What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[steur]

I'm calling it a "Knox-Before-The-Storm Wednesday," folks.

The Hommie... late 1960s.

Beautiful homburg, Charlie. You wear it with swagger.

A small portion of sun then rain

J. Huckel Platin of many years ago

A super gift of Steve (mayserwegener)

It is a unique piece of black-deep grey velour made in a masterful way

It came from Viena. What I can say more?

Have a nice day

Thanks a lot for your high number of likes on the Borsalino in "Bronzo"

I can almost feel the felt, Daniele. Superb. Love that jacket too.

Stetson Temple. Bought this on eBay, turns out the seller was a fellow lounger! The coffee cup on the window sill was my Dad's.

A different look for you, Rick. But yuo do it very well.

Banana Zulu for me today.

New sweatband installed by Bob Jessee.

Wow, Alan! That is some hat! And by far the most insane colour and model name combination Borsalino must have stuck to a hat, ever.

Hey folks!
It's the Ècuyer & Thomas for Motsch Fils today. Hard to walk by this one without feeling it, let alone putting it on.

Have a great day!

I can see why; lovely!

Borsalino probably late 1930s early 1940s. This one has the separate size stamp and was from the Simeon Zlateff Sofia find of about 10 years ago.

Classic and gorgeous, Steve. Love the look of that flange.

Taking a queue from @hatsRme with my 50's Borsalino classic gray hommie:

Can't see enough homburgs, Justin.

Alright... First things first: I kinda think that I'm too... well... "portly" to wear a trilby or stingy brim (whatever term you prefer). Today I don't care. I'm channeling my inner thin guy.

I suppose that someone may have brutalized this hat and converted it to a trilby. That was my initial thought, but the more I look at the brim stitching and wear on the edge of the overwelted felt, the less confident I am about that. There are threads on the Lounge noting that very narrow brim hats were offered much earlier than the 1960s. So it's kind of intriguing.

Regardless... nothing I can do about its trilbytude so I'm gonna love it anyway. It ain't the hat's fault if it was mutilated.

This Stack in "Bahama Blue" showed up on eBay as a "Buy It Now" earlier this week. It is a model without the nifty cushion venting system. The Mac Lachlan felt is some of the nicest I've ever laid my hands on.

Have a Therrific Thursday.

All I can think of is: why would someone make a perfectly good felt body into a stingy brimmed hat? To quote Redfokker though: embrace the stingy.

Superb, Fabio.

Think what you will about that tiny little brim, Matt... there's still a definite COOL factor knowing it's a Mac-made Stack!

The color is similar to the MAcLachlan I have. See!!

Be well. Bowen

Good looking hat, Bowen. But the parade of hats in the background caught my eye!

Old Austrian hat purchased from member Mario in Berlin some years back. I sure wish I could wear it with his style, which was always perfect.

Spectacular, Alan. Makes you look bohemian!

Fantastic, perry!

Thanks again sir.

Two hat day out of necessity. Went outside to 40mpg gusts. The brim on the Strat wanted to lift. Figured something more aerodynamic was in order. First stingy on the pile was the Borsalino Mirtillo. Stayed in place, with some effort.

Most of my borsalinos are not that fond of wind I must say. Tend to seek lift in that kind of weather. Looks good, Mike.

No time to post yesterday, but I did get a quick snap (today it's the other way around). Stetson Railbird and Corneliani coat in the last days of winter.

That is indeed very good looking, Jim. Nice!

Thank you, Stefan! And for the other compliments, too.
