What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

LOL...right after you play Saint James Infirmary.
The actor Hugh Laurie is an accomplished Bluesman & does a great version of Saint James Infirmary. Good heavy blues!

When I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
The gang'll know I died standing pat

I tried it one night at Open Mic Night & slayed it just like you did!

Mostly trilby's & flat caps:

Thanks @hatophile. I love the line from an old blues song about luck.
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
I'm going to see if I can play that on my ukulele

Still smiling

Sounds like a winner, Aloha.

Wearing my brand new Texas Hatters Derby. Even though I sort of mostly steamed away the crown dent (that occurred from the shipping box), there are still some small lumps and a visible striation, so they are sending me a return label so they can fix it professionally. I hate to send back this sweet new lid so soon, but I think the custom price tag warrants a perfect finish done the right way, instead of at my own hand.

You need a green one for St. Paddy's Day.

Today....it’s a hat that is so difficult to capture the color/contrast and felt texture.
It’s a lovely blue Camel Hair Disney.
I can’t say enough about how interesting this hat is from the one piece corded reed-ribbon to the felted brim edge and the felt...the felt is divine and equals if not rivals my best of bests.
Every time i grab it i get as excited as the day i recieved it.
Yeah, i kinda like it.
Be well. Bowen

One of the nicest hats I’ve seen in a while. I love the felt. Very nice, B.

Might be blue, but has me seeing green with envy!

Brand new, and super stoked. I can see this getting a lot of head time.

Good get, Jeff. That hat is you alright. The brim curl looks excellent.

Truly outstanding hat, Doug.

I thought that line was from Hee Haw.

Gloom, despair, and agony on me...

Turns out it's a lot windier and colder outside than I was expecting.

Will have to find another layer and maybe something with earflaps if I decide to go downtown.
Have a good one,
Michael

I'm liking it even more now that I have my own version coming in soon. Lovely hat, Michael.

My Borsalino brown shades continue

Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore size is 6 1/2 or 60 cm. for US size is a 7 1/2

Color is "Bronzo" and type is "Faunosca"

The felt is very malleable and soft. It was probably made in the fifties

It remainds me Italian men in the fifties and sixties with this shape of hats and heavy wool coat

Buon venerdì, compagni di cappello
Thanks a lot for your likes and kind words on the Borsalino "Caffè" one of my favourite color

Another wonderful example of superb Italian hatmaking, Daniele. I love the Borsalino Faunosca model; wish I had more of them.

Nice day here today it's dry, and in the 60's. A perfect day for my Stetson Frederick wool. Love the hat, and will replace it with something similar in a fur felt.
