What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Shoe]

One of my very favourites to support my students in their English speech contest today. Borsalino.

So proud of my students, who took first and second place.

Gannon this morning for a chilly sun bath. 23F degrees isn't zero but I'll take it!

NOW you’re looking comfortable, Nathan! (Yes, that sweet lid sure helps.)

The Fléchet X Velour rather appeals. How did you get the accute accent over the letter 'e?' However, the Borsalino Vaiato does it this week, what a fabulous brim!

My bespoke Gamble & G*nn (it rhymes with Nun but the censor blanks it out,) was the choice for church this morning, I took a chance on the weather, the cost of this hat made me think about keeping it dry.

That says more about the teacher, I think!
How do you say “Mazel Tov” in Japanese?!!
Beautious Borsa for the event.

Thanks. Not so sure about that. Two very motivated students. What was actually more gratifying for me was the junior high school student who came back to practice with me at the primary school. She didn’t place, but I was just as proud of her.

Happy Hanukkah, Charlie!

Sour cream or applesauce?

On the first day of Stingymas I chose this Stetsonian with a paltry 2 7/8" brim.

Beautiful lid, Rick; a crown for a king!!

Not pure beaver, but as far as I know this Stetson has yet to be bashed. There is some wavering where the plastic dust cover squeezes the crown, though. Those plastic covers are not intended for this size crown.

That is another stunner, Alan. Your collection never ceases to amaze me.

Thank you Stefan... the feeling is mutual and you perseverance for posting is enjoyed and appreciated.

Another wonderful week of hats yet again, Stefan.

I don't usually pick a favourite as they're always all praise worthy. This time, however, my envy was drawn to the Tirard. What a delicious chocolate brown. It certainly lives up to its name.

The Fléchet velour is a great find. The look of the softness of the felt, the liner colours, and the art deco designs on the sweatband all make it a very desirable hat. Congrats!

Day two of StingyMas has me digging into Stefan’s @steur Magical Mystery care package from earlier this year. And this beautiful Rembrandt Staalmeester gets the call. I actually like how he had it with the tight brim curl on the sides. It’s a lovely medium to light grey with just a shade darker ribbon.

Ok, so I'm not really wearing it, but wanted to post so I could wish everyone who celebrates a Happy Chanukah. This is a unique piece in my collection, an "up hat" or a hoiche hat in Yiddish. Worn by certain chassidic Jews, as well as certain important non-chassidic rabbis, these are now frequently being made by Fernandez y Roche. This one is from Kova Hats in Brooklyn, a long-standing hat store catering to the Jewish community. Interestingly, Kova is Hebrew for hat.
