Thanks, I'll get there

Beautiful homburg. I love how varied your hat collection is. Does your son wear/appreciate hats at all or is he too old to think everything you do is awesome but too young to realise you are right?

Thanks Celia.

Gabe is now at the age where he appreciates the hats for their beauty and quality. And he seems to get a kick out of my describing what little I know of the history and workmanship involved.

Of course, as a 15 year old, he is searching for his own identity. So, right now he is more into death metal, anarchy and teenage existential despair. Vintage hats don't fit into the persona he's cultivating right now. That's cool with me. I want him to explore who he is. Plus, I get a tremendous kick out of him sharing and discussing his ideas with me.

There's plenty of time later for him to rediscover dad's awesomenessitude and the joy of fine headware. [emoji1]

Be well.

The words of a fantastic father !!!
Let him rock that music
Let him express himself
He will look back and appreciate your awesomeness for it
Oh how I remember being that kid

Thanks Ant.

I sure am not going to be trying to put the kibosh on him flying his freak flag.

And yeah...
me too.
Hell... some days I still am that kid!
I'm gonna go listen to some Gwar...

 

[mmbarnes]

The other day I was lamenting that I had no Borsalinos.

To shut up my whining, Bruno took it upon himself to send me this lovely Mirtillo homburg. It kills two birds: Borsalino and blue homburg.

From perusing Borsalino Brotherhood, it appears the label indicates a vintage of around 1950. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a couple weeks from my birthday. This is my main present. Becca was sweet enough to let me open it early.

Oh...
Because sunshine:

A very Merry Saturday to all.

I'm definitely still that kid ... and you and I are from the very same generation
it was a great time to be young when we were teens ... there was a musical resurgence ... freak flags everywhere

Yeah... And folks weren't so damned uptight.

Here's to the millennials and their rebels, their freaks, there weirdos and their ones who refuse to let themselves be defined by the culture.

I hope that they can make the late 2010s and 2020s make the 1960s look like the 1950s.

Another hat from the last finds here in Verona north area

Pale sun and mellow noon with decrease of temperature in morning and evening

Barbisio in light blue made in the years of Barbisio production in Cappellificio Cervo

Photos were made yesterday afternoon and this morning

In shadow and sun to have the felt with different lights

Interior of the Barbisio show a very simple lining

There no indication of quality in the brand stamped or paper label under the sweatband

Have a nice Saturday

A huge thanks for your appreciation on the Dobbs-Panizza showed yesterday

Today with my Stetson (i think Carson) and my dog

It won't be nearly as nice today as yesterday's record setting 74 degrees, but I think I've still talked myself into a bicycle ride. I will be accompanied by a Pilgrim flat cap on it's first outing with me.

I picked this one up sometime this winter and it has been patiently waiting for some warmer weather. No idea what it's made out of, something lightweight.

Headed out to clear some brush. Since I lost the black band on my Amish straw I "Englished" it up with a band of off a thrifted Panama.

 

[Redfokker]

I remember that nice visit and the crazy storm... good times, Josh! No, that purchase was this 1940s green Dobbs homburg with nice lion rondel that I sold some time back.

That hat is beautiful.

I'm worried about this fireball in the sky I've not seen before. Otherwise I'm enjoying the day in the Stetson Racine.

Great flat cap. Love the colors and pattern. Pilgrim as in your felt? I have a Pilgrim tie, sounds like I need to do some reading.

Nothing classier than a fine fedora hanging on a chair in a restaurant. Makes everyone look. I made an offer on that Connie pin, hope it takes.
