What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Daniele Tanto]

A new arrival, brought about by my fondness for Cappellificio Cervo. Yes, that's right.

Whenever a hat from that brand appears in my size, I always have a small, soft spot in my heart.
This one has one of my favorite colors in the hat world. Cervo size 60, recently made, about twenty years ago.

The felt reminds me of those used by Tonak for their "shiny" blue color. I'll have to take a look at my blue Tonaks to see if my hunch is correct.

The hat has a manufacturing label that reads: Akron Lux and a few numbers.
Its shape recalls that of the hats worn by Italian brigands in the second half of the 19th century.
Wide brims and a low crown. The felt is beautiful, malleable, and often changes color.

I'm always interested, even on Monday mornings, in your hats that speak to me.

I wish we had more of those appear here in the States. I have one older and one newer (relatively speaking - newest is over 20 y.o.), but they are very nice and those colors are fantastic.

Jeff, I understand you, but never before have there been such a magnificence of small sizes on the Italian market.
I'm adding them to my wish list to feel good in my relentless search.
Yes, I know it's back despite the various treatments
Anyway, I'll let you know the contents of the boxes of hats for sale in your size.

Heading back for a couple of work weeks in Tampa Bay in the same Borsalino Vercelli III I wore last week back to Atlanta. Got an older Borsalino in the case going up for sale later this week

A strong statement in a rich color... nice work to find an outfit to complement it so well.

Another brown Borsalino Loduela (thin ribbon western style hat) - also with a color name (monlov) that defies translation. This version of the Borsalino manufacturing tag with logo and color border is an early one that might have origins back before the Second World War, though I am quite sure this was sold at Wanamaker's after the war's end.

Coming right after @AbbaDatDeHat I thought you were quoting him.

Nicely done, Rob!

Etsuko wore a Maxim for a visit to the hospital.

I wore a Barbisio to take her there.

A relatively rare stingy for me.
