What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

On the Avenue... I think this one came via Justin. It's a favorite and a good one to start off the season of felt.

My, oh my, another beauty Alan.

Not a headshot of me, but of our esteemed member Mike @Redfokker . He's been sorely missed lately and I've been in contact with him to see how he's doing.
As many of you know he's been having severe back problems and has undergone surgery for that. Under the circumstances he's doing well and he sends his best to all of us at the lounge. The circumstances being that he broke a few bones (two ribs and a bone in his hand) when he took a nasty fall on his driveway about two weeks ago. He was less nimble than his usual self due to his recovery from the back surgery and seemed to have been more concerned about his Borsalino featherweight than for his own safety (I'm sure many of us can relate to that). The back surgery has gone well, but it takes time to recover and this fall doesn't really help. Pins need to be put in the break on his hand. In his own words: "it sucks to be me."
He misses the lounge and he hopes to be able to write some lines again here himself soon. I for one wish him a good and speedy recovery and hope to see the same smile as below as soon as possible here again. For the record: Mike is wearing a Borsalino in this picture.

Thanks for the update, Stefan. I've been thinking about Mike a bit lately.

There are a few others I'd like to see check in, too.

Great blue and steel blue colours on the Gannon, Brent. Shape, dimensions, and wide ribbon are wonderful, too.

Mallory Ten for a cooler morning dog walk.

Best, Eric -

I have yet to reassemble mine after stripping it before 24 hours in the gas chamber.
So many hat's, so little time.
I'm also intimidated about sewing the sweat back in after drumming it down a size.

Went out last night to a blues club where you can hear future blues legends like Junebug & The Porch Lights. Wore a new Gannon out for the first time.

One of the last great models made in Ghiffa at the historic Panizza headquarters.
The color of the felt is "Camoscio" and the finish is soft and velvety, soft and malleable

One of the great Panizza felts. Certainly one of the best models built in Ghiffa in the last fifty years.
The hat is new, a remnant of stock.
The proportions are: brim at 5.5 cm. the open crown is 13 cm.

My kind of ribbon!
That Knox is the right place to display it too. I dug it, Doug.

Your collection is exquisite, Eric. This is a gem among its peers! Just perfect, and I love the silhouette of the branches on the crown.

Some more shots of the Greeley homburg. Also, 76 trail in Spearfish Canyon. The early fall air up here is refreshing and aromatic.

Usually wear a beat up old pork pie on the farm, but it doesn’t really offer much relief from the sun, as you can imagine. I have a couple bigger brim hats, but didn’t want to destroy them on the farm (like I did with the pork pie!), so I picked up this inexpensive Walrus brand felt. Think it’ll do just fine as the new work hat!

It will probably work well when you take a break too.

How do you keep the women off you long enough to get the photo?
Great hat and a great ensemble.

Thank you, Jim for both your compliments and your encouragement for me to open up my wallet. It really is a special hat and a hoot to have.
