What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

Spring is definitely here in Denmark, Nathan @The Lost Cowboy , but there is still a chill wind in the air.

Ca. 1950s unlined, wide ribbon Borsalino sold at Sools to start the weekend off.

Oh, I like that one a LOT, Joe! That ribbon is scrumptious!!!

Adam Majestic today. I believe this is a '40s hat - very comfortable non-reeded sweatband.

Happy Friday hat lovers!

Very nice, Nathan. Love the jacket, too.

Two Borsa day!
3” brim in a champagne color, “Western Style”. A real light weight.
And a nice taupe…that’s unfortunately too small. View attachment 692733 View attachment 692734 View attachment 692735 View attachment 692736 View attachment 692737 View attachment 692737

TWO lovelies!!!!! Sorry about the fitment issue...

 

[VoodooSan]

Well. I love the hat but not yet “me”. Feel I need to have spent decades in the Mexican dry lands herding steers to justify wearing it. Also out of bedevilment will post on a style forum occupied by one of the largest gaggle of tolls I have witnessed on forums.

It is a Panamanian Fino in their largest brim and curl. Actually strip the lining out and it is a brilliant hot weather hat as it was designed to be. Now the photographs. View attachment 692739 View attachment 692745

Just my opinion, of course, but I think that hat looks tremendous on you. My compliments of that beautiful jacket, too.

Another beautiful day, today under a Cognac OR

DAMN!!!! It's amazing how superior that cognac looks compared the "regular" straw. Mine looks positively sickly compared to yours!

Actually I think this hat frames your face quite well, it looks great on you! Also those boots look real nice as well— which brand? Look like Redwings but not quite

The boots are Grant Stone and they do a solid boot at a reasonable price if you hunt the specials and discounts. Only issue for non USA buyers despite telling you the freight is free when clicking the small print says this only applies to USA buyers. Another small issue is the speed hooks are bit soft and can bend easily. But in all good to price equation proving the limited width range suits your foot. I am EE so the E is a bit tight and the EEE bit wide. The range of leather options are outstanding.

Thanks Mark, I bought the hat for the colour... had to get used to the OR style but I am now definitely lovin' it! (and I wouldn't call your exactly sickly... LOL)

Thank you Mr F-101 (play on your forum handle). Coming from someone with such a collection if great hats I consider it high praise.

The jacket is a strange beast. It rather proves fit matters first as it was MTM from the Jacket Maker and I got my measurements right. I lengthen from standard as I find longer jackets better suit my shape. However the Jacket Maker’s leather is rather not like normal leathers and arrived with a plastic type smell that has gone now. I think it could be the coating finish or the leather itself. Curious what others have found with the brand. But certainly a good style.

Very nice, Nathan. I like the minimalistic ribbon (if you can call it that), or did it used to have more?

Always nice to see a wide ribboned hat, especially if it's a Borsalino.

ChatGPT is a great tool for researching things so around 1930-1950. If so looks to be in great shape. Love the colour and look of the felt plus the wide textured ribbon.

Do you think it is a beaver mix?

After a brisk sponging, brim flange and shaping Early 40s Vita-Felt western featuring the Borsalino style corrugated sweatband. I couldn’t be happier with the proportions and hat shape.
2 3/4” brim, 5 3/4” crown. I’ve only seen one other posted on here by @carouselvic, though I’d guess there are others.
