    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    What a substantial velour, Steve! Love the shape and form too. The liner is the cherry (or should I say strawberry perhaps) on top

    G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. <1936

    Yeah, keep going! The tiny sizes are even more exciting ;)

    G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. <1936

    Fantastic! Great that we still get to see these Italian soft felt oldies from time to time

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    Very much enjoyed this fantastic parade of German craftsmanship, Matt! Great additions The tradition with VHG continues, out of 3 hats intented for me, all ended up being 2-3 sizes too large...how awkward is that?

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Thanks Stefan! I figured with 8 or so employees currenlty, they must have stopped making hats long time ago, perhaps right after the Monza factory closed

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Phenomenal woollies, Matt! Thanks for sharing! I am glad you went for the melone too ;) I should also second Steve's compliments regarding your wife's good taste and I'll add that I am glad she is not addicted, that would put my box in danger :)

    THE SATIN FINISH/LONG HAIR CLUB

    Amazing, Matt! I am at a stage where I am hardly excited about another black velour, but the details of this one make it quite unique. Love it

    It's not your fault, Stefan. They asked for it

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Amazing Gorasgu! Lovely form, shape and finish. Unsure about the age and I would have bet it to have a misto indication too. Still fantastic

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Couldn't end this year any better, Stefan! Hard to pick one, just for the sake of it I'll go with the Barbisio Lontra- love the finish (I bet though, that British made Stetson will get the most votes)

    Movie hats

    It's been a while since I last saw the British version, can't really recall how it compares to the Hollywood's remake. The mise-en-scene on this latter one is mind blowing. Thanks for the tip, Terry! I'll definatelly check them side-by-side

    Movie hats

    An old favorite, "Gaslight" 1944, Gothic Noir, very atmospheric Not too many hats here, but some interesting stiff felts (a light color Cambridge bowler amongst them) and toppers, as appropriate for the era Even if it's not your style after all, there's always Ingrid ;)

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    Protester injured in a strike in Athens, Greece (exact date unknown) Backbow with a crease clip, usually found on wool hats from that era

    Italian makers trademarks

    Thanks again, Stefan! All great but the green hat Ads ;) I see now why Daniele was so skeptical about the German "Bantam" I've sent him despite the German labels

    Movie hats

    Regardless the movie he plays in, Edward G. Robinson never fails to serve as inspiration, hat-wise, with his old-school creases and upbrim styling From "The woman in the window", "The stranger" and "Scarlet street"

    Italian brands hats

    Another treasure, Stefan! Thanks! The Ad with the wool felts "production" is to fall in love with ;) So there are 9 grand prix won from 1910 and after and 8 (or more) before 1900?

    The Lords hat

    Santa just left me two hats under the tree-what a good boy I must have been this year :) In my letter I've highlighted it needs to be pre-war, but I think I can make an exemption this time F.R. Tripler & Co Lord's, in Midnight blue Tight brim curl Not an expert in American hats but I think...
