What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[RickP]

What we wore for dress-up in Cheyenne, Wyoming around 1900.... a formal western hat with fancy silk ribbon and silk wrapped underbrim that becomes the edge binding on top. Not a hat you run across every day of the week.

Warm holiday wishes to my pals at the Fedora Lounge!

Love that underbrim coverng.... That might be perfect for rehabbing hats with moth damaged or stained brims!

On the ninth day of Stingymas I chose this fuzzy lil Cavanagh Twenty Five with a 1-7/8 inch brim.
Hope y'all have a good 'un !

Wow. You have such an amazing collection. Happy holidays to you too.

Today is a recently acquired Stetson Twenty-five. This is my 3rd Twenty-five. This one is not quite as old, but I'm thinking late 50s.

 

[VoodooSan]

All out of stingy brims. Fed IV today.

Very nice! I love the little, unique details in this one.

 

[Blare]

Gorgeous! And that ribbon is a PERFECT compliment to the hat.

Thank you Mark. Randy definitely made the right choice on that one.

Stetson Royal Deluxe Open Road. An all time favorite.
I got this on eBay a few years ago. A VERY lucky find. It popped up on a Buy it Now for real cheap, It was only up for a few minutes when I made my move. These are hard to come by (or very expensive) in my size. It's got some mileage on it, but a little patina is good.

Wonderful hat, Rick.

Nice Twenty-Five, Don! And yesterday’s unlined Stetson was a beaut too.

 

[The Shoe]

Very nice, Gary.! And the coat looks verrrrrry interesting!

Thanks, Voo. The coat is a Bolini. Although single breasted, it has a bit of a pea coat feel to it. Here’s a couple of old shots with this coat and some Hornskovs.

My second hat for the day. I participated in a Christmas event with some of my students today. Rather than a Santa hat, I went with the bright red Barbisio that Stefan threw in at no cost for Etsuko on a recent purchase. It drew a mountain of positive comments and attention.

You want the Stingy Mas... here they are.

They have not come out of their shelters for a long time.

They are confined in a old hats box placed above a wardrobe and often the season passes without them coming down.

Today winter solstice opens the parade a Barbisio Titan - Qualità Superlativa.
It is one of the best Barbisio hats in the post World War era. The finishing is superlative and the felt too.

The color is "Silver" and is mentioned on the paper label as well as "Beaver"

One of the very rare Italian hats in my possession where beaver is mentioned as a component.
It is not my size, it is large, but who cares

Have a nice weekend!

A most excellent Stratoliner for Saturday shenanigans.
