What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[TimmyV]

3” brim x 6” crown as an example. I didn’t go back to review your post. I know now your’s is larger brim than that. It’s just an example I used, 3x6 being a fav dimension of mine.

I appreciate the information and welcome the opportunity to learn !

Lots of that in most of these other threads.

Great conversion, Terry, and another AWESOME noir shot!

Cool…. I like that hat logo near the seam. Is it like branded into the felt?

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Jota Velour", possibly late 1920s early 1930s. There is no Hückel on the Liner and Sweatband. The JHS Crest is the similar to the "Loden" Soft Felts that also do not have Hückel on the Sweatband and Crown Tip Patch. I found this Velour back in 2022.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Promotional Pocket Mirror, possibly 1930s. Found this back in 1922.

Another beautiful velour. Great looking hat all the way down to the patina on the sweatband.

Thanks Joe! Yes, it appears to be a branding.

Another stunner, Steve!

Yet another beauty. Love the logo and the texture on the sweatband…and the wide ribbon.

Found this back in 1922.

You’ve been collecting hats & hat memorabilia for some time, then!!

Echter Borsalino "Qualità Superiore", possibly later 1930s. The Mélange felt finish is similar to Velour Soleil so shows a high amount of gloss and is very pliable. The mix of colors from a distance look Stone Gray like. I was very lucky to find this Soft Felt back in 2021.

That one is certainly up there with the finest, Steve. What a spectacular hat!

Looking good the both of you, Gary. Glad you got that Hornskov to work for you.

This morning I'm proud to show y'all one of my latest acquisitions. Much like yesterday's hat, this is another of those " rare as hens' teeth" hats that I felt lucky to find. Demon Hanover made by Hoyt Hat Company in Danbury, Connecticut. There are some moth nibbles here & there but nothing that would stop me from wearing & enjoying this lid.

Very cool find, Tim. A bit of character never hurt a hat.

Day of changeable weather.

Leaden morning with rain on the way, midday strong wind and autumn sun with raining leaves.
I dusted off this Borsalino Qualità Extra Ssuperiore Amiata color and Goraita hat type

The hat is an atypical Borsalino (for flat brims) sold in Italy probably in the late fifties early sixties

Thank you for your appreciation and compliments for your headgear.

Had to sit down (luckily I already was) and take a few deep breaths. It seems it's the week of the super Borsalinos. Why didn't I get the memo? In short: it's the very best Borsalino had to offer, Daniele. Superb!

Thanks Stefan, but the Mogul was never a problem. It was the western weight Rancher that I was struggling to love. The good news is that I’m happy with the latest bash & pinch I’ve put on the Rancher, so it’s finally getting the love it deserves, too.

Ah, I must have mixed those up.

 

[Bamaboots]

Simply.Stunning.

Thank you, Mark.

Always liked that one BB. I had a WAR fedora once with the padded/vented Comfort Cushion sweat once.

Thanks, HJ. I also had a WAR with the same sweat but this is the only hat I have left with it.

Headed into town later this morning for a few supplies and thought I might as well go with something classy. Stetson # 1 Quality never fails to satisfy that urge.
TGIF people...hope y'all have a good 'un !

 

[Daniele Tanto]

That is VERY nice, Daniele!

Thank you so much

Thanks Stefan! Sometimes Borsalino deserves some good vibrations

Sunny day with pleasant temperatures. Cold night and temperatures below zero Celsius.

Walk to enjoy the warmth, accompanied by an ancient Thibet made in France expressely for A. Meer - Strasbourg. The hat is more than a hundred years old and is a blend of fur and wool with a shape that can be dated to the early years of the century. It is wide, but a loved one

It has the features of a homburg without the ribbon edging of the brims.
Imposing with full crown, it has an indescribable charm.

Thank you for your likes which I reciprocate with my heart

I’m with you on the bright hat and warm shirt choice Rick!

Although the tree shadows are making the hat look dirty.

Resistol 20X Diamond Horseshoe with a like new Pendleton wool Lodge shirt that somehow was missed by the on-line sorters at Goodwill and ended up on our local rack for $5.98.
