What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Wyldkarma]

Nothing drab about that one, Ken

Thanks Steve. I really like this hat but it's a hair too small. If I try stretching it the brim goes out of whack, I may take it to a local hatter to see if they can put on a brim stitch or maybe a brim binding to help support the floppy brim. ???

The color on that Borsalino is terrific.

Our resident newspaper archive wizard @DaveProc recently posted some wide ribbon OR ads that he found through 1941. The first mention I found (during my insomnia) of a thin ribbon OR, in the Miller Stockman catalogs specifically, is from 1949 and 1950, though these ads list a 3-cord band. The first ad of the 4-ligne ribbon OR that has been discovered and added to the Miller Stockman thread is 1956. Maybe the Stetson ads thread has a more precise date. There were certainly any number of thin ribbon, bound edge hats that could be considered forerunners of the OR style through the 30's and 40's though. Even the 1902 catalog shows a variety of thin ribbon Boss Raw Edge hats which could be argued to be something of a progenitor of the OR.

Thanks, J Lee

Been reading old threads all night and can’t find all the OR answers I’m looking for. Always enjoy reading old threads, though.

Brilliante, Daniele

Grazie Alan. The "Daino" surface is a little bit bright, the sun helps a lot

Love that green color Daniele.

Thanks Perry. It is a very particular green

Wonderful looking felt and shape, Daniele, and, oh my, the colour.

I agree Steve for color and shape. A real surprise these "La Famigliare" hats

Joe it seems the perfect hat for your...

Vintage Borsalino in fall colors.

Bill the color is really fine and the surface of the felt is called "Peach", see the paper label, because the finish has a special hand

Yesterday evening I was galavanting about in a Lee Adventurer.

Good morning. Early morning dog soirée was taken wearing a Stetson Bantam.

A stroll about on the property in a Portis Whipstitch.

Cheers, Eric -

 

[Daniele Tanto]

First of all thank you for your likes which I reciprocate.

Today I don't want to leave my Flemish correspondent, Stefan, alone on the Bantam road.

Mixed Loden "Cappellificio Cervo" Bantam size 60 or 7 1/2 in the USA.

Gorgeous day with beating sun and mild temperatures, ideal for walking.

Bantam Felt is a mixture of grays with long and short hair to obtain a splendid mixed effect, in this case "Misto Cenere"

I hope this mild autumn time is maintained ... meanwhile I wish you a happy Wednesday

 

[MisplacedHillbilly]

I'm just kick'n it in my old beater Resistol 4x.

Hard working hat!

Hats at work are my favs! Cheers.

I am heading out in a Mallory Dallas for errands and work.

Thanks for all the likes and responses the past couple of days. Best, Eric -

I really like that Lee Adventure. What is the brim width? 2.5?

Mallory The Dallas a great hat

Walking to work on a cold northwestern morning in my 80s/90s Stetson 4x with a new coffee-dyed replacement ribbon.

 

[steur]

Escapades to the butcher store was taken wearing a pre-40's Borsolino mid-day.

I took an evening walkabout in a Knox Dallas.

I dropped some food on the above brim. After cleaning and sitting the hat to dry on a block, I switched to a Gannon Wanderer.

The granite beaver felt changes colors in the different lights. Tonight it is gray-brown.

Cheers, Eric -

More or less all your hats make me a bit jealous, Eric, but that Borsalino especially so.

Wegener "Start" possibly late 1920s. A Felt mélange with a Rauh / Rough Finish. A Curled Brim with a Blind Stich Over Welt which was typical of the time period and place. Also has a Back Bow.

Beautiful! I really like this style.

Today I worked in the tide of hair that has reached Verona in recent weeks.

Putting in order and classifying, photographing and putting back in the boxes, the work has been going on since this morning.

A friend asked me, it was slightly ironic, to wear the Borsalino Panna. Here he is satisfied
View attachment 372751
His was a question to try to see if a 58cm Alexandria really fit on my head. There it is!

There is no trick and there is no deception, just the fun of wearing a very special hat.
Nice, but not for me. Anyone interested write to me

Nice Monday to everyone

We don't get to see you in a lighter coloured hat often, Daniele. Like you said: the hat is nice enough, but maybe it's just not for you.

A Bailey thin ribbon hat was my choice for a morning dog soirée.

A morning walkabout in a Brock fedora. "A Canadian Achievement."

"Artcraft in Hats."

Cheers, Eric -

Artcraft in hats is the right description. Wondrous.
