What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Hey all!
The filtered sunlight helps bring out the green undertones of this circa turn-of-the-millenium Borsalino Como, my first nice fur felt. At 81g and $3 to the thrift store it is my lightest felt, not only on the head but also on the wallet.

Have a great day!

Nice thrift store find, Moe. I'd offer you thrice as much, but I think that Borsalino was made for you.

Good to see you back and sharing [emoji4]

Wish I was wearing that one too, Garrett. Fantastic bronze colour and ribbon / bow combo.

I bought this hat back in the 80's. My original boot scootin', shit kickin' cowboy hat. Milano 10X. Dug it out and took it to Nathaniels in Georgetown for a new sweatband, cleaning, and reblock. Went from an old time cattleman crease to a new mini-gus and went from a raw edge to having a new black thin ribbon around the brim. He found a cool leather and brass concho hatband to finish it off. He works magic with felt. Love this "new" look on a 30+ yr old hat. Looks brand new and fits better than ever sized with his conformer.

Late afternoon I was out in my Cordova cap. Last outside shenanigans before cleaning up to go out for the evening.

Best, Eric -

HOW DO YOU TAKE THE PICTURE WITH YOUR PHONE IN YOUR POCKETSES?!!!?

Magic.
And my tablet.
I can barely see my phone to call people with it, let alone take and post pics.
Nice Smeagol, btw.

Thanks Steve!
It might not have been made FOR me, but it has been the recipient (or victim?) of much reshaping and reforming of the crown and brim by me, so it's almost like a custom...

Garrett; Your deck and sink are chuck full of gorgeous hats. Thanks for sharing. I can not wait for the next installment of Garrett's deck and sink.

I love green, I adore wide ribbons, I have a penchant for back bows, and my heart will always belong to Battersby Hats of Manchester.

Therefore, this 1940s model was a must for this evenings walk around the coast of Elsinore.

The liner is not stitched nor glued, but just loosely fitted.

Oh my! That is one of the widest ribbons I’ve seen. It’s not something I’d want on all my hats, but it looks great on your green Battersby! Most excellent.

I share your preferences for tall crowns. I really admire your hats.

Insomnia for the second night in a row. Unusual for me, but what a great opportunity to post the Stetson mode edge I wore today (yesterday) even though I hardly left the house.
I could get used to finding vintage fedoras like this one.

Thanks, Brent. It is truly wide, but as you say, it suits this particular Battersby.

That is very nice, Jeff. Super find.

Hope you get some sleep tonight.

The Warner Brothers Bugs Bunny pin is bad**s!
Ps: you should post that jacket in the leather jacket threads.

I worked for Warner Bros. Film Germany from 1991 - 2002; the other pin on the Hein-Gericke jacket is from the movie "Delinquents".

Great look, Steinbockhase, but here in the urban US where those originated it is called a “Durag.”
Pronounced “DOO-rag”.

You ROCK it, too, my friend!!

Thx for that info ... hadn't heard of Durag before

Somber morning in Funkytown today. I figured a black hat was apropos. A good day to attend mass.

Y'all take care of each other, now.

So sorry. All of this so tragic and needless.

Somber day, indeed. Thoughts and prayers to you and yours in your home state, Jim. The same to those in El Paso this morning.
