What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

On the Ninth Day of StingyMas

Borsalino Colombo XX

 

[hatsRme]

I may need to do doubles. Borsalino slimbrim for today’s stingy stubmission. Vvveerrryy slow internet here at the pond (7mb!) has slowed down StingyMas for a few days…


Easy way to extend any brim is to use a wide angle lens.

Hurry! It’s the winter solstice, and we don’t have much daytime today.

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.

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

Thanks, Rick. I do need to pull out the tripod more often. Usually it’s one or the other of us behind the lens.

Barbisio at its finest was certainly up there with the best of them! Superb longhair, Daniele.

Beautiful, Jack. That bit of sunshine makes the hat really shine. Gorgeous.

I'm wearing my Hornskov Walker today, the pictures make the weather look nicer than it has been for most of the day. I love the triple stitched underwelt on this brim.

So the jolly elf showed up with 2 new hats.

First is an Optimo open crown made with a felt called “round midnight”.



Next is a blue Optimo Manhattan fedora. I need to work on my camera skills as this doesn’t look blue, but it is.

Thanks Stefan. As someone said up thread the OR RD is really an exceptional felt. You don’t have to feel the hand, you can see it.
