What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[mayserwegener]

Borsalino. 50s ?

Good try but no. What about a year?

 

[J Williams]

Another Nutria Quality today. This one is a 3x6 bound brim with that oh so special liner!

 

[Randall Renshaw]

That's a beauty, Randall.

Thank you, Perry.
I’m sure folks here have ‘em, but I haven’t seen anyone wearing a stark white hat. Spring’s comin’ and I’m sure they’ll be popping out of the closets soon. Already, Spring is full swing down here.

Indeed. I have 3 white Stetsons and a white vintage off brand from TN. May be pulling those out soon.

Can anyone guess the make and year of this hat? I actually wore this yesterday.

A pre-War Mayser. Um, 1938?

I'm always wrong.

Now I remember @Bamaboots wearing a white one in this thread a while back. Bowen sent me to the white pages and saw a bunch of nice, heavenly white hats!
If you “Got White” hats better dust them off. Spring has sprung down South. Won’t be too much longer for you Yanks!

Carlton...1957

The calendar says felt, but the weather and my mood say straw: Resistol Snake River.

Another bevy of beauties, Stefan.

Thanks, Steve. They all deserve their place in the sun.

 

[Steve1857]

That's a nice one!

Thank you, Terry.

A sho nuff victory.
Suede Marque Grand Luxe Salvatore Balbi Borsalino, 50s? The diagonal liner seam is sewn together not just folded. Idk a thing about these hats, but I know quality when I see it and wear it.
2 1/2 inch brim. 4 1/2 inch crown front as creased, so great proportions! The felt is super incredible!!

Absolutely beautiful, Randall. If we can see the label underneath the sweatband, we can say more about the age.

Great show! I love them all but my vote is for the Marathon!

Thanks, Alan. I can't name favourites: the others might hear!

Is that a sort of moss green? Looks awesome...especially with what looks to be a burgundy ribbon!!
Stefan.....LOOK AT THIS ONE!!!!
But then it could all be in the monitor....

Khaki with a purple ribbon

Phew! I'm safe to say: very nice, Fabio.

 

[Steve1857]

I always enjoy Spring and watching all the Japanese Maples, Azaleas, Gardenias and Hydrangeas start to bloom. This year is even more special to relax with nature and forget all the stuff going on. I walk around every morning before work and every afternoon after getting home and check out how much everything has changed in just one day:

Stetson 3X OR for Thin Ribbon Thursday......

As do we all, Stefan

Yesterday, Fort Worth mayor Betsy Price came up with one of those Texas slang sayings that just might catch on;
Y'all stay safe. Y'all stay healthy and Y'all stay home!

At home with my new homburg from Northwest Hats.

View attachment 222514

She should have added: Y'all keep wearin' homburgs!
But then: she didn't see yours, Randy, or she would have.

Still playing with that, Randall. I watched an episode of the Marvelous Mrs. Mazel last night and one of the secondary characters said that Wedensdays were "Work from home without Pants days". With all the shelter in place mandates we have currently, I thought his statement was appropo!!! Shudde Brothers on top, bull hide Nocona's on the bottom

Better check your camera settings before you start facetiming!

The straw and the shirt sure say summer, Brent.

Stay well, sir.

That's a tough one Steve, but I'll play the game even though I know the cards are stacked against me

Mayser 1950, their 150th anniversary.

Great looking hat btw, despite the wear and tear, whatever the make.

Another one of your hats I covet, Michael. It's starting to add up!

Yesterday evening I wore a 40's brown Stetson Stratoliner.

Here is a side by side spic with a 50's Open Road.

Continuing thin ribbon, this morning I was sport'n a gray 40's Stetson Open Road.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -

Very cool, Eric. Nice to see them side by side. From what I gather the Open Roads are usually stiffer hats. Is that the case here as well?

Another great batch Stefan, but I really like that Mayser wildleder thin ribbon.

Thanks, Tim. It is Mayser at it the top of their game. They did one in a mid ribbon as well (Brent has one of those; awesome hat).

Great colour, Perry, and an exceptional brim curve.

Man, very nice one Randall ! Looks in great condition. I have one from Michele Balbi, I wonder if they are related ? Maybe some of the Borsalino experts will know.

I think Michele was Salvatore's son.

Wearing the new Stylepark Templeform I got in late last week to the office today. Another great deal on a two-fer with a Lee for dirt cheap. They were very dirty and mangled but the Templeform is in perfect condition after pulling out the liner to wash separately, cleaning, steaming, and shaping, and a little ribbon repair.

This is some very nice felt, one of those ‘clay like’ felts that just molds to anything and you just want to pet and mold. The Lee will need a new sweat.

The drive to work today was very strange after our Shelter in Place order went into affect last night. In my 35 years of driving this same highway to the same job every day, I have never seen it like this in rush hour:

Very nice, Tim. Love the deep brown colour on that one. Works well with the black ribbon.

Wow, Stefan, those are all winners! I don’t always comment since so many of your hats are absolutely wonderful. Just wow!

Thanks, Brent, much appreciated. Just a 'like' is fine too; it's almost impossible to comment on all hats.

P. & C. Habig Wien "Export Qualität" probably 1953.

P. & C. Habig Wien - Wilhelm Slama Salzburg Hat Holder probably early 1930s.

Seems like a bit larger brim than I usually see on Habig. Very nice hat. Love the hat holder.

Out for a walk wearing an unlined Stetson Stratoliner in cadet blue.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -

Always love seeing that one Eric !

+1 !

Thanks, Randall. It's from the mid- to late fifties up until 1960. The "palladio" (palladium) is the colour name. The model name is "ecosti". If you manage to crack Borsalino's hat naming code for us, you'll receive a free hat! It's been a head-scratcher for quite some time now.
