What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Frunobulax]

Nerdy nice, Jim. Is that the one with the 3" brim?

3 1/4". Quite the acreage for me.

Oh, crap. My wind trolley is askew. Hope Moonie doesn't see this.

Don't know how I got "nerdy nice" out of very nice but it seems appropriate. I'll just leave as is.

Nice Twenty Five. I'll show mine off once it gets a bit of TLC from hat master Art.

Nice!Also nice!

Also a @Miamibruno acquisition, Stetson 25 for today's drizzle.

I figured it was an autocomplete gremlin.

Thank you! Looking forward to seeing it.

Alan, I know this one. BilCal (Bill & Caldwell) were well known importers so not sure if there was a store. My guess is the branding was for America but the hats were redirected to the Czech market.

Bill & Caldwell "Importers of Stiff, Soft and Straw Hats" (from an Borsalino advertisement in The American Hatter March, 1922)

Thanks for this, Steve. I didn’t find much of anything searching for Bilcal other than previous tenants of that address. The building is gone today. This hat came to me recently courtesy of our friend Garret.

Alan, you've got me figured out. I do like modest moderate hats and furnishings. It amazes me that you remember my posts. My memory seems to be fading. I do remember you as having lots of style and pizzazz. I have been away for several years as I acclimated toward the Florida climate.......... Hey, did I see you on TV the other day? I could have sworn it was you wearing a hat.

It’s good to see you posting again. We had a mutual acquaintance years ago in my neighborhood hatter Gary White.

Last thing you check in a mirror before you push the shutter button.

Alan, This hat was part of my May 2015 Czech find so I did some digging around back then.

Like @Michael A, it's Marathon Monday.

They even look close to the same color.

Nice hat. It does look about the same color. Could be the same hat if you put a bit wider ribbon on it. Are there grey fibers mixed in with the blue?

Still a firm favourite. The donegal suit is killer, Michael.

Thanks Stefan. I need to remember to get this suit out more often while it's cold. It's a heavyweight.

Borsalino Albino today (after the withdrawal of yesterday's meltdown).

Another super hat and outfit combo.

That entire outfit is perfect!

Thanks Dm101. The Filson has been getting quite a lot of wear this winter. At the rate I'm going I might just wear it out, in another 150 years or so.

Thanks,
Michael

I'll have to look closer when I get back home. I think mine's a tad older than yours, though.

Ribbon switch, or did it come that way?

Very pretty out today.

I think the cap and Woolrich gear are well suited to the task at hand.

New to me Lock & Co today. Unlike @moontheloon, I like black hats. Unlike @steur, I like green ones, too [emoji2]

Now THAT is a hat I have never seen or heard of before!
I'm learning so much on this forum about many things.
What is that hat made of/from?

I know right away when it's an Adrián, @Miamibruno hat on ebay. The angle the picture is taken in, the background, the quality...
I've had him on my saved searches for a while now. Besides, always a fair price, always shipped promptly, always an expert and honest description, and he speaks Spanish.

I just wish he listed more 7 1/4s and 7 3/8s.

My error this morning - it is a Playboy not a Stratoliner. Thanks for the catch.

It's fur, or hair, but I'm not at all sure what kind. Could be calf, could be something else. It was made by Peterson in Stockholm Sweden. Not at all sure on the age part either. Great cold weather cap, whatever it is.

Thanks,
Michael
