What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[deadlyhandsome]

We have plans. Nice Wolferrell!

I have an employee who keeps bees as a second job. I’ve thought about just a few hives sometime in retirement.

Back from a work trip this afternoon. Air travel in the pandemic is complicated. I traveled with caps.

Out for a walkabout after a spot of dinner in a 30's Borsolino.

Cheers, Eric -

Almost made it to march, but here's where Italian week ends unfortunately. I guess I need more of them

Let's see what was left.

The Nobelsca Lodola!

Nora - Hüte Wien, possibly l960s. The Velour is really nice so might have been made from old stock. I replaced the sweatband.

Went today for the vaccine and wore this Borsalino. Wore it and some hiking boots, you know in case I croaked or something, die with my boots and hat on sort of thing. Did not have bad reaction. Failed to get a photo of me with the Borso on today. Afterward we went and ate Thai food. I did take a long nap in the afternoon. My arm is sore tonight and I have not gotten to sleep so I am posting this riveting account of my day. Also of course surfing the interweb looking at hats and drinking a chocolate ale. I told you this was riveting.

Congrats in advance on the New Hat Day. Cool hat coming. Perhaps someday we can get the cousins together for some barbecue and a beer.

It's a crime for one man to have that many awesome hats. You should be ashamed...

 

[Rats Rateye]

Out completing chores this morning in a Adam Pacesetter (Executive Quality) in the felt hue buckskin. You have to love some gills in the morning.

Cheers, Eric -

Perfect shape and shade. This would easily be a daily driver for me.

Since we stayed the night in a hotel, day two of Etsuko’s birthday celebrations featured the same hats, coats & shoes.
Etsuko in her Maxim...

me in my Hornskov.

But what’s this? Another Maxim!

How many birthday presents does one woman need!?

Meanwhile, I’m still in the Hornskov (but loving it).

Happy Birthday to your wife. The family hats are glorious. I really do like your new Hornskov. Stunning and classy fedora.

Terrific shot. Eiery and yet appealing cat eye. The pic composition is grand. Oh yes, grand hat sir. Enjoy a day off.

Thank you, Eric. Your view of the cat in this photo is certainly far better than mine.

That's a real prize, Bob!!! Fantastic!

 

[Steve1857]

I'm sure Etsuko more than deserves them . I really love the colour of her hat, and that bow treatment is just awesome.

Great Hornskov, Gary. I really must get in touch with him soon and get myself a custom hat.

Say it isn’t so! If it had to end.. a fitting end with some very fine hats! That heather homburg is fantastic for sure

You may inspire me to do my own Italian (pretty much Borsalino) week... though clearly it would pale in both volume and stature to your incredible display... it might be fun!

Thanks, Joe. All good things come to an end an so it is with Italian week. But if you want to carry on the torch I say go for it!

 

[steur]

I'd like to say, you ended Italian hat week(s) on a high Stefan, but every week was a high. This one, as all the others, was an absolute envious joy to see.

The Nobelsca was the standout, if I had to pick one. Gorgeous looking felt.

Thanks, Steve. The nobelsca is one of the finest for sure; I was very glad Garrett was willing to let go of it.

Winner! What a week!

No argument here.

Thanks, Bob and Brent. Yeah, I figured I'd had to end the Italian week on a high note. The Nobelsca delivers.

Looking at Bob's fine Resistol, then Michael's equally fine Resistol, something I noticed. Bob is wearing a denim top whilst Michael looks like he's off to Siberia. Fellows, you make me feel guilty. Today is the second time this spring that it's been warm enough to give a straw an outing. It's an original Panama by Gamboa. It was even warm enough for a sports blazer.
