What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[TheOldFashioned]

Thanks, Jonesy.
Rest assured, the feeling is mutual…but delete “food” and insert “leather jackets”!

What do you say @jonesy86 and @AbbaDatDeHat? Since Gary is already in Japan, Freewheelers? Real McCoys? Electric Leather Studio?

You should check out the Outerwear side of the forum, Gary. You don't know the power of the dark side. And then go check out Yahoo Japan.

Also, tis the season, I suppose.

I was just thinking the other day about pinging you in the have you seen lately thread. Great to see you around these parts, Jeff!

Today in Verona is the feast of young and old. It is Santa Lucia who brought the gifts on the magical night. The tradition worked again this year and for my daughter the "plate" of Santa Lucia arrived via photography

For me, the gift came from Panos a few days ago from Norway. A magnificent night blue velour Bantam

The Bantam brand is owned on this side of the Atlantic by the Cappellificio Cervo, but the hat, despite the brand, seems to be made in Germany or Austria

Beautiful and the shape is that of a hat from before the Second World War.

Thanks to Panos who performed the task of Saint Lucia

A wonderful addition to your already magnificent collection, Daniele. Hats off to you and to @PanosChris for the gift.

Thanks! It’s been a busier Fall than I can remember, even pre-pandemic. A double edged sword, of course. But still wearing hats and you all are sporting great ones around here!

Two hat and a beret day today. Seen a few of these Marathons racing around the forum lately, so a Marathon seemed appropriate for the morning trip to the bus stop:

Felt deadly handsome in this Lee homburg this evening, courtesy of @deadlyhandsome. Now I know how Brent feels every day. Wish I could say I wore it to date night, but instead it was to a local meetup to sell a hat:

Maybe with one less hat in the house that date night might come sooner.

You, Jonathan, are an evil man.
I just had a quick look at those brands on a couple of local markets. Not much going from Electric Leather Studio, but the other two brands look capable of breaking the bank pretty quickly. I do have one Japanese leather rider’s jacket, which I really like, but as far as I know, the brand (Glory Crew by Men’s Bigi) is unknown outside Japan. I also have a couple of Paul Smith leather coats which are nothing special, but were pretty cheap on the local markets (like one tenth the price of most of the Freewheelers and Real McCoys).
I seem to recall reading somewhere that Real McCoys was a New Zealand company, but now only in Japan…at least I think it was Real McCoys.

Borsalino Alessandria....

Day made of examinations on the gifts received from Saint Lucia.

In the riot of chocolate, nougat, dried figs and more I thought about wearing a hat that's wide for my head, but so beautiful to be worn with the thicknesses to keep it in trim

Borsalino Qualità Victoria, size is 7 so a 61 cm. made in the sixties.

The color of the felt is "Aureola - Aureole" and the color of the ribbon is "Bulgaro - Bulgarian"

The ribbon that surrounds the brims is the same color as the felt in the odor of sanctity

The Borsalino arrived new directly from the Merano shop "M. Hutter"

Thanks for the likes and appreciation.
I'm sorry, but I can't comment on all the beautiful hats I see every day. I try to do my best, but something always escapes me, however congratulations to everyone

Good morning. I selected my unlined pre-40's Borsolino early morning, in the dark, for a dog soirre.

After arriving home I noticed that the ribbon treatment got wrinkled when stored in a stack of 4 hats. Off to the hat steamer goes the Borsolino.

Cheers, Eric -

Love the combo shark's gill/box bow on that one.

Wow for a Mallory Ten, Jim. Love the ribbon and bow treatment, not to mention the liner.

Hope you had a good Christmas lunch.

Thank Joe, your last Borsalino is fantastic as endless wonderful parade you show during weeks

Nice Borsalino, chapeau!

Thanks Marcel. There are many Borsalino of various qualities, this, usually not of the best, is an exception. I was lucky
