What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Fantastic! NWA wrestling was my youth. Wait! Did you know Chief Wahoo McDaniel? Loved him.

Unfortunately I did not have the chance to meet Wahoo.

Trying out a new hatband one of the hats today. The old ribbon I had done to match the brim binding just didnt suit me. I had used a braided horsehair band on a recent renovation and really liked it... so I figured Id give one a try on this hat too. Definately different!

Last weekend I got to make the trip up to Jacksonville, FL to celebrate the induction of some friends and colleagues into the same wrestling Hall of Fame I had the honor of entering a few years back as part of the Class of 2020… as well as to assist my friend and 2025 honoree in his travel to the event as he has suffered major medical trauma in the last few years and it was important to me that he get to have that experience. I wore my Rogers Peet Company Trivley (made by Mac Lachlan Hats) for the festivities. And the hat then stayed on my head most of this past week. A lot to love about this hat with its Cavanagh edge brim and ample crown.

Very cool, Joe. Looks like you enjoyed that. The hat and crease! match the occasion!

To avoid the scorching heat of these days in Italy, but also in Europe it is doing damage, I get up early in the morning.

I go for a walk as long as the sun allows it. I meet runners, couples and old ladies and gentlemen who savor the relative freshness of the morning.

This morning I was accompanied by a generic panama, made in Ecuador with a fantastic weave, but very low quality finishing. The ribbon needed to be redone and some adjustments to the shape would have been useful.
So it was not for this that it was a size smaller than mine and for another that remained as it had arrived.

Have a good day to all of you and congratulations on your daily hats

Without a doubt my weekly ranking of Stefan's hats is as follows in order of appearance.
Borsalinio wins hands down

Grazie, Daniele. Important to stay cool in these conditions. Even up here in the north it's getting ridiculous.

At the start of a rather long journey to my daughter's wedding, I am bringing a 1990's era Borsalino in a discontinued dark gray that I got from the dead stock that @besdor sells at Bencraft Hatters, if you know to ask. Got it last week and I love it. The Sorrento V, I believe, was exclusive to his store. View attachment 714223

Nice one, Jeff. I believe Besdor had a few models exclusive to his store.

Very nice, Mark! Does it have a “youthful smartness” liner?

A stunning hat with an even more stunning weave! Fantastic.

Definitely more "snap" than the ribbon, Rick. I like it!
