Gorgeous hat Daniele. Is that wisteria behind you?

This is the wisteria. It was planted around 1910 at the corner of the house

Good to see you in the hat forum. The Campdraft looks great.

State exams today and tomorrow which means, for me, jacket and tie (and waistcoat) just because I want to.

And with that ensemble, and the trench coat, the brown Gledhill's works very well, both colorwise and dimensionally.

Beautiful. We have some in our back yard. Won't bloom for at least a couple more months.

Extraordinarily beautiful old wisteria. We planted three tiny stalks in our backyard the year we bought our house (more than 30 years ago) and I built a pergola to support it the next summer. It is not this massive, but the trunks which were the diameter of my little finder are now larger than my leg. It didn't bloom for the first 11 years and then Donna read somewhere to root prune with a spade close to the base. It seemed like rough treatment, but it was effective and we've had blooms ever since - rarely as lush as this display, but always a highlight of our spring garden joy. Thanks for sharing Daniele.

I've never been successful in adding to the Top Ten Hats thread, but if I were to pick a single favorite hat it might be this Borsalino thin ribbon. The color "monlov" which seems to defy translation, matches nothing and goes with everything. Perhaps it means "my love"? The felt is superb - light, finely finished with a crumple that makes it a pleasure to form. But mostly, it just suits me and I feel wonderful wearing it every time I put it on... the mark of a great hat, no?

lastly a comparison shot with another Borsalino Ludoela of a similar era to show the monlov hue.

Best of luck on the exams, Scotty. Not that you'll need luck... with all you know, and that lid, it'll be a slapdown!

Thanks, Charlie. I have more time on my hands now, so I plan to be here as much as possible!

Another great hat, and shoes Eric. Really the whole outfit is top-drawer.

Biltmore Peluche looking for some of Mike’s church ladies...is a 35 year old heiress too much to ask for?

Can't hurt to ask (as long as your wife doesn't hear you). Lovely hat, Brent.

Borsalino Lontra this morning for services. I acquired this from @alanfgag.

As long as I don't have one for myself, I'm going to be jealous of that one, Bill.

Out and about this morning in a thick mackinaw that is fighting off the cold temps. A vtg. Stetson Royal De Luxe Regis Homburg in a navy added color to the cool morning and light white snowy ground cover.

Best, Eric -

Good to see you around in homburgs some more, Eric. You wear all your hats well and the homburgs are no exception.
