What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

I like old pens too, got some off my grandpa, I'll smoke a cigar once in a while, I'm like an old man in some ways lol I just need to get into scotch or whiskey (although I did chug a 1oz of Louis XIII before, I really didn't know the price on that one, and the 2nd ounce I got I sipped) and get that old school car. I also do enjoy nice watches, non digital. Too bad we sold my grandpa's old Mercedes a while back.

Your like an old man in some ways, but most of us here are old(er) men in every way!

That's beautiful. What colour is that? it's so light!

Today....confessions of a hat addict, hoarder...whatever.
I am sitting dwelling on having just committed to selling one of my hats. I’ve never sold one of the kids. It’s one of my 7X CB ORs.
That hurts just to say it!
I don’t have anyone to talk to about it, the dog ignored me, cruel dog, thus the post.
I feel like the dam has broken and damn, it feels weird. It’s not the money, it’s not like i’m deprived, just depraved i guess.
Thanks, i feel better.

Knox, old, light as a feather and you all may recognize the signature crease.
No, that’s not a wind trolley, it’s ribbon.
Be well. Bowen

Would that be the first step in some sort of program. Bowen? Feels like I'm in a permanent relapse myself. The Knox is outstanding, so it looks like that made you feel beter right away.

A guard dog for your hat; cool! That hat deserves one for sure. Wonderful, Greg.

Doug: great hat. I keep seeing that jacket. Love the grain in it! Goatskin?? I like the collar.

1950s Cavanagh, reddish brown (the fluorescents don't do it justice), wide ribbon.

Never get tired of that one, Scott.

Nice vintage Champ in the rain. 40s, I'm told.

Magnificent, no matter what decade!

I'm the opposite of Stefan, Max. I love green hats and everything about that CC is very nice indeed.

I'm not wearing this but I finally got my vintage Borsalino hat today.

(had to ship it to someone in the States, then they shipped it to me, so I paid double shipping + some broker fees because I used my company's address, what a mess).

And the original posting said grey. But it's honestly a beige, I'm quite disappointed because I have 3 hats now in this color and I wanted a light grey which is what I thought I was purchasing.

The photos they had for the hat, one was outside and was more beige looking I figured that was because of the sun or bad lighting, and they had one in an "indoors setting" and that definitely looked grey. I moved my hat around in different environments and it's still a beige or taupe. I'm a designer and I know my colours. This is a beige, if I'm pushing it, I can say there is a hint of grey but it's definitely NOT a grey.

I'm not sure what to do, I just contacted the seller, but if I have to ship this back and all, I'll have spent like 100$ on all the shipping.

I'll echo what the other have said: keep it! That's a fine looking hat and there's nothing wrong with having more hats in the same colour (and shape).

It's such a nice day today I took a walk to the store, but not before changing hats. And for a change, I photographed it outside.

Stetson, cream in color with a slight touch of green. This hat just oozes cool.

It does (but I'm ignoring that slight touch of green).

Today....i’m being a bit of a protagonist for this particular Borsalino in case anyone out there is struggling with realizing how awesome a hat it is. I love my Borsa’s and would not hesitate to compare felt quality and craftsmanship, attention to detail and most of all their look to any of the finest vintage hats available. This hat is one such example imho.
Felt density and thinness rivals most if not all other hats i have. For a hat with a liner, it needs a wind trolley just to keep it from floating away!! It creases with just a thought. Wish i had one in tan!
Okay, endorsement over. Not trying to start a brand fight, just my opinion.
Be well. Bowen

You'd find me on your side in Bowen's battle of the brands. That hat made my heart skip several beats, I think.

That's beautiful. What colour is that? it's so light!

Thank you it is light but doesn't always photograph that way. It's silverbelly, which the longer I'm around hats within that color range, the more confusing it can become. I've posted a few pics of that 7X CB alongside a 50's 7X CB and a Stetson 100 that comes from the same era as the first 7.

You're forgiven, Stefan, especially as you have been good at finding green hats for me [emoji4]

Strange how they seem to multiply by themselves, isn't it? Before you know it you have a herd!

Yeah, me too!!

Wonderful to see them together like that, Greg. Fantastic hats.
