What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Messages

Lately, I've been inspired to wear one of my Bowlers due to all the wonderful Bowler/Derby hats shown on the FL recently. A special tip of the hat to Randy for inspiring me.
Finally, today, I put on my 1920s/30s Moores of Manchester (despite what it says on the sweat) Bowler.
I was lucky to find this one at a local fleamarket. Almost antique, Manchester made, sold in Copenhagen at one of the city's premier department stores (still in existence btw). Ticked all the boxes.

Looking good Steve. I almost opted for a derby today. Maybe tomrrow.

A little Biltmore action on a chilly day. Got this hat a few days back and I really like it. Fits great and I like the brim up look.

Nice looking Biltmore, Hector. I think two or three of my Biltmores were sold by that same store.

It’s somewhere between a blade brim and a flip up or snap up. I don’t think I like the bowled look of the brim in a full flip and I don’t want a completely flat brim, so yeah, you’re right, Deadly. Thank you for liking it, though and thanks to everyone else for their likes and comments. I may be keeping it this way, especially since my Mother likes it!

Keep it. Everybody needs a flatty.

Thank you for your enjoyment and feedback on the Borsalino misto from yesterday. I have another... this in the stately Gorasgu style, in a heather color oddly named after the dogfish (I think). Not sure if wild, or cooked. Made for the American market following WWII.

I didn’t think yesterday’s Misto could be outdone, perfect. Then there was today, perfect plus!!
Exquisite both Allan!
Super brim stitching on the Gorasgu!

It was supposed to rain today, so the moonstone Camp Draft was my choice. Beautiful day instead, better for lunch on the lawn at my granddaughter's school. Can you tell that she made her hat?

Can’t go wrong with the ol Turkey hat. She did a fine job. Looks like a beautiful day!

Best,
