What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[blueAZNmonkey]

Good day to everyone from a cool, finally, Verona

Yesterday's thunderstorms with falling temperatures on mediums best suited to the summer season

Beautiful walk to the office in the fresh air. I'm accompanied by a suitable PHD for the day

Thank you all for your feedback and appreciation.
I spare to all loungers for to magnificent hats that you show every day.
I'm lazy, it's summer

Nice!! Is that the "patron" crease? It looks great. What is the brim width? I definitely covet this hat =)

A stunning head turner. Love the historical accuracy. Impressive.

Can't say no to the Echter Borsa Alessandria today:

Wow! Is this new Justin? I have a lot of catching up to do. Absolutely stunning my friend!

Not new actually! I've had it for over a year, it's just been too tight so I waited until I had the right block to resize it. Worth the wait, IMO! And thank you =)

What's your size? There's some good options on ebay right now =)

Yeah. There are! However, with a noggin size of 7 1/2, they are rare as hen's teeth! Considered seeking one and upsizing as well but not too many in gray that are 'reasonable' in price! The one you sport is definitely you!

Thanks so much -- Now that this Borsa is resized, the Lock and Co will see less head time for sure. I'm all for waiting out a clean and inexpensive one that's a size down and resizing it. You'll have to get a non-original sweat, and would likely have to tack on a non-original crown ribbon but that just gives it more personality =)

Yup! Had that done to a few classics I own and personalized them! However, seeking a size down that is inexpensive is a are find. Especially in the gray color. Just purchased a Navy Lock &Co. The liner had seen better days and the sweat was 'there' but I simply removed the liner and sporting' it as is. The felt is amazing!

am just trying to figure out what hats to bring to england on vacation, my sterkowski's crease and general (has been rained on umpteen times) look is pishing me off so remodelled it with steam, this has a 2.5" brim, now has front (to the back of the bow knot) and back dents and the crown is 5" where they meet from 4.5" front and back.

NOS Canadian Biltmore "Eleganza" finish. For those of you that care, it's obviously a cooler summer day...

Which is why I wore fur felt. Duh...

Thanks. I'm ambivalent abt feathers. I enjoy certain feathers in certain hats at certain times. Other times and other hats with other feathers not at all.

Looks familiar. I like yours as much as mine.

So true. The 7 1/8 - 7 3/8 range is in high demand. You gotta post pics of that Lock & Co! I haven't seen an antique one in navy pop up on the bay yet so now I'm jealous you spotted it =)

Man, I'd love your recipe if you're willing to share, via pm???

Secret ingredient is a small percentage of parrot feces. The ammonia and nitrogen enhance the high notes of the fragrance.
