What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Hagwood]

I love Akubras, have never got any issues and have more than 20 Akubras.

I really like the Banjo, overall a great hat, more city style, shorter brim than the CP, great traveler hat, the quality is the best that Akubra has "The Heritage Collection" .

The only issue with the banjo is with the shades, I have one in Heritage Fswn and one in Graphite Grey, love the Fawn one, but somehow I found the Graphite to lack personality, it's like a stained black shade, like real wood charcoal.

But that's just me, most people like the Graphite, I tend to like dark colors that have more deep on them.

You won't be disappointed, may I suggest you try Sam at Everything Australian or the girls at The Hattery, both have outstanding customer service.

Regards.

Rodolfo

Thanks for the info. I have a Hemp Balmoral, but no felt Akubras yet. I like the fawn and would probably go with that. I wish they had the BGG or Moonstone in it. I bought my Balmoral from Everything Australian and would definitely use them again.

Thanks.

Nice hat, Brent! You also look like you were out late. Christmass cheer!

Thank you, Stefan. I don’t believe you have such a limited social calendar. From the looks of that fabulous party picture you posted last night it’s obvious you mingle with the posh crowd. Wonderful hat display as well.

Thank you, Reggie. It'll please them to know that they're considered posh.

Looking very dapper for your night out Stefan

Best,

Thank you, Joe.

A rare Berteil Stefan and in nutria. Outstanding!!
I didn’t realize Borsalino made Berteils after G. Borsalino left Berteil to begin his own brand. Interesting. Any feel for how long this went on? Berteil info is so hard to find.

Thank you, Bowen. Longer that you'd think. This one was made in 1980 (which was a surprise to me). Here are the insides.

Super hat, super outfit. Hope you had a good time.

Your welcome.

No, I've had it for a year or two. I guess I don't bring out black hats that often.

Very nice collection. Super party look with the melone.

Thanks Reggie. I don't really have any info on it other than what's on the tag. And that says it's Canadian Suede finish. It was made in Canada, but is of fairly recent vintage I think. I might guess, and it's only a guess, that it was made in the 90s.

Thanks all,
Michael

Thank you, Michael.

Love it !! I would leave it on too.....

Thanks, Tim.

Sometimes it's grey, some times it's taupe and some times it's olive.

Still a ways to go, but it's getting closer.

The tip tag is showing some wear, but says Quality Extra Superior. The paper label says Carla, Elefante, Bacosan. At least that's what I think it says.

Whatever it is: it's the bees knees for certain, Michael. Carla is a known Borsalino colour and Bacosan is a known model, so that sounds about right.

Thought we were all done with the shopping, both food and gifts, and was planning on a nice relaxing day today working on some hats....
But no, the wife ran out of flour and sugar with all her baking so I have to brave the crowds. Taking the Portis Silver Beaver with me.

Your enthousiasm shows! At least you have a fine hat to console you.

My first time wearing my Young's Senator today. Brushed it, lint-rollered it, brushed it again, and steamed it. It shines!
Bought it from Will Moul.

+1 on what Rodolfo said.

I just a got a few (campdrafts) and I love them. Unless a color is available only in the heritage line I would not hesitate to go for standard grade, minor differences IMO. I have some more on the way (CD and Fediv) and I am seriously considering a woomera (not sure if I can pull that off though )

Good the see that they made it across, Mark. And in time for Christmas too. Your postal services do a better job than the ones over here. The Mayser is a remarkable colour; a mindbender if you're colourblind like I am.

It is a strange winter, at night it rains so much that the rivers have swelled a lot, during the day the sun comes up for a few hours and the temperature it is not so cold

In the box of heather felt lot there are also short brims like this

Barbisio Extra Quality size 60 or 7 1/2 US Made in the historica factory of Sagliano Micca

The color of the felt is "Misto Cenere" with the "Ratiné" finish

It came new with others from a closed shop in Genoa, it is a pity that most of the hats have more or less moths traces

Have a nice Monday!
Thanks a lot for your likes of the passed week

Beautiful hat! Enjoy it. That's a brand that I will like to add to my humble collection some day.[emoji106][emoji106]

Very nice, Daniele. Reminds that I should wear my Barbisio ratiné more often.
