What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[RickP]

They keep telling me we're getting a cold front here that started yesterday but with a high of 83 today I'm having trouble believing them. Your post gives me hope! I'm so ready for steady fall temps.

Were supposed to be dropping into 40s at night soon....can't wait for felt and jacket weather

Good news!

Yeah, it was nice to get back into my happy place over the long weekend. It’s been way too long.

First time making ribs with a coffee rub. It won’t be the last.

Etsuko wanted some sweet, sticky ones, too.

Both of you look wonderful, and that Honskov is amaaaaaaaazing! Nice to see you posting again, Gary!

Thanks, Voo.

I must have a thing for these pre-war black longhair dress hats because I have a bunch. This one is a lovely luxurious felt made for Le BHV (Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville) founded in 1856 and still in operation today though it just recently entered bankruptcy protection. Here's hopes that it survives and continues...

I agree with you....nice!

A French hat made by Mossant.

It is very lightweight, unlined, and well-suited for the sunny, mild days we’re having in Italy right now.

When it first arrived, the crown had a shape I really didn’t care for; a bit of steam and a week spent on a hat block have set it right—or nearly so.

The color is "Mine"—referring to a pencil lead—which gives it a gray tone.

As always, thank you for your likes and kind comments. I return the sentiment wholeheartedly.

Looks good, I enjoy wearing the brim up most of the time

This beautiful velour Hückel is a little large for me but I keep to remind myself how fine hatmaking could be post WWII.

A stunning array, as always, Stefan. That Portis definitely gets my #1 slot this week. #2 for me is the Cavanagh, with the Stevens placing third. Thanks for sharing!

Tnank you, Mark.

Hey all, I took a hiatus for a short while because of the site not loading, and spending a lot of time unsuccessfully trying to view and upload photos. Looking forward to catching up a bit, crossing my fingers that I’ll have fewer technical difficulties! Here’s my recent smattering:
