What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

It was a morning with a sudden downpour, and the moment the rain stopped its patter, I took this Borsalino out of the closet.

The color is "Silver," its curious name is "Sanvulcan," and the size is a 6—meaning a 59
View attachment 814947
It was sold in Northern Europe, as indicated by the "Ecther" marking, though no specific city or country is listed.

It is very old; this is evident from the paper label and the size "6 1/2" written in pen—which differs from the size marked on the sweatband. Its age is also betrayed by a few moth holes.

Be that as it may, it is magnificent.
The credit goes to Stefan, who always delights me with memorable hats during our exchanges.
Thank you for your kind words about the Panizza "Foulard"; I return the sentiment with great pleasure.

"Magnificent" is exactly the right word for this one, Daniele!!!

Today a Hat I forgot I had...great for Fall wear. A Dobbs Dawson in "Coca Mix" (which is a really awesome heather felt). Darker of course than how it photographs....but has such a color range, wish I could show it better. A little over 4 5/8 as creased, 2 1/2 brim so Stratoliner like. I got it several years ago NOS....I don't believe I have ever shared it here before......

Goo day hat wearers. My morning dog walk was enjoyed under the brim of a Borsolino Misto.

Yard shennanigans under the brim of a Lee Commentator (sage green hued felt) that has an underwelted brim.

Cheers, Eric -

Two more beauties, Eric. ESPECIALLY that heathered (or heather-appearing), Borsalino!!

Don't think I've worn this one in a bit, a brown Mallory Aristocrat quality, sweatband remade by B.M. Franklin and Co.



Edit - I buried the lede on this one, the triple- stitch over welt brim.

Yesterday the Borsalino’s color was "Argento"; today, the Barbisio’s color is "Sesia"—named after a river in Northern Italy.

As you can see, they are very similar, except for the Barbisio felt finish, which is explicitly labeled as "chamois"—meaning it has a perfect peach-like texture.

This hat was in my "expendable" pile because it fits a bit too tightly on my head; so, if anyone likes the color and the contrasting ribbon, please drop me a line.

It is a Barbisio "Titan," size 59, and is in perfect condition.
It is a medium-weight hat, and the felt was designed for damp weather.

Heavy rain started pouring down right after I took the photos; I had planned to show you another hat, but that’s no longer possible. I’ll save it for another day.
Thank you all for the positive comments on the Borsalino Sanvulcan; please know that I always keep an eye on your hats, and I appreciate seeing new ones to admire every day.

Back from morning runs. Powers out here so I fired up a good cigar out back. Giving one of the Resistol "airliner" hats a little air. This one an 880 ( as in convair 880)

Love the wide ribbon and bow treatment, Rick. The liner is really cool, too.

Resistol sure knew how to catch one's eye.
