What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Short Balding Guy]

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

Stetson Wanderer

View attachment 749867

I have never seen a Wanderer in real life. This is truly a dreamy hat. Thanks for sharing of late.

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.
View attachment 749868
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.

Thanks for sharing your requisite collection of hats sir. A pleasure. Cheers.

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?

The Knox's are such classy fedoras. Paired with coffee - excellent!

Johann Gärner, Gärner Hüte, "9535U", Back Bow, possibly 1960s and a recent find.

Back bows can look appealing! Excellent share.

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.

You and your dog are looking sharp! I always vote for more dog and hat pics. Thanks for sharing sir.

30’s Stetson Standard in Crush Weight

Yet another dreamy hat. I went back and searched the Stetson ad for Crush Weight - excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Out for Indian curry in a 60s Akubra Pocketweight Stylemaster.

Jeff; Love the non-standard (something other than black fedora). I am teasing. Your black hats are worn proudly and that comes through on your hat shares. Cheers, Eric -

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!

I do not quote your posts enough - I look forward to them. Thanks for sharing.

No problem Eric. I don't quote enough too, but enjoy every hat you and other FL members are posting here every single day! Keep them coming!

 

[Bamaboots]

Cheers on the hat and glorious shirt combo. Curious minds wish to know what boots are paired with the sharp duds?


Thanks for sharing your special hats.

Eric -

Thank you, Eric. Much appreciated. The shirt is a 60’s Pendleton from their High Grade Western Wear line. There was no dry spot to sit and take an action shot with the boots today but I was wearing these black cherry elephants from Jesse Bogle. Thanks for asking.

 

[Bamaboots]

Tasty.

Thank you, Jim.

I picked up another Stetson derby from the 1930's recently. As I mentioned on my show this morning, it has a small paint stain on the brim binding and underside brim felt that I am not certain I am going to address.

 

[carouselvic]

the Wanderer is not. Marked as such. It does match ads in all maters. I have never seen one the is marked “the Wanderer”

 

[Blare]

Dang that is a sharp lid. Love the outside pics. Eric

Thank you Eric. As much as I love the look of this hat. I love that I am reminded of its backstory when I wear it. This and one other I have were originally owned by a WWII hero a police chief in Poland who saved countless lives nd lived a year of his life himself in an attic running a sort of Underground Railroad so to speak.

Sweet Mother of Bobo the Clown!! I need a stiff drink and a cigarette after viewing that beauty.

Gelot black with backbow today!!

Another cool morning... another Akubra... This one a Boomerang. Thing its the last of my "bigger" Akubras.... will start hauling out the more modest town hats soon

 

[carouselvic]

Borsalino Savoy

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Always a pleasure to see your special hats.

Thanks Eric. And your’s too!

 

[jeffgarf]

It is a Schoble, it is certainly noble and I was fortunate enough to buy it from Mr. @BobHufford. It's a Beaver Fifteen with some mileage on it, but that is certainly part of its appeal to me. Thanks, Bob, for selling it.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Good morning folks.

For evening shennigans I wore an Akubra Campdraft. This the TFL version with a 2.5" brim.

After relocating snow this morning (in a cap) I switched to a Knox Vagabond King. It has glorious felt and clean features. A real pleasure to wear.

Cheers, Eric -

It's a sunny day, and the temperature has risen a bit

Today we celebrate the full colors of autumn.

Huckel Eta "Seal Velour" made in Czechoslovakia and sold in Le Havre, France. Size 6 or 59 cm. or 7 3/8 in US
Like most Huckels made before the war and immediately afterward, and for a good while afterward, the quality is exquisite.

Every now and then, I'd like to discover a deposit of velour felts and be able to touch them simultaneously to get the feeling. It would be great!

I dusted off the velour, the pile, and anything else I've worked with felt with a fur.
Thank you for all your compliments, which are mutual, and have a good day to all of you fellow hat-lovers.
