What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[jlee562]

Wonderful hats today.

Jeff: that's the black cherry, yes?

Robert: beautiful Milan and very tastefully matched!

Alan: stunning, as is par for the course for you, sir.

I've also got my Supernatural Milan from the Ecuadorian Panama Hat co. of New York, originally sold by Halle Bros. store out of Cleaveland, which, at least according to Wikipedia, is the namesake for Halle Berry.

Yes, you do that Borsalino justice. Bold hat, wide brim, wide ribbon. You need a certain amount of presence to pull that off well, as you do.

Rlk, that is a primo example of a perfect Milan. One day I will find a Milan with a substantial brim like that one.

Alan, was that supernatch a recent snatch? In any case it really lives up to its name-- very fine lid.

gtdean-- that is a most appropriate color for that misty VS-- I'd be wandering through the blue smoke, too, with that on my head.

I like the way you did the FP Jeff.

Thanks Perry! Are you donning another winning Dobbs today?

Bowlerman and Alan, those are nice hats. Bowlerman, that maroon colored hat is the best one I've ever seen on you. If you ordered that custom, you did a good job outlining a great style for yourself, including both the dimensions and the color. I'm not even a fan of maroon hats at all. But that one is good.

Thank you, sir. I did custom order that one, and I adore it. Truthfully, the brim was bothering me a bit, though it hasn't stopped me from wearing it. I think I'll keep this somewhat flattened version-- but I will admit the side profile shot seems to work better than the front view.

Wonderful hats today.

Yep, it's the black cherry. If I didn't have a list of other hats I wanted to commission in different colors, I'd have Parker make me at least three other styles with this felt. I just love it.

Another supernatural today-- yours is really fantastic-- this is the recent grab, right? It is downright extra-terrestrial. What a sweet color.

Halle's named after a clothing store, eh?

Great pics, Dixie!

Thanks guys! I appreciate the positive reinforcement! What a great place to hang-out!

Thank you Jared and Jeff!

Jeff, no, I've had this for a while. For some reason I haven't worn it very often. Have to work on that.

I really like that hat David. Is that the original ribbon?

Nice hat! Hello from across the river. Warm over here in VT too and looking like rain.

 

[Chepstow]

David, that is a great looking Disney, fits good to you!

Vintage Adam Coronet in"sterling" with a great ribbon - fresh back from cleaning & open block at Paris Hatters. Added a diamond dry bash last night.

 

[TPD166]

Nice hats everyone!

Robert, the new Stratoliner looks great.

Thanks! I love it & I'm having some work done on the Gun Club - should be ready next week.

David, that is a great looking Disney, fits good to you!

Very nice. Is anyone able to read this as my'-lan? I've tried and can't seem to do it. I can say it out loud if I work at it. But it reads Milan.

Stetson 5X Clear Beaver, c. 1940

For those who might not have seen them, here are two links to two of these that have appeared on the Lounge.

 

[bowlerman]

Nice ones, David, TPD, Alan!

That 5X CB is really something!

Alan, do you mean the pronunciation that's presumedly derived from the Japanese origin of that word, as I think was discussed a few months ago? Should the "a" vowel sound like the word "lawn" or "bat?"

 

[Joshbru3]

Alan, I absolutely LOVE this picture. You have such a wonderful family. :eusa_clap

 

[Chepstow]

Robert and Alan, nice Hats today!

 

[alanfgag]

I'm not positive, but I think the midwest pronunciation of Anne should be about right. It keeps coming out M-lahn' in my head.

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks so much Josh. I wish I could have gotten them out of the nail salon so you could meet them. Next time!

Manfred... thank you!
