What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[DJH]

David that Pesca is perfect! You folks and your borsalinos are tormenting me awful!(must end all suffering by ending my own and getting one ?)

Thanks - yep, you need to get one sooner or later.
Problem is, there are so many great Borsalino styles, one will never do it!

Marc - you are the top man when it comes to those old caps.

Thank you, DJH! It's becoming an obsession.

Thank you for the notes, folks! That Amish hat really is a helmet. I might try the more conforming variation-- Stetson's Austral-- when I have to shovel again (likely tomorrow). I seriously cannot keep up with this thread! So many amazing hats, everyone.

just to comment on a few:
Manfred-- what an awesome velour!
Alan-- I missed your velour yesterday-- beautiful!

Thank you, DJH! It's becoming an obsession.

The prices that good caps seem to sell for these day, it could become an expensive obsession!

Very true. Luckily, I started picking them up on eBay about five years ago, when the average price was about $35 (though much more for deadstock ones).

I seriously cannot keep up with this thread! So many amazing hats, everyone.

No kidding! Each day I check 'em out, shake my head in wonder, and hope to join the rarified ranks someday. Too many to mention individually, even after a few days . . . How about a general "Thanks for posting!"

Wore a Taupe Verdi today

 

[bowlerman]

Again, snow on a dark hat ... very cool.

Isn't this the hat that was bleeding dye? How did that work out? The wet snow isn't an issue?

Yes! The same hat. Previously it bled under spray bottle and steam conditions, but I didn't manhandle it so much today, so no bleeding noted.

And Alan-- In addition to hat lore, I learn so much new vocabulary on this website! {Amish and hamisch} Cool yet lively photo of you in that Colombo.

[...] no bleeding noted.

Good news!

Al, David , Jeff and Dirk, thank you so much for the nice comment. The fur is really difficult to photograph, it shimmers always different.

Brent, that is a very nice shorter brim Hat. I like him much. Looks very good

Alan, what an outstanding Colombo, the felt finish, looks awesome.

JB, very beautiful Alessandria. Excellent.
