Cap day for me: a union-lable Capas.

We went to see Wicked Part II and I anticipated a full house. I didn't want to sit for 3 hours with a full brim in my lap. The seats next to me ended up being empty, but I enjoyed wearing the cap anyway.

After the film, I took a chance to do some Black Friday shopping. I bought a gift for $24 when the regular price was $56. Wow!

However, I sure was glad I wasn't trying to get into the Lego store.

Seen that game played around here before.
Another classic is a bidder keeps beating your bid up to your all in bet the farm bid then you get a second chance offer from the seller for your bid because the winner backs out.
Ebay shenanigans 101.

Another brief spell of sunshine before storms this afternoon... A nice 3x OR in the sun

On a side note, yesterday Mr Bear decided a Bluetooth earpiece looked tasty.... I sure hope he doesnt develop an appetite to low hanging hats lol. At least it happened on Black Friday when everything on Amazon is on sale cheap!

When I find an Albertini-branded hat, I'm always tempted to buy it because of its rarity on the Italian market.

"C. Albertini & C., Intra, exhibited numerous fine fur-trimmed felt hats for men. The company, founded in 1817, specializes in the manufacture of very fine men's hats and felt for hatmaking. It was the first factory to introduce the mechanical manufacturing system to Italy."
This one struck me as worthy of note for its workmanship and finish.

It's worth noting that the Albertini brand merged at some point in its existence with the large Panizza group, which had brought together the hat factories on Lake Maggiore. Albertini. Albertini set up or collaborated with the English hat industries (Stockport I think) starting from the 1950s.

This one in particular has an ultra-classic shape for Italian hatmaking. The felt is solid and holds its shape once formed. There's no label because the paper label is completely white, and the lining is sewn on. Therefore, it's a hat from the classic era of Italian hatmaking. It's a new arrival.

Thank you for your appreciation. I reciprocate heartily

I love the dimensions on this one.
Great hat!

Wow! Another Sunday full of magnificent hats, and hard decisions!! I'm going with the Tirard as #1, the Brummel's Luxor as #2, and a tie between the Barbisio and the Wehrmeir for #3. A truly splendid array of hats this week, Stefan. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Mark. Much appreciated.

 

[steur]

Love that Barbisio Stefan, but the GB Borsalino fu Lazzaro just edges it, rain spatters and all.

Thank you, Robert.

Yes, they could be siblings. Is the felt on yours very soft? Mine is extremely soft with a wonderful hand. Alan at King's Umbrella did not know the provenance of the felt or even what it is: I believe it might be hare and beaver mixed.
