What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[alanfgag]

Two winners back to back.

Gotta love a lid that you can put a lid on... and that embroidered liner is good to the last drop.

Choice choices today.

Today I wore my recently received Lord & Taylor derby. Is it possible to fall in love with a derby?... I'm thinking yes! More pictures here.

 

[RBH]

Man... since I was a kid I wanted a derby. Now I remember why.
LOOKS GREAT !!!!

So does one even wear a hat to a "My Chemical Romance/ Blink 182" concert? Should it be a wool I wouldn't be heartbroken to lose, or a derby with a steampunk approach, or what?

A baseball cap... Turned sideways of course.

I'm thinking that this is a fine lid to fall head over heels for! Congrats, Alan!

Ale, that has got to be one of the finest looking rollable lids I have ever seen! :thumb:

Thanks, Al. It's one of my most treasured hats. Check out the inside tip sticker (is that how they're called?) I've never come across another one like this.

I have one that was paper covered with the same shaped label but the logo is different. The paper was very dry and crumbly so I removed it.

Mine is a lightweight, but reeded sweat and certainly not intended to roll for travel. Yours is a beauty.

 

[delectans]

Exceptional, Ale and Alan!

 

[Aureliano]

Nice, Alan! Mine has the oil skin/paper in rough shape. It's cracked all over as you can see in the picture. I just haven't gathered the courage to remove it... it makes me sad somehow lol

I'm a fan of those rollable Borsalinos guys.

This evening I'm wearing one of my Mallorys, waiting for my daughters flight to arrive at Logan.

Great looking old Mallory, perfect for a family reunion!

Optimo, Natural Silverbelly

Gorgeous early Autumn afternoon in Minnesota yesterday, while waiting for Ryan and his violin lesson at St. Olaf College in Northfield. Photos are un-enhanced and straight from my camera.




First splash of Fall colors.



Intensely blue sky.

 

[DJH]

Thanks, Al.

Short reunion though, after she got back from London I dropped her at a friend's place and she's now on the train to NY to go to Fashion's Night Out this evening.

I certainly didn't have that much fun at 18!

Last evening - Penney's Marathon

 

[Neophyte]

That's a sharp little hat, Rodkins!

Delectans, that Optimo is brilliant (both in quality and in color). Great pics.

 

[delectans]

Thank you, Alex, I appreciate your kind comments.

 

[alanfgag]

Great vintage tops there DJH and Rodkins. AL, you photos show well the beautiful finish on Optimo's new line of beaver felts.

Thanks for the comments on my new/old derby hat!

have a great day,
Alan

The silverbelly Optimo is fantastic, delectans. One of my favorites.
