Out with my woman at a very classy vineyard, wearing what was labeled as a pork pie but seems to me to be in between a pork pie and a bolero.

Lots of lovely all around you, sir! That is indeed a porker. The slight snap of the brim in front might confuse some, but it’s definitely a pork pie hat. You’re rockin’ it!

Coloring up for late October here in New England with this Custom Hatter of Buffalo (NY) by Gary White. I grabbed two hats from Gary some years ago when he had a small quantity of Borsalino blanks with manufactured brim edges. He only had two (slim-brims) in my size, so the choice was easy as long as I didn’t mind the tiny brims.

Nice looking hat Charlie

Thanks, Joe. I was lucky to find out about these. They don’t make these edges anymore. I wonder if he has any left in other sizes?

Not only for Winter. My vintage Nutria started out as a "Oppenheimer" style hat.

I would honestly love to have more vintage Nutria hats to add to my collection...

Even though it was a Western the felt is also thin and light enough to be a fedora for Spring and Summer wear. I really like these vintage Nutrias.

You have found a secret formula, Terry. What an exquisite end product the nutria (and YOU) makes!!

Steve, Thanks! Your Agnoulita has a great Felt + Band color combo. I also really like the Felt finish.

Thanks, Steve. I'm very pleased with it myself. Big thanks to Panos for parting with it.

That's a beauty, Charlie. And as you say, perfect colours for autumn. Love the bow treatment.

Wonderful Borsalino, Alan.

Willoughby velour. Thankfully, it stood the test of on and off showers.

MaxLachlan Golden Beaver Hundred. The X was unintentional, but since it took two months to have the hat restored by Optimo, and we cleaned it, replaced the ribbon, reblocked it, and duplicated the crest in the new sweatband, I decided to leave it.

There's what I've been wanting forever! A thin ribbon Borsalino! That is one awesome hat!

New in just arrived from Wosfbrae Custom Hatters (@belfastboy). It is silverbelly, 160gr Ukrainian rabbit felt, suede finish. 2 7/8" raw brim, 6" open crown with top crown and side venting, and unlined with bright copper grosgrain ribbon, and neutral brim binding. I’m digging it.

That’s class.

Great example Jesse, looks almost unworn! I found a vintage OR with the same ribbon treatment, don’t see too many of those either.
