Banana Zulu for me today.

New sweatband installed by Bob Jessee.

I like that one a bunch, Alan!!

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 love this lid, Moe. Your magnificent collection must be something to see all in one shot...

Thanks everyone for the recent likes and comments. Apologies for not getting around to responding to each comment. Maybe I can catch up soon. The Dorer accompanies me as I head out into the recently returned winter weather.

What a nice, clean classic that Dorer is, Greg.

How'd Willie hold up?

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.

Sofia Bulgaria? That would certainly be scarce in the U.S.

We are SO fortunate to have you posting such amazing finds, Steve. Like a Home Run Derby, in Besaball terms. EVERY one!!

I just have to second that! It is such a treat to see these beautiful vintage hats that we may otherwise never see!

Thanks Charlie!
They'd make a decent sized heap, that's for sure!

They were found in Bulgaria and shipped from there. There are some still on Ebay but in small sizes.

Charlie, Thank you. I haven't worn this one in a while.

Certainly a beautiful hat of interesting lineage. Thanks for posting such a gem! I used to have a good friend from Sofia.

That thing is bananas. Sorry, Alan but some of these guys are a bad influence on me. They know who they are. Such a great hat.

I like that one a bunch, Alan!!

I think we all know who they are. And thanks guys. Remembering that I got this one from Anthony. So thanks to that fine gentleman too!

That's one Great Grafton. A totally terrific lid, Michael!!

Thanks Charlie. You were tearing it up in the 'burg today. Hope your weather hasn't been too bad. I haven't been keeping up with the reports.

Thanks! Are you a mind reader?? Regarding the growing brim. I keep chanting in my head... I love my stingy brims, I love my stingy brims, I love my stingy brims...
Then this morning I grab the Temple, Stare at myself in the mirror. Hmm, I'll give it a go!
The bash isn't the standard Temple bash, I gave it a center crease, no pinch. I have this weird habit of personalizing almost everything.

Nice crease. I have been playing with center creases a lot lately with all the European hats coming my way. What size are you? You should be looking for some vintage felt in the bay. Once you go vintage, you will never go back.

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"

Incredible finish Danele. Very nice color too.

I thought you were kidding about "banana zulu" until I scrolled down to the tag. Stupendous hat Alan.

A Gannon this morning.

A cap for the afternoon/evening.

Eric -

You blend right in with the evergreens. Beautiful hat Eric. I really need to look into getting one of those Cordovas.
