What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

I have been wearing the same Knox 20 2-3/8 brim for a few days now. I particularly like it combined with this Trojan leather from Lost Worlds.

Happy Sunday friends.

Two comments that made my Sunday. Thanks fellows.

Stefan's Tress&Co. hat would have been a good choice to compliment this blazer.
As it is the bespoke Gamble & Gunn really does sit well, it's Tina's choice,
she made the trousers after being inspired by the hat.

I've just heard, "and the tie." The lady is looking over my shoulder. A striped tie
in grey, white and silver, proved elusive, so Tina made me one. Such is her talent.

Sartorial splendor, thy name is Robert.

I believe that, rather than "old", Joe, I would describe that beauty as "venerable"!

I don't buy as many fedoras as westerns, but I do hunt daily for those from Portis. When this Lite-Wate appeared, with a ridiculously low BIN price, I immediately snatched it up.

It has their “sporty lining”, and the sweat is alternately marked “Tissue Lite.” It’s light grey, with a beautiful dark navy band, complete with wind trolley. The bound-edge brim is 2.5”, and the center-dent, front pinch, crown measures 5” all around. I can find no info at all on the original retailer (Huddik’s, Pontiac, MI), but the sporty liners are generally held to be from the late 50s to early 60s. And neither of the “Lite” appellations are misnomers: this baby weighs in at a marvelously airy 2.6 ounces!

Very very nice!!

Glorious in grey, Robert.

Much appreciated Stefan, Tina was impressed with your understanding of plenary indulgence. She must have missed your explanation of looking it up.

Sartorial splendor, thy name is Robert.

Thank you Mark, always so complimentary, incidentally, I passed your kind sentiment onto Tina, my wife. She made the shirt, tie and trousers that you see in the photo. "Aw shucks!" is all that she said. Take that as a thank you.

What a great find Mark

 

[steur]

Oh, happy Sundays!!! Far and away my #1, is the heathered Cambiaghi. I honestly let out an solemn, whispered, "Oh!" when I saw it. It's been a long time since ANY hat actually evoked an involuntary, out-loud, response from me. Second place goes to the Fléchet, and third to the Barbisio. Thanks for another glorious display, Stefan.

Thank you, Mark.

Now that is a beauty, Mark. Classic colours and these lightweight hats are always fascinating.

No need to tell her that now. Leeave a bit of that good impression intact!
