What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Michael A]

First of all thank you from my daughter Ginevra, and mine for your kind words yesterday.
Today sun and super comfortable temperature. The coat is too heavy
I continue with the felt in green or similar colors

Barbisio Classic

Felt is very nice as well as the color match with the ribbon

It is a vintage Barbisio in the forms and proportions in vogue here in Italy about forty years ago

Very comfortable......after the haircut it became a little large

Thank you for the appreciations regarding the Stetson Absinthe
Have a good Tuesday

Another great looking Barbisio. I really like that color combo. But I sure wish my hats got too big when I got a haircut. ha ha.

Nice looking hat Bob. It looks like it's nice felt and a great color too.

The stakes are high today, everyone looking great!!
Stingy brim for me today (sorry Joao) with a thirties vibe, made from wool braid.

Another great design Kuki. The wool braid makes a great looking hat. Works very well with the sweater and scarf too.

Hey all!
Wearing moe-riginal No.6, Winchester beaver in Navy.

Have a great day!

Nice work Moe. Are you going to be hanging out a shingle soon?

Lots of great hats again today I see, still not enough time and energy to have a better look or comment individually I'm afraid. Quick grainy pic from me - need to remember to take photos while there's still sunlight next time. Brown borsalino in need of some TLC after being packed for travelling, but still ok to wear. Ignore the bags under my eyes, I need more sleep. Being able to spend so much time with my extended family during the holidays is a real blessing and I am grateful for it, but it can also be exhausting. Love & light to all of you.

I think it looks like both the Borsa and you held up pretty well to the rigors of travel. Glad to hear you had a nice holiday.

Everyone's looking great this Tuesday evening. Sad news about Carrie Fisher passing away, though.

Thought I'd give my Stetson Nutria some head time.

Some Rock and Roll tunes from the king...

Gotta throw one in for the killer, too. Jerry Lee Lewis...

Hmmmmm... makes me think that some sort of photo-shopping for comparison testing might be in order.

Good day folks. Thanks for the hat/cap parade! I have enjoyed the hat/cap show the past few days as I have been traveling.

Back in town found me out and about early. Started the day with a Cordova Cap. The fabric of the cap is a favorite.

Grilled lunch in my vtg. Stetson Homburg. The inky blue felt is very luscious to the eye. It is extremely hdd to capture in a pic.

I am going over to a friends house to work out some acoustic guitar arrangements this afternoon. Wearing my Minnesota tuxedo and a Gannon (charcoal) for my trip.

Best, Eric -

Another great collection of hats and caps today Eric. I hope your travel was to someplace warmer than MN. I've heard it was rather nasty up there. To the northwest of you at least.

Quite an interesting Knox! You look sharp as usual today. Good to see the ground without snow up to your ankles!

Thanks Red. The hat is a nice soft velour and the color is kind of nice too. I guess it's something of their take on an alpine hat maybe.

Contemplating the number of hours I will be in a vehicle headed south soon. Ahhhhhhh. Well at least the Borsa will be with me.

May the Borsa be with you. Hope the trip goes smoothly.

Esther... Are you challenging me? I have been exercising great restraint. In fact it has been almost grown-up like (almost...). And I bet I could figure it out. But... I won't (probably). [emoji6]

That Borsalino fared quite well for being confined in a suitcase. Very nice.

Thanks The hat's almost as old as I am and has survived worse. Still, a bit of steaming wouldn't hurt...

Michael

Thank you Michael. I'm not going back home for a while yet, the hat has yet to survive the return journey... And so do I

 

[Tonio]

One of those wide brim Jewish Borsalino kind of days. This one has "Rosso X" imprinted in the sweat.

Thx Michael!

 

[Bob Roberts]

Beautiful hat and colour Bob!
The whipstitching on the brim was not original to the hat I take it? And if I remember correctly you have other hats with that finish... does that add durability? In any case, beautiful hat worn with style!
Edit: DUH!! I just realized my question had been asked and answered!

Thx Kuki. That was added. I have 2 others with Whipstitch. It doesn't add much durability or change the way the brim falls.

 

[moehawk]

Moeriffic!

Thanks mmb!

 

[moehawk]

As they say here in the States, "Stylin' " Kuki


Dang Moe, great work on that one.

Thank you, hato!

 

[moehawk]

Very impressive Moe! Looks like the same quality as a Borsalino or a Stetsonian!!

Thanks Red!
I don't deserve that much flattery, but I'll take it anyway!

Thanks Michael!
No shingle for me, my vision issues won't let me do the quality of work that I'd be comfortable charging for.
Only I know what the stitching looks like on my work...it aint purty. Thank goodness for wide ribbons!

Wore my Stetson Chatham today:

 

[Bob Roberts]

@Redfokker... Lots of current Borsalinos have their version of a whipstitch, too, Red.

Thats tru. The "Como" comes to mind. Nice hat but a bit too much crown taper for me and a big bit too much $$$.

There are other models with less taper, more filling.
