What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[drmaxtejeda]

Lookin' great, Max!!

You may already know this, but if not, and you didn't think you'd learn anything new today, here goes...
Probably not an issue for you or you or you would have already noticed on other hats, but the sweatband looks like it may be one of those that some folks are allergic to, with traces of di-chromate. If you test as described HERE, you may detect that content, indicating a lesser quality material. Most hatters aren't aware of it any more, but you can specify vegetable-tanned roan leather, which is more appropriate for a man like you anyway!!

Are we betting on this?!

Thank you, Charlie! I have several @bond sweats, but I didn't think this hat was worth one of them, so I used one from the hatter's supply Co. in Colorado.

It may be an unknown brand, but it's a great looking hat. Worn with panache, Fabio.

To be honest I mostly wore a wolly hat today, but met a friend for a beer just there in this. Forgive the lighting. Grey stubby borsalino, really unusual hat, lined in purple satin, so satin sweat, felt like clay. View attachment 154058 View attachment 154059 View attachment 154060 View attachment 154061

Have seen those before, but don't own one of those. I wonder why Borsalino made a hat with a satin sweat. Good looking hat though.

Royal Luxury Wormser. It was a Goodwill find. The sweat was demolished, and the felt looked pretty bad, but for the price, I decided to buy it and take it to Ignacio.
He did a pretty good job.

Good for several more years of service. Nice save.

Sergej's mother did a good job! And you have the appropiate weather for it.

Indeed, I like the color combo and the crease.

Lotsa brim. I like that.

That's my favorite color. The stitching really blends well. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see your smiling face, Dennis!!

How's the colony growing?

The Legislature is in session, and I’m at the State Capitol in a business-like Northwest Hat.

The hat looks like it could take some snow, Michael. But better be on the safe side (and stay indoors).

I'm sure it could take plenty of snow, in fact it has in the past. But even though it is a tight fitting hat it has trouble with 25 mph winds.

Great looking hat, Alan. Gotta love some fur in this weather.

I did a bit of walking and bus riding today under the sheepskin cap.

That and the Moncler down jacket kept my plenty warm today.

Might try a different combo tomorrow morning when the wind chill is supposed to be around -55. Fun times.
