What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

I made it back from Houston last night. Long Drive ( 2-1/2 hrs each way) Long day. I stayed with the black Akubra Bogart yesterday. Did break out a Silverbelly Open Road and a Grey Beaver Brand today to try on a new Paradise Found shirt... Didnt have any darker ones like this so thought Id give the black with brownish Bamboo fronds a try to vary the wardrobe a bit. Silverbelly and Grey both give a nice contrast with it

Both of those go QUITE nicely with the new shirt, Rick.

Delion Fedora. A summer acquisition from Stefan.

Thankfully this French Fedora from 1955 was too big for him, but the right size for me.

Today was the first day I was able to wear it. Goodbye summer and thank you. Hello felt hat season.

Goodbye summer and thank you. Hello felt hat season.

So I guess we’ll be seeing a bit more of you around here. I know you never exactly went away, but welcome back, anyway.

Switched out to a Borsalino I got in the mail today. A silvery 5X Marque Gran Luxe. I think the model is Drudosti and color is Palladio which may be marble?

Fantastic!!

Love the colour of that Whippet Joe, I told Tina that I might have found just the hat to go with a new pair of trousers that she is making for me. The lady came and had a look, admired your hat and said: "He needs to stand near a razor!" Oh dear.

Thank you Robert. It does appear the lady is correct. And to think I thought of having a shave before taking the pics.

Looking good there, Steve. Really like the brim curve on that Delion.

That is a super cool one, Don, and a model we have not seen before. Please post it in the Borsalino thread as well, for posterity.

The Mayser, and the Philip Marlowesque trench coat is as equally desirable.
Oh dear, where's my manners, I was so taken by that hat and coat that I forgot
to say: "Good morning Stefan."
Good morning to you good Sir.

Weather permitting, we shall be in our MG at Christchurch later, after we have been to church.
Later still I am treating the lady to Sunday lunch at our favourite watering hole.
The bespoke hat was neglected looking, but Tina steamed it, re-blocked it and made a new hatband ribbon. I'm rather taken with it.
