What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Thank you, Stefan. Your opinion means a lot to me. You always dress with such class and your hats are fabulous . LOVE that Caxton!

Thanks, Doug! I appreciate that.

Took a chance on this on eBay and got lucky. Really sweet felt with one of the smoothest finishes I’ve laid hands on.
Apparently he was a custom hatter in the late 90a early 2000s. There are a couple of short threads on FL

The head shots are close to actual color

Very cool hat, Richard. You did indeed get lucky. Nice colour and I like what he did with the brim edge.

Beuatiful; a commanding hat!

@Frunobulax "made" me buy this. It came yesterday.
He and I both thought it was a homburg from the pics on the eBay. It ain't.

Royal Vita-Felt.

Good to see you back, Matt. Looks like the brim wants to be somewhere in between homburg and fedora. I would like to see it turned up too, if only for Bob Robert's sake.

I needed a change so I reverted the brim shape of my Falcon Park black cherry lords hat to the way Parker originally made it for me.
Enjoy your day!

Earlier this morning, for reference:

Looks good either way, Jeff. I kind of like these swooping brims myself.

Wearing a gift from a fellow Lounger who wishes to remain anonymous. My thanks to him for the hat. This is a Culo Brutto Borsalino in black. It's my next project and is already on the block. The felt is real nice and the detailing is second to none. I'll be reusing the original ribbon work and brim binding. There's plenty of hat here to work with and it should make a very nice conversion. I'll be squaring up the crown from its previous very tapered form. It has plenty of open crown height, (somewhere between 5 3/4 and 6 inches tall), and a 3 inches wide brim. I'm not a black hat fan but I may make an exception with this one when I'm finished. I'll have more in the Conversion Corral when it's completed...

Very cool, Terry. I'm curious to see what the end result is going to be.

Great minds think alike, @Redfokker. At the dentis with a Mallory XV with Duplex Edge.

Let's see what Goofus and Gallant are up to...

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Great hat, Jim. You look a bit like you're expecting root canal work though...

Hey all!
The previously discussed Borden. I used a flange and hand shaping to put a curl back in the brim, but I think I'm lacking a technique and probably a tool or two to get the tightness back to the curl.

I was having bad luck getting decent pics, weird lighting today. Here's one that shows the brim a little better.

Have a great day!

Still looks good, John. It's the kind of curl Matts' hat wants I think.

Akubra Fed 1V in black with a turkish towel $12 doubling as a scarf. Duluth firehouse presentation blazer ( SUPER PRODUCT ).

I will have literally one month to wear this combo starting in late Dec ! View attachment 137491 View attachment 137492

But it's a whole month of looking cool

1930s Dobbs for hijinksifying.

Happy almost Friday.

See? A good homburg is the natural way! The homburg nation approves, Matt.

 

[steur]

Good to see you Matt, looks better than a homburg anyway. Very cool Vita-felt

That can be considered blasphemy, Richard

 

[steur]

I wore this hat all day, but changed jackets after the mail arrived. I like the way the natural felt is so versatile.

Grey homburg, very classy.

Thanks, Christophe. Can't go wrong with a good homburg.

Dobbs Twenty I picked up in a Wyoming cowboy outfitters this summer.

I need to steam the front brim or something as it is a little flat. It was on a shelf for a looong time according to the shop as everyone wanted real cowboy hats.

Happy Friday!!

It's good to have a black one Terry! …………….at least three of them period. It's going to be a merry go round but great to have options! I only wanted one but ended up with a couple more.

I think to put it into perspective? Black is menacingly sexy! Just me again fella's

Can't wait for the transformation!

Cheers!

I never was much of a black hat guy but I'm kinda warming up to them, some. My new Borsa conversion will be my second black hat and I think it will make nice one. I'm anxious, myself, to see how it turns out. Here's a black Resistol thin ribbon conversion I did last Fall...

Very cool, Terry. I'm curious to see what the end result is going to be.

Thank you, steur. I'm curious, myself. I think it's going to be a nice one when it's finished. My first Borsalino.
