What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

About this time every year, my yard becomes a sea of bald cypress needles.
Looks like it's going to be another Sunday of raking.
Good news is, my Sterkowski is up to the task!

Steady cool rain this morning.... Out comes the Campdraft Deluxe ( Cedar Brown) for the coffee and errand run. Storms moving in in a bit so this is shaping up to be a mostly indoors day

It's a gloomy day between the bays (Tampa and Clearwater). Wearing a whippet-like, Pilgrim with a shark gill bow.

First of all, I want to thank you for the comments and likes over the past few days. I sincerely reciprocate.

We're starting the week with a Super Panizza "Nero" with a black ribbon.

It measures 58 cm and, surprisingly, it fits my head perfectly. Every now and then, I get a little lucky.
The felt has a very unique finish; it's a short fur that feels like velvet, medium weight, and very pliable.

It's probably a hat from the 1950s because it has a high finish and quality that Panizza hats from the 1970s are slowly losing.

I remind lovers of Italian hats that Panizza was an independent manufacturer of felt hats with short, medium and long fur trim.

Morning coffee under the OPS-era Knox 20.

This one is "ovalized sixteeenths"? Does that mean you could choose how many sixteenths you want it ovalized?

Asked Darrell (@Darrell2688 ) to make this one for me, if I remember it was my second Busted Hat

Sunday afternoon, on the Chap Grand Winter Flaneur walk. I believe this was taken while headed North along Charing Cross Road. I've posted about this hat before on the "what hat are you wearing today" thread. It's one of these: https://www.hatcentre.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=153&product_id=144 I've had this one for about eighteen months now, I think; first bought the navy version in 2023. A real find for a new production hat. Thick and luxurious-feeling rabbit. The navy one bashed perfectly dray, while this one required a little steam. Somewhere I put up a post on these (in the new hats thread again, I think) showing this model right beside an Akubra Federation. This model is just a fraction more sloped than the Akubra as the crown reaches the top, but very little in it. The brim is an even 75mm / 3" all round. The ribbon I do find more pleasing than the Akubra's; it's taller, with the bow being just a little more dramatic. There's also a wind trolley, which is not something I'd plan to use (if it's blowy, I tend to reach for a cap), but it's nice to have it as an 'in case', and I like it as a point ofc visual interest on the hat. The crown height is great; I gather the model was designed to be worn over a Yarmulke, so it really favours that 30s/40s crown shape. Well worth looking into, especially if you're in the UK.
