What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Beautiful hat, Alan. Great John Wanamaker's logo, too.

Would you tell us about the painting, please? I really dig it.

Thanks Matt. The painting is a self-portrait of my Dad from the 1960s. His house is filled with work painted from the 1940s up to recent years. We don't have much unfilled wall space at our house but I've always liked this one. I brought it back with me after he passed away in December.

Your dad seemed like a true old school gentleman, and he was a snappy dresser too.

I like it!
Photobombing horse!

"Beautiful hat"

Isn't it wonderful to have a place that is so genteel? Where folks say thank you, mean it, and compliment each other on a regular basis. The old school values shown to each other here are appreciated.

Thank you Perry - true both.

The son takes after the father...

Thanks for saying it. Have enjoyed your posts. There are certain members that you'll want to avoid. They know who they are.

I don't recall you mentioning his artistic side, though. He was truly a renaissance man!

Now, wait a minute...!!

Spent most of the day with the hound in the Dorer bar 50. He decided to go hatless.

First day back at the office after an amazing paternity leave. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers -- my baby girl Rafaella was born on 1/31 - healthy and strong!

For Ash Wednesday, my pale blue 1950's Stetson St. Regis with a new/antique merlot ribbon accented with a fine-point brush.

Congrats Brother Justin and Family! Try not to get any ash on that brim...

I'm so sorry to read of your loss. But it is fine to see that his legacy lives on in hats, art and the talent he has passed on in his family.

His use of geometry and color is just striking. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Nice Western but the horse steals the show.

Gorgeous! The colour comes out better in daylight, Rodolfo.

Very classic looking. Love the finish and the color. You should dig deeper in the hat room more often.

Thank you, Mike. I might never get out if I start digging; it might cause a hatalanche.

An old Borsalino I purchased and gave to my dad many years ago. It's a little small for me but with a gentle stretch I can wear it. From the Zlateff Bulgarian collection that is purported to have been made in the 1930s and kept in storage during WWII. Not sure this is true, but it is an earlier hat. A very fine velour that could be a cousin to another velour Columbo I purchased more recently.

Wonderful piece, Alan. Your father took great care of it looking at its condition.

Thanks Chas... I always liked the way he wore it.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Good catch. Love the colour.

Thanks Stefan.

Yeah... Knox knew how to make knifty knuggets to place on knoggins.

Do you see them crop up over there often?

Alas not. Don't think they were ever imported over here in Europe. The ones I have are all American market ones.
