Wonderful thin ribbon! The feathers suit it perfectly. How tall is that crown?

What is

Ooohhh, Alan!! What/where is that place?

This was at John’s of Bleecker Pizzaria. It’s in the west village in manhattan. Some say it’s the last place with a coal oven in the city, but I know Lombardi’s has one too, and I’m sure it’s older. Atmosphere was cool, pizza was fantastic, even my vegan wife was able to eat (pasta/marinara), the only thing that sucked was the line to get in. I understand it’s not usually as bad.

Thanks Nathan. I have it in my notes as 5 1/2 open about 4 3/4 as shaped.

Not a metric thing : nine lives over here!

Nordic effect, then.

Indeed. Hats like that don’t have to wait for special occasions. They ARE the occasion

Looks taller then 5.5. No matter - it's a fine lid.

Great hats today, gentlemen.

We’re getting a good bit of snow and ice here in northern Alabama. It is wonderful! That is, so long as you don’t have to go anywhere.

I’m not planning to step off the front porch without skates.

Gannon beaver just because it’s such a great hat.

Pic wasn't taken today, but this was the hat. Absolutely the BEST condition of any 2nd-hand hat I've ever scored in my life. This Resistol Hi Sierra looks like it just came out of its factory box. Headband is marked "King's Western Wear" with their Van Nuys Blvd location. I make this about early-to-mid-70s vintage. (The crown isn't deformed, I just couldn't get a really symmetrical shot.)

Since I took a dive into Italian felts this weekend, I pulled out my Borsalino traveling fedora today and stood out in the ten degree weather for a bit. Boy is it refreshing out there, but darn icy!

This guy has been around the world with me once but deteriorated rapidly on the last leg of that trip so I pretty much retired him. I forgot what a fantastic hat this is. Very very unique felt, a wonderful aesthetic and a brilliant execution of travel mechanics.

I know I posted this one just a couple of weeks ago, but, well, it was the hat of the day again. And, these are much better pics than the one I snapped in our guest room, at night.

Another 70s vintage RCA shape, this one's a 4x Resistol. Quickly becoming one of my favorites.

I'm amazed at the travel mechanics myself. How does a rollable hat look that great after unrolling it???

Hey all!
Another shout out to my hommies
This one was made for Plassard by Morreton, long time ago when they was fab.



Have a great day!

I have very limited experience with vintage Borsas so I don’t know if this felt is a particular kind that they used specially for the travel line or if it’s similar to other Borsa felt from that period. Maybe @steur or others can speak to that.

All I can say is that it is truly unique in my collection. I have nothing else even vaguely similar.

Shoveling snow again last night after work in my 3X OR.
