Hey folks!
National Hat Day? Yeah right.
Like any of us need an excuse, reason or justification to put on a hat! :)
Flying aboard the Flagship this fine sunny Sunday.

Wow, some truly outstanding hats here today and last night, I feel like I'm slumming it wearing the same furry hat 3 days in a row because of the cold and snow. My excuse is I needed something to cover my ears.

Went to the local antiques fair today hoping to find a nice hat, but was disappointed. The only decent one on sale was an old Borsalino with original box, but unfortunately it was 2 sizes too large for me and too expensive to buy just to sit in the box and be pretty. I did pop it on my head for a minute just to make sure it didn't fit, so I've decided it belongs in this thread, as I did technically wear it.

Too many great hats since I last checked this place, and no time to comment on all of them individually, so you'll have to do with the like button. A few comments anyway:

Resistol kitten finish. My favorite hat. Paired up with some Harris tweed.
And my nephew in a very small 50s "custom" fedora I scooped up for a dollar.

I can see why it's your favourite hat, suits you very well. Your nephew is just too cute, well done on getting him that hat!

Two hats today.

BGCD this morning.

The borsalino wins for me, but then I can't resist a wide ribbon ;)

Better late than never, it is still today for a little while. A multiple hat extravaganza day. Took my wife down to NW Hats to pick up my new creation from Mike, and she got measured for a hat. Now the decision process begins, at least there is a spark. Mike not only had my Olcott Homburg done, but some refurb work as well. He reblocked, flanged and put in a new sweat on a Royal Deluxe Stetson that my ham handed attempts at stretching made it look like it had a dunce cap taper. He also restored a Christy's Bowler that had a trashed liner and sweat. Now I have two more daily drivers. Got home and had to take a 3 hour nap to recover. Sorry for the delayed post. More in other threads.

Triple hat score! Fantastic!

This is a 1930s hat.Sweatband stitching rotted away so I took out the liner .I can't remember the brand.

Nice try ;)
Thank you.
Yes, silk. Can you tell I like flowery things.
Well it was always worth a try ;) We'll have to talk hats next time I'm in Belgium...

Happy National Hat day all. Celebrating with this Knox Superfine Homburg.

Happy Sunday all!!

Yes! Superfine indeed, fantastic homburg, looks good with that crease too!

Happy National Hat Day!

It's clear and cold here. Down to 14F last night. Off to church in my Christmas present, a custom Penman Steel beaver felt fedora.

That's a real beauty, perfect christmas present!


Had this one sitting in the box for a few weeks and finally had to break it out!

Very nice! I'm glad you decided to take it out of the box at last. Looks great with that tie and overcoat.

Sneak? I'm offended. :eek:

Depending on which thread you're following, some call them work boots. To me they're high top, cap-toe oxfords. Damn fine whatever one may call them. You'd probably need to wear socks with them, Bob. :D
"Sneak" ??? Not really. You make em (thankfully) quite obvious. Lol and yes Bama. Socks. Unless I wanna look like L'il Abner...
