What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[DJH]

Dale, Richard - thanks for the Courtney comments, guys!

I like the J Dermot cap, Richard. Is that a current brand?

Charlie - cool VS BS yesterday. Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that the felt bodies Gary White had were vintage Borsalinos that had been kicking around for a long time. Is the felt quality on yours consistant with old Borso felt, would you say?

Every now and again I wonder if he has any that would work for my size - then I remember that he doesnt have email or anything and it's always in the middle of the night when I think of it

Djh as always you look live the cover of GQ.

and you should be on stage as a comedian, gear-guy Thanks, though! You look as though you were enjoying getting ready for NYE!

Sam - love the Max!

Jeff - nice Tummy and S25

pf - enjoy the new Bailey!

Alan - yep, that's a brim alright

Knice Knox Matt!

Joao - yeah; the battle of the brims continues!!

S4C - knice Knox for you too!

Hatto - what a great looking Playboy. Is it black or dark blue?

JT - cool SS. Those thin ribbon hats just work great for you.

Tommy Gun - is this going to be your new look for 2014?

OK, I can't match in Battle of the Brims with Joao and Alan, but I did wear my widest brim hat earlier this morning.

Stetson 25 Western style

For a cold & rainy New Year's Day, my new Silverbelly Campdraft Heritage Grade. I hope all of you have a great 2014.

Good start to the new year DJH. That's a classic.

I wish I could offer more insight into the felt feel of older Borsas, Dave, but my hands-on experience is limited. As I always whine, there aren't enough vintage ones in my size. The one I do own is a longhair from about 1960-70, (not my size, even) very different from the finish of Gary's hats. Gary, I suspect, uses more stiffener in the felt.

And, to communicate with him at the odd hours.... just call and leave a message, 24/7. It works.

My wife often tells me I should be on a stage... the next one leaving town!

David, yes - it's a small company based in London. They don't have an on-line store, but you can pick them up in some of London's menswear stores. The only two online sources I could find are:

I've just ordered one of the grey flat caps.

--------------------

Nice Stetson David

Robert - the Campdraft looks great

 

[DJH]

Thanks, Richard.

Seems a little strange that the caps are all sized in steps of 2 cm's, sometimes odd and sometimes even sizes. The ones I like are even numbers and I wear 57 cm

Happy New Years everyone!
Great hats over the holidays.
For this cold New Years day I am wearing my Buckaroo Hatters fedora and leather jacket.

 

[T Jones]

Very nice start to the New Year Gents! Lovin' the thin ribbons today!

Earl Needham,

Attitude helps, too.

Yup. Definitely! There's a lot to be said for that. My wife should look really good wearing a hat. She lacks no amount of attitude!
DJH, That is one nice Stetson 25! I love that hat! Nice! Really Nice!
TPD, Another nice thin ribbon!
RBH, Nice! Love the mid ribbon...and the Thompson(?)

 

[HamilcarBarca3]

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!

 

[Earl Needham]

Wow, there's some STYLE in that couple!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Joao - yeah; the battle of the brims continues!!

OK, I can't match in Battle of the Brims with Joao and Alan, but I did wear my widest brim hat earlier this morning.

Battle of the Brims lol but I'm no adversary to Allan. He always surprise us with something bigger, bolder and "more" vintage than I can (like that clear nutria).
Nice to see a Stetson 25 western. Wish I could find one with 4" brim.

My days of not taking you seriously are coming to a middle.

Shiny!

Mighty fine way to kick off the new year.

Last week - had to develop the film before I could post.

Happy new year to you gents!

 

[dh66]

Great pic HB3. I like the shape of the brim on that one.

Jockos I like the brim on yours, too. Looks good on you like that.

Happy New Year guys.

He definitely makes them in all sizes - even for small noggins like yourself

Which one took your fancy?

 

[ManofKent]

Rusty - Nice Buckaroo.

HB3 - great photo and great hats

Jockos - I must dig out my film bodies in the New Year. Lovely slant on that hat.

----------------------------

More gales today, so another cap (apologies for it being off-centre). Unbranded Harris Tweed:

Happy New years guys

Off to a fine start.....looking forward to seeing the new & vintage hats this year.
