What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Altiori]

Here's one. Borsalino Calvino Open Crown. This might be Borsalino's least expensive? Super light at 2.7 ounces. Brim is 2 1/4". Cloth sweatband. Very malleable. The color is lighter than any other Borsalino I have come across in brown. Size 57. I like that I forget I have it on.

Its a fun hat; just bought one myself.
Tried to find a decent quality hat that I can travel with, crush, and still wear.
This works and as you say, I forget I’m wearing it.

Thanks, Mike. Can't wait to see your choice for the grocery store.

Now this is a truly wonderful Homburg! That color has my blue juices bubbling, now what to wear today to the grocery store? One of my favorites Steve.


Saw this one on Facebook last night. I have had a Flagship on my want list for a long while now. This one is so great.


Your cap parade has really got me wanting some "winter" weight caps. I don't need another obsession though, thanks for that Eric.


Very nice Fabio. That watch is so cool. I assume it is of European origin?


Blue is the color for today I think. You are always an inspiration Eric!


Very cool Bob, I just love the fuzzy ones. This one looks very pettable.


Whippet good! The leather trench looks like a winner. Wish I could find one in my size.

This afternoon, by pure chance, I returned to the paths of my childhood.
During an early afternoon walk in the valley where I live, I ventured on what used to be a road, now a path between falling trees, thorns and mud

I was wearing a French town hat from the thirties, certainly not in line with the situation

"A. Meer" without any other indication. Felt is made of a mixture of wool and fur. Arrived new some years ago.

Luck would have it that I met a childhood friend of mine intent on clearing an uncultivated land owned by the family. It must have been fifty years since I entered that property which is leaning against the hill and has, inside, a tuff quarry, used by my friend's father as a donkey farm.

The last ones donkeys here in the valley up to twenty years ago

The sun was almost hot and the trees had yellow and red leaves on the paths when I was a child
Have a nice day!

 

[Redfokker]

I've been sporting Homburgs all week, so I guess a Navy Mayser-Milz will work for today's blue theme. Bitter cold had me wearing a black wool overcoat.

A walk down memory lane is always a good thing Daniele. Love the crown height on that French beauty.

Beautiful hat as always, Daniele.
But what a wonderful story and day for you. It’s not often we get to return to our childhood days and to run into a childhood friend, what a blessing. I always enjoy your adventures. Thanks for sharing this one.
Stay well and safe.

Bowen thanks for your words.
Today was an unexpected afternoon and therefore magical despite the white beard and a few years too many on the hump

Eska was Swiss made. ETA 900 movement...

Love the fuzz, Bob. Nice catch.

New to me Dobbs Golden Coach as I head out into the gloom. Fuzzy pics of a fuzzy hat.

Great Whippet Michael, especially the colour. Super ensemble, too. The leather trench coat is just the icing on the cake. Love it!
Stay warm, sir.

I know it’s Italy, not Spain, but I fully expected to see Don Quixote ride into shot in that valley. Beautiful!

 

[Steve1857]

Super looking 1930s French hat, Daniele. The perfect hat to wear on a trip down memory lane.
Thanks for sharing it and your story.

I can see why that's one of your favourites, Mike. A nice tight Homburg in a fabulous navy.
Stay warm.

Just going to town for some grocery shopping at the supermarkets, lid today is my new Akubra Fed IV.

 

[Steve1857]

Borsalino Bismuto. I was lucky that the late autumn light brought out the true colour on this one.

Great Whippet Michael, especially the colour. Super ensemble, too. The leather trench coat is just the icing on the cake. Love it!

Thanks Steve. It was actually quite nice here today, save for the cold north wind. And the leather took care of that. I took the ensemble out for a bit of shopping at Walmart and Aldi. Ha ha.

Thanks,
Michael

 

[Steve1857]

Nice Fed IV on your head and on your beautifully made hat stand. Cudos.

Great looking Borsalino, Steve. Ain't it fun when the light and the camera agree and show the true colors?

"Blue" morning escapades completed and home to prepare some lunch and then back to work for the remainder of the day/evening. Escapades this morning found me sport'n a vintage tweed suit, vintage tie, Alden Gunboats and a 40's Stetson Flagship (cadet blue).

Grilling lunch in a 40's Brock fedora.

Cheers, Eric -

Blue Ambassador for a cold rainy day
