What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Hagwood]

Beginning the trek to Wenatchee WA this morning to attend a memorial service for Patty's Grandpa, Jim Merlin. He passed on December 26th at the age of 102. It will be a true celebration of his life. Snow in Portland and the Columbia Gorge, but should not be too bad. I'll honor Grandpa with my navy blue longhair custom from NW Hats in Eugene, and will take along a 1950s Knox Premier Stratoliner clone (the Knox-o-Liner!) fedora for daily wear around town. I'll try to post some snow pictures, it will be bitterly cold in northern Washington.

Beautiful custom and great bow ! Nice Strat Clone too, you will be very well dressed for the occasion. Too bad the trip is a somber one, but I guess since you said it will be a celebration of his life you can turn it into a happy one ! Have a safe trip.

My weekend warrior! A beautiful Navy (Mirtillo) Kingson I got from our friend Stefan. This is a solid lovely hat with a really nice thin ribbon.

Thanks Stefan!

Lovely style and color Hector ! For some reason I rarely find blues of any shade when hunting for vintage

My only Mayser today.
It has a very cool brim binding.

Thanks! I agree, they are hard to come by. This is my first and only, not for lack of looking I can assure you [emoji31][emoji1]

My condolences for your loss of Grandpa Jim. 102 certainly calls for a celebration of life!

Two great hats, but navy and gills...oh my!

That’s such a nice homburg. The colors and dimensions look perfect on you.

Love the colors and the shape, Panos. I was admiring Steve’s homburg down thread juxtaposed next to yours. Wonderful how they can come across casual or formal with equal aplomb.

First day out wearing the Borsalino Arpasti. Was originally planning on changing out the felt band, but it’s kinda growing on me.

I ripped a few self felts, thinking I didn't like them, then kind of came around to another view.
I'm still no fan of the alpine rope, the hills are alive, treatment.

Beuatiful. Great match to the Cashmere ? Overcoat.

Thanks, Tim. I couldn't really wear this Knox Homburg with anything else.

Probably my favourite from your hommies Steve, outstanding!

Thank you, Panos. I'm very lucky to have quite a few. Your Adams was so cool btw.

I love the San Antonio, Michael.
How many stunning fur collar coats do you have?

LOL, I guess those are only good for an Oktoberfest hat....

Stefan is sure one heck of a hat magnate.

And a hat magnet it appears.

Thank you, Brent. I acquired this one via Stefan. It's the "twin" of the Knox Superfine Homburg I acquired from you. This one is a more fawn brown compared to your darker shade of brown. This one looks good with pinches. The one from you, better without pinches in my opinion.

I actually meant to say that Stefan is a hat magnat, Bob. But on reflexion, he is indeed both [emoji4] [emoji145]

Could have been made especially for the dealer, which was a shop of some renown in Amsterdam. Here's a picture of it back then. Apparently Brummel's hats was an important brand for them.

This is what it looks like today. Chipsy King XL. Really?

Super photos, Stefan. I'm going out on a limb here, but it looked better back then [emoji6]
