Another morning trip into the void for supplies. Brisk enough for a Italian Cashmere overcoat and a mid-50s Mallory XV. Gills! This one has graced the interwebs many times. It gets a lot of head time because of the vintage feel and dimensions, a favorite. Something about a wide brim in the cool morning...tastes like...victory!

The whole outfit is a victory, Mike. Travellin' in style!

I bought a couple of really nice hats from Stefan recently. I picked them up from the post office yesterday. I'm waiting for some winter sunshine before posting photos of them.
In the meantime, here's a two week old or so photo of the Borsalino Qualitá Suprema I bought from Stefan in April. Borsalino called it Agave. It's a wonderful colour, and one I think the autumn light brought out quite nicely.
Have a good week ahead folks.

Unlikely I'll ever find another in that colour. Great outfit, Steve. Love that coat.

Stetson Royal De Luxe homburg:

Now how could anyone not like a homburg like that?! Superb, Brent.

Good afternoon. I have never had anything against black hats; as a matter of fact, I have a number of them, but I usually wear them on formal occasions and funerals. It just so happened that I lucked up while I was cruising through one of my local hat shops a couple of months ago, and the proprietor made a deal that I couldn't pass up. I like the look and feel of this one, and its shape goes along with my more recent casual lifestyle as a result of the pandemic. I have been wearing this hat all weekend.
Excellent Quality Stetson Bogie

Rightly so, Reggie. Nothing wrong with black hats.

That's what they said at Pearl Harbor.

A running marathon to the end, Adrian! Beautious!!

So why not a Borsa thin ribbon (TAR) for me today?!

Sorry about the drip. It was so perfectly centered, I had to leave it there.
Have a SUPER week, everybody.

Why not indeed! Looks great, Charlie.

Very nice, Randall.

Well, time to wrap up American week (which lasted for a few weeks, but who's counting?). This must have been one of the first hats that I own that actually came from America (and not manufactured under license).
Knox Westlite (Mike Miller redid the ribbon).

Tomorrow is the official start of Italian week. It will last quite a while. Here's a taster.
Borsalino Eglesti (I tried it on before I took care of the beard).

Brought it home just in time for election eve. Trove the look of that Westlite.

 

[Blare]

Well, strange things have certainly happened since then!

You are telling me! For one... my hat collection has reached another dimension LOL

 

[Blare]

Just felt like taking a weight off my mind on this Election Eve. At 72 grams the Dobbs Cross Country did just that.

Thanks, Joe. And your hat collection did indeed reach another dimension! Lucky it was a benign dimension!

The suit: jacket, pants, shirt, pullover and everything else are great, the hat does its part, but it's the last one on my favorites list.
Complimenti Michael

Thanks Daniele. I probably should have gone with the tan Open Road?

Great hat and great look, Michael. Both coats work.

Thanks Stefan. Both coats were a necessity for my walk yesterday. It was windy and cold here.

Your first American hat makes a fitting end to American week. It's still a nice hat. Looking forward to Italian "week".

Thanks,
Michael

Good on you, Johnny. The only way to go IMO. And nice VS!

Yes just one that seems to replicate. Luckily no Demogorgon. Occasional fungi though.

Exquisite, Wayne. Those early English hats are very hard to come by. You should post it in the British Hatmakers thread as well.

Always so sharply outfitted. Carry Bandaids? Very nice, old English fedora!

Indeed. Looks fantastic!

Thanks. We spent most of the summer rescuing birds, now we seem to be fostering kittens. Getting them socialized for adoption.
Do what you can.
