Wearing a circa 1920s Italian straw boater made in Firenze (Florence) for National Straw Hat Day:

Wow, for that age it has survived in great condition. Love this one a lot!

It's not too bad , Mike. It has a few threads coming loose where the sweat ends meet .While I was investigating this issue, I found the OPS label still attached and tucked in behind. Always fun to narrow the date down on these old hats.

The pictures of the fourth hat came from Holland, Eu exchange, were made at the end of last week.
It would be too hot now!

Mayser in medium gray

The hat is pretty new. The line is fantastic

Finish in an excellent way and the felt is on par with the production of high quality

My thanks go to Stefan who is able to find hats of great quality that have, happy, a passionate beyond the Alps

With this super Mayser the season of felt ends.

Buon Lunedì!

Great boater!

But your skivvies, Bobby... Hanes (pronounced, "hein'-ous") briefs is a surprise. Would have thought a man like you would be a boxer guy, AKA "Waldorf" underwear. Like the Waldorf Astoria in NYC, with its legendary ballroom.

Groan!

I'm so stealing that, Charlie.

No need to steal (although that may not be as much fun). Like most of us, much of my BS (admittedly) is gleaned from somewhere else over the last 50 years. The brand of undies, though, (Heinous) is mine. Now all yours, Jim!!

I am only half ready to switch to straw.

Note the similarity to the label posted by Roger from his Knox 20 genuine panama... the purchase of Dunlap by Knox was announced in an August 1919 issue of the American Hatter.

Go Hanes or go commando.

Thanks P! Last time I posted a photo of this hat was September 9th last year... also a transitional wearing.

I was ignorant about today being straw hat day.

Happily, I have with me this peculiar $3 hat that I found at the antique mall Saturday. It demanded that I purchase it.

Oh yeah... Good reading for the day about the 1922 Straw Hat Riots in NYC: http://mentalfloss.com/article/61755/straw-hat-riots-1922

As good a reason to riot as any, I suppose.

Closest HoJo to me is 70 miles north. Used to stay at them all the time as a kid. Tuesday: all the clams you can eat!

I'm a Stroh's man, myself.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

+1 for Howard Johnson's fried clam strips.

Excellent! I love the aqua gray shown in this photo... does it look so in the hand?

Yes Alan the aqua grey is almost the same in hands.
We can begin the discussion on the grays, interpreted by the various "felt painters" in the history of the historical production of hats

With the temperatures predicted to reach the high 80s later this week I'm seizing the opportunity to wear this Knox that I haven't worn in a long time while felts are still in rotation

Enjoy your day friends

I think that would be a good topic for a thread. I didn't find a gray survey thread in a quick look...
