What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

I don’t know if I was subconsciously influenced by Don’s Stetson Select. But this Stetson Select Quality- The Frey was just calling out to me from near the bottom of the pile today.

Happy Friday!!!

Very hot day today but that's not going to stop me from wearing my Dobbs Golden Coach Twenty-Five. I paired it with somes shades along with a black linen guayabera and black-and-white saddle shoes.

Buckle up, folks, this one comes with a story.

Back in early July, I complimented @Pellie on the Barbisio fedora he had shown off that day, and sighed-in-writing that I was still searching for one of those in my pinhead size.

Several days later, Stefan @steur saw my comment, and offered to look through his collection to see what he might be willing to part with. He contacted me later that day, and offered me two immaculate-condition Barbisios for an astonishingly low price, shipping included.

I of course IMMEDIATELY accepted his generous offer. He said he was also throwing in “a little something extra” to feed my Barbisio hunger. (I figured some kind of paper ephemera, maybe old advertising). After that, it was merely a matter of waiting on tenterhooks for the international shipment to make its way to me.

The hats arrived yesterday, and his “little something extra” proved to be a THIRD freaking hat!!! I am now the (very) proud owner of three pristine Barbisio Titan fedoras.

This is the first, in “cervo” color, which translates to deer. In doing further research, I also discovered it's the name of a river near the village in Italy where the Barbisio line was founded. (There's a LOT to read in the Barbisio Brotherhood thread!) It's too bloody hot in my part of Idaho right now to wear felt outdoors (excepting these pics taken early this morning), so I'm having to content myself with wearing it around the house all day!

Stefan has posted far better interior shots of all these hats in threads here in the past, and his photography skills far out-distance mine, so you're just getting the standard "see my new hat" shots. The other two will be shown in the next couple or three days.

I don't have enough words, to thank, and praise, Stefan for his generosity. I am truly humbled. View attachment 630757 View attachment 630758

We had rain most of the night but now things are starting to clear up and I have a few errands to run. Decided to go with this Royal Stetson Whippet in Dove Gray ... figured you can't go wrong with a Whippet, right ?

A two night trip down to the south of Wakayama was made with a Panama (primarily for driving)…

…and my Akubra Range.

Oh, and we ate well.

Thought id go a little "Mad-Menish" this morning. Tag under sweatband says its a Stetson Concord in Gunmetal color and was a $20 price. 3x Beaver with a 2" brim. Super nice soft hat. Liner is a very light beige. wid ribbon has a cool texturing. Square size tag shows only 7 1/4 (no metric). Im guessing from sometime in the early 60s? Any ideas? I know there was a "Rod and Gun" collection, but I thought those were earlier.

Despite another 90 degree day, I am still rocking the felt. This time, it's my vintage brown Carson Pirie Scott & Co fedora paired with my shades and vanilla bean guayabera.

Happy hot Saturday, hatsters! Cavanagh Milan guessed to be from the later 1950s.

I’ll always thank Dale for this one!!


Enjoy the day!

Gorgeous both inside and out! Does it have a green cast to it, or is that just a trick of the lighting?
