What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[drmaxtejeda]

Outstanding hat! Since you asked, I think a black leather band would look sharp. Similar to hatophile's Stetson 15. Your hat kind of reminds me of my Drill Sgt. hat.

You were a drill sergeant? My uncle Don was. Tough guy. He was the last of my Mom's siblings to die, which seems miraculous, given his life story.

I am sure your uncle was rock steady. I wore this hat for 6 years of my 20.

Thanks Stefan. It has a few bug chews, but it did clean up pretty nicely.

Dang, I like that hat. Very unique look there.

That is a really beautiful velour on that one, Steve. A great shape to it, too. Great hat.

Thanks, Michael. That look is what drew me to it in the first place. It doesn't disappoint.

Good looking hat under any lighting, but you did give it the glamour shoot here. Exceptional!

Very nice, Perry. I like the colour of that one.

That really is a hat and a half, Jeff. Such presence and great colours too.

Janyška "Praga" possibly late 1930s / 1940s. This hat is from my May 2016 Czech find. Very unique hats to say the least.

Shop Size Tag with Janyška Logo (notice UK Sizing)

Unique and also very cool. Never see hats like that in any vintage hat source I know of.

Penney's Marathon today. This hat is determined to keep its own crease (a half hearted attempt to cross the center crease). Fine with me.

Nothing special today, just my brown Fed IV.

I love this hat - the overall shape: the brim swoop, the crease, the fit (like a custom).

Wait, did I say it was nothing special?

My Game Bird does that. I crease it (because it moves so easily, even when I don't want it to), put it on my head, and the middle of the center dent does its own thing. Then I push it back into place and be on my way.

Dropping by fast with my Vintage Silhouettes oxblood/copper topper. I’m aways amazed by the effects of the light on this felt!

Have the best day ever!!

Very cool VS. I do like that color combo. Enjoy.

Yesterday it rained profusely all day. It was time for the water to arrive on the Italian north-east

This morning the rain was less intense and so I decided to walk to my office

Barbisio in pale blue, probably made about thirty years ago from the Cappellificio Cervo

The felt level is good and the beautiful color is typical of Barbisio

On the bow is the inscription Barbisio which is not my taste, but then probably copying Borsalino, even in tacky, was a must.

It is one of my favorite hats to wear on rainy days due to its lightness and wearability.
Thanks for your appreciation. Good Friday!

When we get to see New England in The Fall, I'm going to relieve you of that fine lid. My Henley blazer goes well with a contrasting straw in summer, but your titfer, (cockney rhyming slang, titfer= tit for tat, hat,) would set my blazer off a treat.

 

[mayserwegener]

Ooooohhhh!! What a beautiful shade of blue! And a blue sweatband! And my size!! Grovel, grovel.

Max, Thank you! Fantastic Optimo "Barney" from you!

Stefan, Thank you! Super looking Penney's "Marathon" from you today. Great color contrasts!

Spartan yet stylin' wartime Kami. Size 56 from Garrett - my size 57 was offered for sale some time back to little interest. Perhaps too spartan, or too stylin'... ;^)

Thanks for sharing Alan. The fedora has jaw dropping heathered felt. The curled brim at the side really works well with the smaller brim size, IMO. Lovely.

Thanks Eric. The felt is at least part wool and perhaps all wool. All's fair in love and war...
