What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Granville]

Royal Stetson for a rainy day in NYC. Joan Mitchell exhibit at David Zwimmer Gallery, Chelsea. My wife thinks I’m taking pics of the artwork, but it’s all about the hat.

Love that one!

I’m visiting the North Carolina coast for a few days. It’s quite gusty out here but my “flying saucer” Royal Stetson with the brim snapped up is unaffected. Seriously this hat is about as good as my bowlers in the wind.

I wore my Flying Cloud for the first time today. It’s been waiting a long time to make its debut on this thread, mainly because Etsuko’s not a big fan of the stingy brim. I love the colour of this one. It’s grey, but the felt has a definite green hue to it. It’s also my only hat with the custom edge.

Another hat will be making it’s debut tomorrow.

A surprise snow here in East Illinois! Wearing a Camp Draft while cleaning snow off the sidewalks.

Borsalino today....

Mayfair in Central London is just about the most expensive real estate in the UK, I say just about because there's a strip of coastline about a forty minute drive from where I live called Sandbanks. The property there is so expensive the place is dubbed Mayfair-on-Sea.

This is Compton Acres, Sandbanks. The doorway in the middle leads to various small businesses, including my tailor. This morning I collected a repaired suit, all those tables you see were packed with diners enjoying some rare sunshine after all the rain that we had.
My Gamble & Gunn hat seem to be attracting quite a bit of attention:

But my tailor appeared having seen me on his CCTV. He laughed when I said the hat is creating a stir.
"Your hat is fabulous," he said, "but what they are all looking at are those baggy trousers that Tina has so excellently crafted for you."
He wasn't wrong, as I was leaving a lady approached me, complimented me on my attire and said that she misses seeing men in such stylish hats. She, and the tailor, both made my day. You want to see those baggies? This is a hat thread, remember. Oh go on then:

If you noticed the hat colour difference well done you. The last photo is recycled,
but it's the best to show off the trousers.
And why did I mention Sandbanks? My tailor isn't cheap, then again his small showroom
comes at a Sandbanks premium price, but he is very good. I just wish he learned millinery
and while he was at it being a Cordwainer would be another favourable string to his bow.

Looks great, Gary. Nice green hue to the grey. Love that liner.

A marvellous ensemble yet again, Robert. Wonderful baggies.

I love it when people go out of their way to give a compliment.

A very modern Borsalino. At 4cm, the brim is the stingiest I have.

You are a gentleman as ever, Steve. How I agree about unsolicited compliments. This afternoon, at my local supermarket, a fellow who had the appearance of a farm worker with his woolen cardigan and trousers tucked inside his wellington boots, just came up to me and said: "I like your style, are those trousers called Oxford Bags?" "They were once," I replied "and the hat's a fedora?" "Indeed it is," I answered. Then he smiled and repeated: "I do like your style." "Thank you," I replied, returning his smile. I was still grinning when I got home.

Doesn’t get much better than that
