What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[1mach1]

Query: Is there a REAL Harv? Or is there a bit of Harv in each of us??? Like Santa.

Sincerely,

Harv

Be well... Be kind... Have fun!

Hahahaha.
Y'all crazy. [emoji14]

Lobbia Borsalino in a cold morning for the week dedicated to "Antica Casa di Alessandria" production

It arrived from Italy in bad condition. It was sold in Bratislava (Czech Republic)

The paper label was ripped and it not readable
From the liner it could be made before WWII (It is my presumption)

The color is for sure "Mirtillo" and the ribbon is original like the curled brim with some damage
BSHW did the restoration in a superb way

The felt is thick and very malleable

This Lobbia (as we call this type of hats) was a big dilemma because I did not know if it was worth to restore it, then color and shape convinced me.
Mirtillo (blueberry) is one of my favorite colors of Borsalino production

Thanks for the likes on the Borsalino Trionfo of yesterday

Beautiful!

Be well... Be kind... Have fun!

A rare late morning allows me to get a shot using actual sunlight for a change. I want to thank mmbarnes for the inspiration to wear this hat and ofcoursemyhorse for allowing me to purchase this wonderful hat from him. Some of the most malleable felt I've touched and such a pleasure to wear.

Great hat, Mark and worn with aplomb! I'm honored to have played a small role in getting it onto your head.

Homburgs ROCK!


Be well... Be kind... Have fun!

I can say the same in my Country.
And also here in the Lounge. I keep seeing tiny tiny hats all over the place.

To counter that, today a BIG HUGE black hat
Stetson Tom Mix

Always love the black ones, Joao! But you need to be more serious about wider brims...

The hat is a Monterrey Sauza Panama.

I have hats but I hardly wear them. It feels so weird in public since nobody wears them. All I see are snapbacks. And it doesn't help that I'm an introvert.

Welcome aboard. My name is Matt (Harv was already taken) and I'm in Virginia Beach.

So many wise (and entertaining) things have been written about jumping into the hat fun that I don't have much to add except that you won't regret it. It's some of the best fun there is. And the folks around the lounge really are great and supportive. Long story short: it's a hoot.

Be well... Be kind... Have fun!

Thanks gents. Once again more great hats and Miss Esther shines brightly among us fellas.
Mark, almost didn't recognize you with the facial hair and glasses. Great look with the Hommie.

One of my favorites of yours, Harv (if in fact HARV is your real name). And it's looking kick-ass as usual.

BEYOND awesome, Steve!! Your hats are always the best! You're looking lean but not mean under there!!

I'm Spartacus! Er, I mean, I'm Harv!
Wearing my beat up Dobbs Jet 707 and a jacket dated 1954. Visited my girlfriend's resting place today after one year. Glad this forum exists to brighten my day up.

Yesterday, after seeing Harv's fantastic Resistol, someone made the comment about not seeing very many non-westerns of that brand.

It inspired me to bring out the Resistol Beaver Twenty homburg that rlclark was kind enough to direct my way. It is the only Resistol I own and a beautiful hat with very fine, supple felt. I can't recall seeing pics of other Resistol homburgs, but I am sure that they are out there.

For some reason, I hesitate to put a pinch in this one.

Have a great Tuesday folks. [emoji111]

Thanks Adrian, you have some excellent Borsalino to sell one is very similar

This hat is one of my favorites of yours. Love the color and the look. Very impressive!

Thanks. This Lobbia Borsalino was a good choice and BSHW did the best to give it the original beauty

Beautiful!

Many thanks companion of hommies

Ok. Question #2. Where's everyone from? I'm out here in southern Cali and nobody wears real hats.

You can call me "nobody".... haha. I know what you mean though. It's rare to see a fedora in SoCal. Like others have said, put a hat on and step outside. You might get a comment or two, but you will also receive an occasional compliment.

Good morning guys.

Lovely

Great hat and great KUHL jacket, Harv. I have that same one...wish I had that hat!

Beautiful Resistol , Matt. Love seeing the fall colors in the background. We don't get a whole lot of that here.
