T&W Lees Heather and Snyder's Homburg! We don't see enough English Hat Companies so much appreciated!

 

[mayserwegener]

WOW......I really really like BOTH of these!!!!!! WOW, show stoppers for sure!!!!

Mark, Thank you!
