What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Daniele Tanto]

Day with the sun and extreme temperature range

Tirard Ragondia in black, size 6 1/2 (French sistem) or 7 1/2 US

"Impermeable" with a "peachy felt finish and very soft. Bounded brim

It is a hat from the early fifties or late forties as Tirard was the first to close (1956) of the great French historical producers

I'm lucky with the French hats in black, one of my favorite colors, less with the Italian ones

Buon giovedì a tutti
Many thanks for the yesterdays likes on the "Misto" Borsalino

Just a diamond crease and a couple years of handling.

Ah, the good old fashioned way. I like it!

Gotcha. It makes me want to find other hats with wide flattish brims (with or without the curl) and yet uncreased crowns. What is the period, exactly? And if I may ask, which two hats were those you posted as examples?

I think of these as 1920's - 1930's Western dress hats. Dress Westerns were starting to get fedora-like. You need a 3" brim, a 3x6 body in a Block #664 (666?) or #52 will work, I think. A 2-1/2" or 2-3/4" brimmed Open Road will not look right.

Mine are customs. The natural is a Gannon, the blue Heather is a BSHW.

Thanks for the comments and "likes" on my hat posting the past couple of days. Grand hat parade from all posters.


"Captain Obvious," our local weatherman, warned us that we are experiencing a snow fall with additional measurable snow fall coming thru the day. Let it snow!

This morning I was removing snow in a vintage Lee Commentator. Excellent hat even with a dusting of snow.

Best wishes, Eric -

The storm is moving out. It has to because another one has an appointment to see us Saturday. Wearing a Knox Westlite Open Road clone, not very good for shoveling snow.

The beret has you well stead-ed to fight off the cold. Stay warm and safe.

You have had large quanities of snow rolling in of late. Ski areas are pleased, while driveways are not. After the snow fall the temps drop - stay warm and safe.

Too cold. Storms again with high winds. Calls for a stiff baron bowler.

Solid work today. Working cattle this morning in my trusty Resistol straw, hauling cattle to the sale in a modern 6X Open Road. Overcast and blustery weather here in central Texas today. Current temp is 36F.

Love the Natural felt

Go get 'em, Doug. I have one of those tomorrow morning, myself.

But today, you've seen one before and you'll see one again. BGGCD after going to lunch in a downpour.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Good luck with your interview as well Jim! Nice wet hat...

Greetings All:
Today....it’s a fuzzy i’ve ignored. Last seen under @splintercellsz tutelage. Presents as old and gold.

Not usually my cup of tea but if it had more brim i’d wear the hell out of it!
Be well. Bowen
