I always admire the classic shape and proportions of a Gannon. Wonderful colour too, Brent.

Yesterday, a Mallory Dallas in charcoal.

Sticking with the thin ribbon today. The ever popular BGGCD.

Beautiful day with temperatures outside the norm, especially in the middle of the day.

Stroll up to the office with a close friend who has worked as a graphic designer for many years.
She was one of the best of our generation.

This unusual Borsalino accompanied me between red and yellow leaves and the last green.

Borsalino "Brughiera-Heath" with "Ombù" ribbon.
View attachment 377924
The felt is a pronounced heather, malleable and with one of the most interesting hatband colors among the Borsalino combinations.

We took a step back together when she and I conceived advertising campaigns.
It seems to me a century has passed

Today was a wonderful day to photograph felts. Overcast sky and total clarity.

I thought of a purchase many years ago, in reality my first lot almost entirely made up of Borsalino which were sold on the stalls in Turin and its surroundings.

This was the first one I had restored by the "Cappelleria Melegari" in Milan.

Perfect work because originally the hat was really shabby.

Let's continue with the" Argento-Argent"color of Borsalino which is never the same.
View attachment 377766 The ribbon with pleated bow is "Asfalto - Asphalt"color.

Is one of those Borsalino called "Grand Prix"
Have a nice day!

Two fantastic hats! The felt finishes are magnificent! I hope these are also exhibited in the museum along with the "impossibles"

Nice finish and color, Steve! Is it already cold over there?

Everything matches up, very nice! How is the felt? Big fun of the brim up style too

Thanks Panos.
Not really cold at all for the time of year. It's both nice, but worrying at the same time.

 

[Steve1857]

This quite new, this century, and recently aquired Borsalino for a night out. Looks best in the light of the night, as do I

Continuing on the black oldies, another Tanto's contribution to the hat community:

Thanks, Panos. The felt has a great hand comparable to most beaver customs or better vintage fedoras. The crown is very thin and feels like a lightweight hat, but it thickens and firms closer to the brim break and the brim is substantial without being western-like. I really like how it turned out.

My Beater Dobbs 20 for some power washing and screen replacement today.

Now that is a great hat, Brent. It looks good, has a commanding presence, and the proportions fit you perfectly.

 

[Dlaniger]

It was a Campdraft kind of day.

 

[Belkar]

Stetson Bozeman now that I’ve found the correct thread.

Perfect for a cold night in Lincoln Nebraska eating dinner with the family.

Beautiful photo, Max. You honor us by sharing this one.

Thank you, Brent!!!

 

[drmaxtejeda]

Wonderful photos, Max.
May those we loved, but are now gone, live on in our hearts and minds.

My Dad is very much alive, Steve. I am proud to be his son, even though I am embarrassed I could never measure up to him, after he gave me every oportunity. He is a "garbanzo de a libra", or "one-pound chickpea" as we say in Mexico.

Fur felt, very thin and lightweight. Strong prewar vibe, bold yet subtle

Unlined and unreeded, stitched brim, laced sweatband

Elegant in its simplicity.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Wow.

Alan thanks. I can say Wow almost of each of your hats

Gannon nutria in cobalt:

A very nice hat. I like the color, very well uniform all over the felt, and the shape, quite a cross over city and western hat. Alla fine dei commenti posso solo dire: E' un gran bel cappello

Two fantastic hats! The felt finishes are magnificent! I hope these are also exhibited in the museum along with the "impossibles"

Si, they are in the same place of the "impossible" along with many others

 

[Rmccamey]

Very classic look, Panos.
