Wonderful Borsalino with sublime brim edge stitching, as only Borsalino could do. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Here's another nutria hat with the Fray mark. Have to admire a rolled leather sweatband that can survive a century of use and still remain supple. This hat arrived with a wide ribbon in poor condition. Not sure if it was original but I removed it and added this thin horsehair band. It's a... -

Not at all. The embossed Fray sweatband was a workhorse and remains remarkably flexible to this day. There were softer Frays but this one fits me well and still wears comfortably after 100+ years of use. -

Any Hebrew speakers in the Lounge?
Well done with Google translate - who needs a NYC Hebrew School education! A side note - B'nei Brak is a city near Tel Aviv and a center of the Haredi community in Israel. The Israeli TV show Shtisel gives an interesting look at this ultra-orthodox community and is very well done. We enjoyed it.- alanfgag

I need some HAT help!!!!
The 1960s saw a revival in the popularity of the derby/bowler... think The Avengers. I've only owned one from this period - a Stetson - which was indeed quite soft and could be creased if one had a mind to. Also different is the brim curl which has lost the tight lines of the d'Orsay curl seen... -
I need some HAT help!!!!
Guessing your hat is from Carl Meyer's of Lexington KY. From the manufacturing details, I'd guess it's a hat from the 1960s-1970s or thereabouts... but just a guess. It is not a pre-WWII stiff hat. -

What hat are you waiting for today?
Saksy Beast... a furry survivor from NYC's finest survivor. A hat I was thrilled to find years ago and still thrill to wear. -

1930s Stetson 5X Clear Beaver Quality western
Intriguing to look at the auction photos more closely... If the LOTXXXX sequence is a useful marker, this hat looks c.1930 to me... earlier than I think of for that front of sweatband STETSONXXXXX stamp style. But it's been a while since I paid close attention. A nice find for someone - thanks... -

How do folks react to your hat wearing?
I've taken to wearing berets much of the time... and almost always when I travel. It is much easier to choose - just pick a few colors - and no worrying about whether a hat will fare safely through airport security or have a place to rest in a restaurant. I've also noticed how many more nice... -
Berets, Anyone?
Traveling mostly with berets these days. So much less to think about than toting a brimmed hat through airports, in restaurants... just have to decide which colors to take with. My black Elosegui is excellent in foul weather so is always in the mix. Here it is headed to a wedding in D.C. with a... -

A couple of wears from the past week... the hats have been seen around these parts before. -
Playboys on Parade!
Yep. The decorative brim stitch was a later addition.
