What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

Thanks, Simeon. I was lucky and found this a few years ago in NOS condition at a bargain price.

Wow.. I would have thought it was a custom. Looks made for you.

Belated happy birthday to the Missus.

The lady said: "Aw shucks!" Take that as thank you, from me too.

 

[GHT]

Happy birthday to the lady. Looks like it was celebrated in style. Wouldn't have expected anything else!

Much appreciated Stefan, she's gone all coquettish on me now. Take that as thank you.

This wonderful, early spring light shining through the front window on some of my Bowlers led me to two conclusions.

The first was to wear this Scott & Co for an evening outing:

The second was, I need to dust those hats

What I loved about your post Steve was the sentence in which you said: "Some of my bowlers."

How I empathise with that.


My hats are all boxed and being bespoke, have sponge-like forms to keep the shape correct. I will show you another time. I do so like the bowlers.

I have become rather fond of this silverbelly look-a-like.

Etsuko is looking good, love the Maxim cloche. Belated happy birthday Etsuko.

There's a lady that I know who celebrated a birthday yesterday. She came across this tired and worn out hat at a festival, and has since breathed new life into it.

I hope she had a wonderful day. Great photo, and she wears the hat very well.

Cap day

Feeling the need for a little pep in my step I decided to make Monday a Vita-Felt day.

Edward Biskup "Eighteen-Ninety," in Superb Quality, with tacky little stars on the ribbon.

Great hat...Love your diamond.

I think it was Brent who called them tacky back when it was listed on eBay. I rather liked them, so I bought the hat. I still occasionally entertain the idea of removing them.

Whichever way you go, that hats a winner. If you remove would it leave holes in the ribbon?

Okay that is a very cool stack of Bowlers! Is this how you store them or is this just a onetime arrangement to pick a hat for the evening?

They have a little hook that's crimped over the top of the ribbon. They might leave an indentation, but no holes.

Oh that's no problem then. Indentations might even disappear with steam and a well placed thumb, };^))
But those pins do make it unique. There is a forum thread here about pins, and lapel pins used on hats. I recently put a small Atatürk lapel pin on the knot of the bow on my modern blue Borsalino. In some cases I think well placed pins can add a great touch. Of course it's subjective but so is everything in this hobby.

Whatever you decide to do...you should post that hat with stars on this thread: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/post-the-pins-on-your-fedoras.15353/page-28

And, number 3, you need more bowlers!

Great collection. Steve!

Thanks Randy. And that's just some of the Bowlers I have.

Thank you kindly.

At the moment, that's how I have them stored. It saves quite a lot of room like that.

@Bird Lives the hat is a normal snap brim fedora, but I’m wearing it brim up. I’ve always loved how this looks on Alan and some hats it just come more naturally to.

I'm still not certain if it's after market or original to the hat. My guess is the former.

Never occurred to me to drop it in that thread. I'm generally not a.pin or feather guy.

Have to make sure they don't feel neglected! Love the display, Steve and the Scott is a good choice.

Nice swooping brim and lovely colours. Works!

Thanks, Stefan. And thanks to you for it
