40s White Label Lee that came with period correct Lee hat box. Just came in this evening. Nice felt quality in typical fedora colors. 7 1/4 but fits like a perfectly sized cloud! Of course with the White Label (second from top) the leather sweatband is high quality, as well. Love it!

The bespoke Susquehana is today's hat, on this glorious autumnal sunny morning. It's an early start, I have an appointment with an oncologist surgeon at half nine, to assess this wretched hernia, so I had better get a move on.

Hope your appointment goes well. I have mentioned both yourself and @fabiovenhorst as two of the most dapper gentlemen we have here on TFL. One thing I always wanted to ask you but never got around to it ... what brand of shoes are you wearing in your photos?

Today, I am going live at 11am EST for "Hat Tuesday #2" while wearing the same Borsalino Velour I posted yesterday. I had a great conversation with Nathan (@The Lost Cowboy) and Jeff (@jeffgarf) about Borsalino and the use of the term "pre-bankruptcy" and I figured I would open this up for discussion during my livestream today. Pop in if you want to talk about Borsalino or anything else hat-related.

WOW! 57 degrees this morning... I can wear a jacket. We have a couple days of a false autumn before we heat back up for a couple of weeks
Playing with the tall Resistol this morning.. Still havent decided on a full time bash. Tried a more or less level one first... its a tall boy!
Tried a bit of a Montana slope variant..... think Ill wear it out like this today
Still have a bit of brim edge cleanup and straightning to do, but its getting there. If anyone has ideas and experience toning down these tall crowns, Im all ears

Here's one we don't see every day. A SuperDuper from Italy. As many know, these guys incorporate some funky stuff into the design of their hats. This one had a small stone attached near the top of the ribbon on the hat band. Just a quick snip-snip and I have a fairly nice blue fedora with a 5 inch crown and a 2 1/2 inch brim. Not vintage by any means, but good for another overcast day.

That actually made me smile. It reminded me of my childhood in Brooklyn, NY when we would take annual field trips to Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Since 1977, they featured a ride called the "sooperdooperLooper", which is a steel roller coaster. The sooperdooperLooper was the first inverting roller coaster at the park, which sold t-shirts with the slogan "I survived the sooperdooperLooper".

Thanks Randall! That White Label Lee is fun. You guys really come up with gems. I wonder what your hat room looks like?
Thanks Rick. It had a puggarree ribbon originally but I like it much better without. It's a favorite and would get more head time if I had more confidence in the sweatband.

Good day hat folks. My morning dog soirée was under the brim of a VS Westin. This was inspired by the vtg.Stetson Westin model (edge treatment vs. bound edged Whippet). It is a silvermist beaver Artlite felt with gray ribbon.

A majestical Majestic, Nathan. I particularly love the liner. So cool.
I like the look of the tall crown, Rick, so I wouldn't change it. But that's just my opinion.
Love the leather jacket. Nice constrating match with the Resistol.
