What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Stellar Reg! Love that color. You always look so put together. Something to aspire to.


Good choice for carousing in Vegas. I am really behind on new hats, is this one vintage? I'll have to dig up the post about this great looking Stetson.


Perfect lines Fabio. Just wonderful!




I just want to reach into these images and pet the finish on this wonderful Borsalino. Is this color Misto Grigio? or just Misto. I have a long hair in this color.

Thanks, Mike. There is indeed a wonderful feel to the felt on this one. Curious name though.

I am going to camp out on my surgeon's doorstep this morning. The infection in my hand is back, don't know why. Incredible pain and really gross. I assume they will give me another round of antibiotics. Grab and go hat is the early 1960s Cavanagh Thirty. Sinatra's favorite brand. There are images of Frank and the rest of the Rat Pack wearing this exact hat. View attachment 191061 View attachment 191062 View attachment 191063 View attachment 191064

Bummer, Mike. That's the last thing you need.
Great Cavanagh, but I hope to see a post from you soon where both you and the hat are swell.

A VS gill featured hat to add a splash of color to a dark and rainy morning.

These two are really making me want a homburg! Looking great.

Highly recommended, especially for formal wear. Day 2 in a row, I absolutely love mine.

A very natural and appealing wearing... nice!

A simple hat that is a pleasure to wear... one from Steve's Czech adventure, via Garrett.

The liner is labeled for sale from a U.S. agent, more famous for their representation of Borsalino in the early 20th century.

I hope the doc fixes you up, Mike. You look good heading in!

Have any of you liked a post only to get a pop up asking Are you sure you want to like this post? This is about the 3rd time it's happened to me. If course I said yes! Looking good, Michael!

Thank you, Alan! I added some additional shots to the SQ thread, and was curious to hear your thoughts on this one. The Bilcal looks great with the dark frames btw!

Man, I love this Gannon!

Love that contrasting mid-ribbon too. Is this his highwayman?

Looking good Red, just like one of the pack.
Be well!

Hey Red:
Not to nosey or a know it all but....
That’s a long time post-op for an on and off infection at the surgical site. You don’t want to mess around any more with infections and bones. Beat that Doc up with questions and a care plan for the wound healing.
Wound Care centers, wound cultures for the correct antibiotic are relevant questions and concerns
Be the squeaky wheel!!

Malrov Mon...uh...Tuesday (dang — should’ve worn this yesterday).

I took a Granite Gannon out for lunch. An quiet lunch guest who never once interrupted me.

As opposed to swollen. Get well, Mike!

Seeing all your glorious gill ribboned fedoras has inspired me to try my hand at doing a modified version of it on one of my Cavanaghs that I found the other day. Right now it needs a new sweat sewn in and hat band. A smoke grey ribbon will look good on the 2 1/2 inch brimmed Cav. Anyway, when I get done with it I’ll post a pic, but I’m sure it’ll not measure up to any of your gilled beauts. Love your collection!

THIS is the gilled version I want to try out on my Cavanagh. Thanks for posting it, Fruno!
If I can make it look half that good, I’ll be happy.
And yes, that sewn brim treatment is a sweet feature. What does it look like under the brim? Same? Or does the edge ribbon span across the sewn tracks?
Regretfully, I have no Mallory’s. I lust at the ones I’ve seen at the Lounge and long for the one I may own... one day.

Dermotta Wien mid 1950s.

Ehilà Steve, fantastic Dermotta. One of my favourite of the last homburg you showed for the color and dimensions

The brim ribbon is wider on the bottom. You can only see the stitching from the top.

Making gills is easy. Keeping them aligned, straight, and tight while sewing them on is a whole 'nother ball of wax. I suggest not drinking before attempting it.

This is my first set of gills.

I got better.

But I still have a ways to go.
