What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[blueAZNmonkey]

Hückel Weilheim "Exclusiv" probably later 1950s.

Original Case

I'm seriously drooling over this one. WOW.

Thanks guys for the comments and likes on my Milan from yesterday. The glorious spring weather continues and I’m wearing my Brent Black Panama today.

Cheers!

Love the bow and liner on this one. That case is a treasure. Are they like the high end cases for hats like our 100s?

Mike, Thank you! This case isn't for heavy travel so different. I have only seen them for this "Exklusiv" Homburg style hat. The case has unique elastic hat holders.

That's a beauty Steve!

Bob, Thanks!

Nice! When you get a chance, post up some detail shots in the CBB thread, please.

The colors on this Milan are to die for David.


I like that ribbon color. Have to file that one away for later. You have plenty of crown to playwith. I like the organic pinches at the present.


I enjoy seeing this French creation. You can wear it as often as you want. I won't complain.


Until reading the later posts, I didn't know the adornment was a wifey ear ring. It kind of reminds me of a Japanese Imperial Chrysanthemum. Cool look!

Thanks Mike! I wesr it as often as I can without my other hats getting jealous!

I really like that green hat, especially today! You seem to be able to wear a short or wide brim equally well. Those boots look nice! I like the stitching and contrasting piping.

Thanks Ed! Still trying to find the “right” style for me. I fear no brim, but am a little frightened by some crowns still

You are rocking that Cav Bob! The finish and color is outstanding. I seem to remember this one having some age? 50s?

Thanks Mike! Not sure, but no later than the ‘50s.

Nice! When you get a chance, post up some detail shots in the CBB thread, please.

Thanks Greg! Will do...

Everybody is looking great and very Irish today. Out and about under a moss green Gannon on St. Patrick's day.

Have a good one y'all!

It is hard to beat that buttery leather overcoat on any day. But maybe you would be better served with the rich green today. That Biltmore...off the charts!

Thanks Red. I decided to stay with the buttery leather, but did throw a green scarf into the mix to be on the safe side.

Didn't see much in the way of wearin' of the green out there in any case. Or maybe I just didn't notice.

Per special request from the Mattster, I will bring out the "Huggy Bear". It just seemed festive with all the plumage (there are green highlights, some type of exotic chicken...). This Cavanagh rolled brim homburg like creature is all disco...kiss me I'm Irish! No really, there is Irish in my veins, mother's maiden name was McCollough.

The Huggy Bear looks great. Looks a lot like my Dobbs. Maybe I shouldn't have tossed the feather band I took off of some old western. Ha ha

When I fished this one out of the bay, I had every intention of a new ribbon treatment. The feathers kind of grew on me. It will remain my example of disco inferno 70s pimpin style.

Such an excellent example of a Whippet, it has everything going for it. Great color for today also.

But what will the Church Ladies think Red? I suggest a printed nylon body shirt worn open and tied at the waist to go with it. And bell bottom cords.

Another beauty Daniele. You make it look like al European hats are exceptional.

Thanks Richard, I try to do my best to choose the hats in a European market that has numerous opportunities, without a close focus on brands too well known. In Italy the competitors of Borsalino (Barbisio, Panizza, Cervo, Vanzina and others) have made hats of the highest quality.
The pleasure is to find them and try to have them.

I have not yet seen a Gannon I didn't like. Very nice.

It was tough to pick one green hat out of the bunch for today but a Whippet works in most situations so it got the nod.
