What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

Hey all!
Homburgs seem to be the theme with me lately. This Tirard "Edka" was supposed to have been a bowler. Fruno made me buy it. Glad that it wasn't and that he did!

No subtle color undertones here..

Doesn't seem at all out of place atop a shirt with pineapples.
Have a great day!

A good homburg conquers all, John. Very nice (if a bit austere) Tirard.

Rainy day with cooler temperatures. So no straw today. Chose this Knox 5th Ave for errands and a dinner date.

Fantastic, Bill. Seems to colour well with the horse on the right!

Most likely German but no company marks. The construction methods are primitive so possibly a local hatter. The black Fur Felt is tissue thin and will change form with just a slight touch. Difficult to date but I think it could be old. I can't remember when I found this one but luckily it appeared to me today so I decided to wear it.

I like it, Steve. These mystery hats are nice to find and this one has redeeming qualities for sure.

Over the weekend - English lid - Dulcis. Not in the best state - light moth tracking but all part of the charm in my eyes. Possibly pre-war but always hard to pinpoint accurately. View attachment 182180 View attachment 182181 View attachment 182182

I've seen this brand from time to time. Well made hats from what I've seen and I like their styling. Excellent hat.

Still hot summer in the netherlands, so i'm wearing the Northwest panama brisa weave grade 5. Made by Mike Miller. Little detail: my initials MP, printed in the leather sweatband. Lovely hat for the hot summer. View attachment 182186 View attachment 182187 View attachment 182188 View attachment 182189 View attachment 182190 View attachment 182191 View attachment 182192

Very nice looking panama, Marcel.

Last time I did that I almost got arrested. [emoji1]

Max, I have to ask then what you were doing with a hat that provoked an arrest able action. Oh no you didn't! ..... bet it was that cute fuzzy one too.

Happy WAR Wednesday. This Resistol features a nice wide one with a back bow. Cool liner, too.

I just told Ana we've got to to to Holland one day. Que viva Holanda!

Let us know when, Max: we'll hide the hats!

I had a Dutch girlfriend for four years, and spent a lot of time with her and her family. I learned to love Holland, even though I've never been there. I even learned a little Dutch, which I've mostly forgotten. All I remember now is mooi, groen, and lelijk.

I spent over a month in Spain this year, so maybe next, I'll go to Holland.

groen and lelijk: couldn't have said it better myself!

Where do you keep The Picture, Dorian?

Haha, Max... A good reference to the classics and to current events too. I am certainly more wizened and definitely more Gray. But thank you for that.

Welcome aboard, Marcel!
I, too, have planned to visit your beautiful land ever since my childhood. I want to put a finger in a dike!

You can practice at home: start with a flowerpot! In Spaarndam, near Haarlem, they've actually erected a statue of Hans Brinker, who is completely fictional (and has nothing to do with Spaarndam in any way in the book).

Anything to draw in tourists!

I'll go with Jim's take on a Wednesday. Resistol Caronia WAR Back bow.

Have a good one,

Very nice, Michael. I've always wondered why these very wide ribbon hats are always backbows though.

My Optimo Public Enemies today. Depp has nothing on me, except maybe money, fame, good looks, talent, and women. Hmmm.

I dunno, Doc. I think you have most of that list covered too.

I posted more pics and info in the New Hat section. The felt is superb. Soft, rich, and velvety.

Stevens Panama. Brim’s a bit wonky, but so am I.

Nice one, Bob. Did it always have a thin ribbon? The weave on the lower part of the crown seems to suggest it once had a pug or wider ribbon.

I'll smile for you if the old ivories aren't up to the task right now, Steve. That homburg deserves an appreciative smile.

Thanks, Stefan [emoji4]. I hope the twinkle in my eyes showed my appreciation [emoji6]

Nice, max. Depp seems to be losing all of those things in a hurry: you're gaining territory on him!
