What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Today saw the debut of my Wolfbrae Panama. Plantation style with a ribbon made from silk kimono fabric that we provided. I’d seen Robert recommend getting the shape of your head using a flexicurve. I decided to do so, and what I discovered was that I am not, in fact, a size 59, but a 58 long oval. I think I lost just over half a cm by shaving my head. The new hat is a great fit.

Excellent week, Stefan. I’m going with the Borsalino Vaiato. Grabbed my attention right out of the gate.

Here is a lightweight (64 grams - 2.25 ounces) Borsalino Pocket Hat. It seems many of the hats made for the tourist market in the 1950s never made it out of the coffin shaped boxes in which they were interred for the journey homeward. Every one I've found over the years were never worn but each was a challenge to unroll and freshen up after half a century or more of imprisonment. This one seems a natural for rolling with its grosgrain sweatband, but I won't be doing it again any time soon.
