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 had never been 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.

All winners as usual, Stefan.

With its wide brim and, if I'm not mistaken, Fleur at Penumbra ribbon and bow treatment, the Knox 25 is, though, quite the standout this week.

The Borsalino Ludosca just edges it, Stefan, but how difficult it is to choose.

For church this morning, a Stetson Sovereign. Worn special today for Tina, she is my Sovereign and today we celebrated our anniversary. After the service we enjoyed a traditional Sunday lunch at a quintissentially thatched country inn, joined by our friends.

A smaller selection, but awesome nonetheless, Stefan. I'm going with the Knox 25 as #1, the Penumbra as #2, and the Borsa Ludosca as #3. Thanks for sharing!
