What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

Willoughby Prince IV G with a satin finish. A camber style look, for want of a better term, to this one. Another one from the recent Dutch consignment. View attachment 310259 View attachment 310260

Perfect hat for cold conditions (and for petting near the fireplace!). Looking good, Steve.

Have a nice weekend !

My pleasure, Panos. Glad we could make this exchange possible and it's good to see these hats worn as they're meant to be.

Way too many fantabulous hats posted by all this week for me to comment on inidvidually. A joy to see.

Italian week is coming close to the finish line, but we're not quite there yet. Saved a few good ones for the home stretch.
Let's see.

Borsalino Faunosca Averla

Borsalino Caffe

Borsalino Augusta Bronzo

Borsalino Rogers Peet Averla (no label, so I'm guessing)

Borsalino Ruluela Nero (not my size and my widest brimmed hat at 10cm)

Borsalino Landasti Misto Salvia

Borsalino Gorasgu Misto Maroso

This is the hat that I’ve asked Michael Gannon to duplicate with my second 220g nutria in natural. Should arrive in July, but worth the wait. I love this hat, and I like the idea of having a modern version that I won’t have to pamper or worry about.

Brent that's truly a fantastic hat! I would love to see it more often but I understand your worries. I also like the scenery and especially your sun

Thanks, Panos. These misto felts are very attractive, so can't say I blame you

Another fantastic week, Stefan. Superb hats, coats, scarves, ties, and even some blue sky.

Like Panos, the Mistos are my favourites, too.

Thanks, Steve. These special felts are hard to beat.

 

[BobHufford]

Thanks, Steve. People enjoyed it tremendously, especially now. Missed out on going skating myself; thought the ice would be in too poor condition, but it seems there were stretches that were decent enough. Damn.

I see that you attempted it anyway Stefan ...

Ha, I'm faster than he was. That's the trick: be fast enough to be gone before the ice breaks!

Italian week is coming close to the finish line,

Say it isn’t so! Some great ones this week. The Augusta Bronzo is there a treatment on the edge where it is a slight different color or is it just in the photos.

Like the look Gary

 

[drmaxtejeda]

I for one will never forget. It was in its matched case/suit case on a porch. It was photographed open crown and there were angels singing in the background.

Yeah! Now I remember. The angels and the white light! I didn't know they rock-and-rolled.

Always the handsome couple, Gary. I particularly like your wife's jacket. Great colours and a nice cut.

Wearing my latest refurb project. This is a Knox Stagecoach that a fellow Lounger gave to me. I'm wondering if Byer / Rolnick possibly bought out Knox back in the day. It has all same markings on the sweat that the Resistol Stagecoach had...and I saw Dobbs Stagecoaches too. So I'm guessing that maybe Byer / Rolnick bought them out way back when (?) Anyway, this hat sports an impressive profile with 7 inch tall open crown and a 4.5 inch brim width. You don't run across Western hats with these profiles too often these days. Except for the weaved hat band I reused everything that was original to the hat. I was able to preserve the original open crown shape and to retain the brim width and pencil curl...

Before:

Ironed out the old creases in the crown and ironed the brim:

After:
