What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[humanshoes]

No hats on my birthday yesterday (shame on me). I made up for it today with two different Borsalino Ghiaccios.

Happy Birthday Stefan. Just like fine wine, better when given time to breathe.

Inspired by a recent acquisition of Brent's, today I wore the Barclay rebuild.

That has to be one of the most beautiful hats I have ever seen!

This one again. One of the few hats I might commit a crime over and it won't even fit. Beautiful, Alan. Thanks for sharing this one.

Beautiful, Alan. Love the look of the felt on that one.

Greetings All:
Today....thought i was done with Homburgs but i found some more.
So...for all those Homburg’ers out there...back to America with this unruly sort. I guess it did not care for it’s communal home in a bag.
This one can’t even play catch with that Resistol but it says it’s Superfine.
Be well. Bowen
Ps: thanks all for the Burg encouragements, even that “respectable” one. Lol

Your gag didn't go unnoticed, I just couldn't come up with something as witty. My thoughts went from your Listerine reference to Listeria. There had to be a joke there somewhere.

I stayed way the h**l away from that one!!
Tryin to get “respectable” is hard work. Lol

Thanks very much for the appreciation. I love it too. I don't post this picture often, but you might enjoy seeing the hat as it came to me. I would rarely modify a hat this old, but the wide ribbon was torn and I wasn't convinced it was original to the hat. Rather than put on a new ribbon, I used an old narrow horsehair band. The dimensions are ample and the hat seemed able to carry a western look well.

That looks a very nice Knox Homburg, Bowen. I particularly like the shape plus ribbon and brim binding.
Once you've got the Homburg bug, there's no turning back [emoji4]

The modification worked well, Alan. Nice job.

Thanks, Bowen. I gifted myself a hat to compensate, the spanking was a bonus

Thank you!

Happy Birthday (a day late) my friend! That Borsalino is so special.

Thanks, Mike. It is, but I just need more of them.

I hope you had a good birthday. You should treat yourself to a new hat!

I did! Thanks, Brent.

Yes there is, Red. Wish I had more of them.

Thanks Stefan.

Love those Ghiaccios. Happy Birthday. Is this the big Three O?

Thanks Jim. If only it had Demon in the name.

Thanks all,
Michael

Thanks, Michael! Feels more like the big uh-oh

Thanks, Rick. The wine didn't get a lot of room for that this time around!

Found some more homburgs, eh? No wonder you look so happy! Another super homburg, Bowen.

Love it, Steve. The sweatband stitching looks a bit unusual; was it redone at some point maybe?

Two hat day.
Champ featherweight

P&C Habig

Trying to be more active here on the forums, I went for a walk around the lake and wanted to get some more use out of my newest hat.

Check me out on instagram @Klimasclassic where I talk about vintage finds and classic style

Stefan, Thank you! I think you might be correct because on closer inspection I believe I can see remnants of a lighter color thread.

Super duo of hats from you today with the Champ "Feather Weight" and P. & C. Habig Wien!

Two new hats today. First, a Dobbs Rancher Thirty, then an Optimo McQueen in Silverbelly Heirloom felt.
