What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[steur]

Adam THE POLAR.

Merry Thursday.

I never get tired of that one, Matt. The hunt is on.

Today gray and damp day, only now early afternoon the sun peeked out from the clouds

This hat has one of the most incredible felts among those in my collection

It is soft and almost silk, easy to form but difficult to keep in shape, reminds me of some old Borsalino

Flechet Pilote premier qualité Impermeable. Color is Caniche
Color is another interesting feature that I tried to highlight with photos

The finish is very short and shiny hair (this finish in Italy is called "ferro francese")

Probably made in the fifties or early sixties in France in the Flechet (founded in 1859) facility in Chazelles-sur-Lyon near Saint-Etienne

I want to thank you with my heart for the kind words and appreciation
Have a nice Thursday

Outstanding, Daniele! Flechet did special finishes really well. All my Flechtet hats are in fact special finishes; never seen a regular felt by them!

Imperial indeed. Consider me jealous, Anthony!

It is largely your fault my friend. But, I am addicted.

Guilty as charged, but in my defense: I'm a lost soul myself!

This is what I am wearing from now on. Moss green Rabbit & Hare Mix fur felt. 14 cm crown, 6.5 cm front brim, sides 6 cm. Copper Grosgrain ribbon, Scandinavian deer skin sweatband. Diamond shaped crown.

Very nice; well done!

Hey all!
I've never been a huge fan of thin ribbons, but this here Dobbs West Twenty-Five may have just roped me in. Should be a good durable choice for the light rain beginning to fall.

I adjusted the crown and pinch a little, I like it a whole lot more.
Have a great day!

Nice work, John. You got that hat a long way to where you wanted it!

Awesome is an overused word, but fitting here, Steve. Wonderful form and stunning colour.

Happy Friday.

So.............................
As I took these pictures under the Borsalino Nutria in mirtillo this morning, apparently I stepped in a giant pile of dog doo. Then, after a bit of shoe cleaning, I spilled coffee on myself as I started the drive to work.

A splendificatious start to the day, indeed! Things bode well.

Yippee.

Have a steaming pile free day.

Picked up a few mirtillos (sounds like a snack) this friday, but alas not one was as good as yours, Matt.

Sun and some clouds here and there
Huckel made in West Germany

Heather black thick felt

Matching ribbon and raw brim

Despite the appearance and the apparent solidity, the felt is very malleable

It is very well finish and perfect for a cold dat, not today

Have a nice Friday!

Thanks for the likes on Flechet Pilote

Wonderful! You know how much I like those heather felts.

Thanks steur. Hope your eyes are all better now.

I don't know which to put on my wish list first: the Game Bird or the Jiffy steamer!

Have a great Saturday,

Now there's something I haven't seen before. That is quite the hat you have there, Michael. Not for everyday wear, maybe, but certainly a great piece. Fits the rest of the wonderful outfit too (but I wouldn't expect anything else from you).

 

[steur]

Thanks steur. Hope your eyes are all better now.

Michael

Michael, thank you. My eyes are near better enough to not be a bother anymore...

 

[steur]

Haven't commented on every hat, even though all were great and deserving. O well. I think this was thursday, but it was a bit busy this week. Barbisio ratiné. Wool felt, but a great little hat just the same.

Stetson Nutria Quality. From the bay a couple of weeks ago. Looked like silver belly from the seller’s pics. Turned out to this pleasant brown after cleaning.

Liner is long lost which is a disappointment

The crease in this beauty is kind of an understated cattleman, I like it. Great one Jack.
