What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[alanfgag]

Wonderful photos, Alan. Then again, who could take them better?

Thank you Steve… hope all is well with you.

Always hard to capture the true colour of these dark blue felts, especially in November. Believe me though, it is blue. Ask Stefan

Awesome

My vintage Stylemaster earlier in the day, but I forgot to get photos. Indian food for dinner in my Brummel’s homburg.

Sorry, Stefan @steur, I forgot to get food pictures, too. But I am enjoying the Homburg.

The great 'noir' vibe from your photo makes up for it, Gary

Echter Rockel Velour possibly later 1920s. This hat arrived over the Summer after being sent by mistake to China.

Glad to see the hat made it in the end (not all of them do). Would have been a shame if such a fine hat had been lost. The bow is incredible.

Next in the black pre-war series, another European.

French again but in long hair finish this time. Unknown maker but similar size tag Fletchet used View attachment 381500
Wool or wool mixture, so not real velour nice sheen, though quite rough hand. Double bow, old style wind-cord View attachment 381501

Le blason

I hope you enjoy it

Beautiful hat, Panos. I'm really enjoying this series. The bow and the windcord bring just that bit of extra to this hat.

Enjoyed some cool air this afternoon under the Stetson Flagship after a fairly positive job interview.

Excellent parade of hats, Joe. I think this version of the Borsalino fu Lazzaro was made in Canada under license.

They are obviously buying it for the celebrity connection because that is not a very nice hat. I’ll also confess that I don’t have any idea who Tom Waits is.

Gasp! You have some catching up to do, Brent! Not to everyone's taste (thank goodness), but Tom Waits is more than worth checking out. I've been a fan for a long time.

But I started to feel the beautiful brown Knox homburg was the way to go today

Happy Thanksgiving

Love the Knox homburg, Joe.

Disney Twenty this morning.

That is just magnificent, Dave.

Good morning folks.

The morning dog soiree hat was a Gannon Wanderer (silverbelly beaver felt with charcoal trimming).

After getting home I took a cup of coffee on a walkabout. A Knox Twenty kept my head warm and styl'n.

Cheers, Eric -

All of this weeks' hats have been outstanding, Eric. I really like the look of that Knox.

Scott & Co beaver blend in a colour they call
St. James Blue.
Have a blessed weekend, folks. View attachment 382283

Would love to find me another one like that, Steve. In my size that is. Such a great colour (very blue indeed @Blare) and wonderful felt.

Borsalino for the trip today

 

[Steve1857]

Barbisio Qualitá Extra. The third of the three hats I bought from Daniele recently. I fell for this one as soon as I saw Daniele's photos of it. Elegant style, bold colour, wonderful hand to the felt, simple but eye-catching ribbon and bow treatment, and quality finishes.
Barbisio at their best.

How very interesting. I figured a 60s revival

Late 20s Hückel 'Prima' for a later walk - and a modern Tonak 'beret' for my better half...

Great headwear on a lovely couple. Matt.

Excellent choice Steve, congrats!

Thanks Panos.
We need to talk to Matt about the scarf and tie, too. Perhaps we should hold a Danish, Norwegian, Dutch, and German conference on hats, coats, scarves, ties, jackets, and suits sometime in the new year

 

[Belkar]

My Charcoal Gannon. By far my favorite. Until my next Gannon arrives.

Wow, that's a great idea! I think we should make it Italian too, and maybe visit the fantastic rare-hats museum there (while getting some sun): rumours has it there is no guard
