What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Dlaniger]

Today a hat among those bought in my "lucky" purchases of summer

Borsalino Qualità Superiore. Color is "Mirtillo" size is 59 cm. and is a new production

After so many rumors, false news and big lies on Borsalino, here is an example of modern production

It is well understood that you must know how to choose, but I see with pleasure that a pair of hats from the 18-19 collection are fantastic and have a "good" price, even less than one of the many hatters now active

It came new and unworn along with two others

Have nice day. Thanks for your appreciation on the deep grey Flechet

Very nice hat, Daniele. You say that Borsalino is a recent production? It has an attractive crown, brim binding and stitching. Borsalino fedoras with bound edged brims are hard to come by in N. America. Does that particular hat have a model name? May I see the liner? I guess you can tell I just like that hat. I don’t always comment, but as a Borsalino fan I always enjoy your posted hats and supplemental information.

Just when I think your hatbands can't get any better! That is beautiful!

Thanks Ed!

Bob, a word of caution. Over time those Sterling silver and/or copper hatbands like that will cut a grove into the brim even when they fit tight, but especially when they fit loose.

I remembered your earlier warnings when putting it on last night Jack. It will only see occasional use (and that hat gets all sorts of hatbands plopped on it anyway so the rotation should extend the life).

Cool hat and lovely coat, Bob. Excellent combo.

Thanks Stefan! The Resistol 'Ten' fits pretty snug (being a 7-3/8) so was appropriate for the windy day.

Your memory is better than mine; I didn't remember the earlier warning. Sorry for the repetition.

Walking the kids to and from school on a snowy Kentucky day, the Campdraft Deluxe in Cedar Brown served me well.

Hey all!
A break in the rain. Out and about in the Lee White Label Doe-Sheen Fifteen.

Have a great day!

Nice, Moe. It’s got that good classic form. I take it that’s a late 40’s model?

No worries. It's good information to have out there for all to learn from. I'd hate to end up with a fez...

Terry here the pictures of Borsalino with the shape of the Thirties View attachment 146129
It is a Borsalino hat made for the USA market in the fifties
View attachment 146130
As you see the brim are not so wide, but the crown is very high and with a particular shape
View attachment 146131
Take your inspiration especially for the crown-ribbon part, as long as you like it and be useful.
Hope it helps

Thank you, Daniele. That looks very nice. I like that. It might give me give me some ideas.

Wearing my Kevin McAndrew today. Brent asked me about the felt on this one, and I said I might be misremembering, but I thought it was about average, nothing special, and a little stiff. My memory was correct.

Thanks, Max. The liner is nice and the shape is great even if the felt is only average.

I'll tell my wife that!

I hope she believes it!

I have always enjoyed this Lee. The Doe-Sheen is such a cool marketing tool.



Good to see everyone again. The Sixteen Fiddy has such a great finish, and great color.

Thanks Mike!
Just feeling the finish would sell it to most of us here.

I'm sure to have said this before, but that hat is just awesome!

Thanks Stefan!
You may have said it before, but it's awesomeness hasn't diminished since. Always bears repeating.

Thanks D!
Late 40's to early 50's would be my guess.

LOL...could happen easy enough.

I really like the whiskey felt. Great looking hat. From a compulsive poster...just can't let these beauties go unnoticed.

Thanks, Mike. I also appreciate that you used the right word “compulsive” and not compunction; it’s the little things that make me smile.
