What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

Friday the 13th is upon us and it's 22 degrees down here @ Rock Bottom. Brrrr !
I have been fortunate to acquire a couple nice Borsalino fedoras lately and shared one with y'all yesterday. Today's hat is a Borsalino Feather Weight that should fit right in with the Friday the 13th theme. You see, this hat originally came from the factory rolled up and stuffed in what is known as a "coffin box", which is about the size of a shoe box, but narrower. The guy I got the hat from was kind enough to pack the hat in a suitable size box to also accommodate the coffin box so no worries about my hat arriving all squished up. Thanks Brent !

The fit and finish on this hat is quite remarkable. The felt is thin and very malleable. I really like the unreeded sweatband and notice that this one also has the Borsalino "corrugated " strip in the front of the sweatband whereas the Columbo I posted yesterday did not.

* I've been informed that the box I have is not a " coffin box" after all. Pics of real coffin box are posted later in this thread. View attachment 663873 View attachment 663874 View attachment 663875 View attachment 663876 View attachment 663872

May not be the standard “coffin box” but I’d say it’s more rare. Beautiful hat too!

I keep reaching into random hat boxes and finding O’Farrells.

I transitioned to the far side of Bali about ten days ago and promptly fell sick with a bad flu. Yesterday was my first day in the ocean since being in Bali.

Catching the flu straight away was an inauspicous start to my time here, so it was a great relief to have a visit this evening from a school of dolphin (sea mammal kind). This is the scene from my hotel balcony; they are too far out for a clear photo, but it's alway special to have flipper pop in for a visit. A visit from sea mammals turns a quiet bay into a place of magic.

I have been following the hat parade with much pleasure - you guys have certainly enlarged your collections this year in a tremendous way. Here I am with the FED IV a few weeks back before leaving Melaka, along with my good friend from Kashmir whose brother named me The Lost Cowboy.

It’s that time of year again! Time for all the stingy goodness. That’s right it’s Stingymas all over again. For those who don’t know StingyMas created with my friend @Redfokker is an 11 day celebration of all the fine hats that just happen to have shorter brims. If you want to join in the StingyMas fun.. the rules are simple And very loose. Show off your hats with brims at the shorter end of your collection…. For me I shoot for 2 in brims and shorter…. Though I may make an exception or two. What Is your “stingy” range?

On the first Day of StingyMas.…

Borsalino Casear

It was a Banjo Paterson day for me. The ground is still lightly white around here and getting whiter.

As the temperatures drop, I’m reminded to pop in the Buckaroo Hatters ear cover/wind guard I bought last season This is GENIUS.
Now I need the brown one…

Christmas is coming...!

 

[Trouser Bark]

That wind guard is not mentioned on their website. Bummer, too. Looks like it might be pretty handy for cold country.
