What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Oh my, but I've been having a successful November, hat-wise!!

There's a whole thread on these, going all the way back to 2006, so I don't think I need to go into detail for you folks; most of you probably know more about these hats than I do.

Proudly showing off my new-to-me Demon Hanover, which possesses one of the all-time kewlest freaking linings I've ever seen on a hat.

If that’s true that the under-the-lining tag reflects the creation date, then mine was born in September, 1953, just 14 months after I was. The hat is DEFINITELY in better condition. :laughing:

You're on a roll, Mark!

Cosa si può dire di un cappello così? E' una meraviglia!
I would like to find one in my size here in the place of origin, dear Alan

Thank you... and good luck in your quest.

The Gorasgu is a big style - not one I pick up to wear often - but the construction and details are really special and hard to resist when an older specimen in good condition appears.

Congratulations on the new addition to your hat collection Mark ! That one certainly looks pristine.

Got tired of wearing cheap ill fitting hats and finally broke down and bought a decent one from David Morgan. I can see now it's money well spent.

Congrats—that’s a beauty and suits you to a T! I recently got a guitar that was built the same year I was born—and in the same city. I’d say we’re both showing our age but there’s something special about it.

Cheers,

David

I don't get out often during the week since I work remotely and Diana runs most of the erands. Running out this evening under a new to me silvery Whippet to get a pizza. Too rural for delivery.

The Demon is a great hat and the story behind it is greater still. Definitely a rare hat and a jewell in any collection. Hoyt was a very interesting man, the hat, a treasure!
Happy to see another one here.

Thank you, sir!
