    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Happy 4th July to all Americans on here! Been too busy to spend time procrastinating online or take pictures of hats, so I have hundreds of posts to catch up on again... Leaving on a trip very early tomorrow with only two hats in my hat case (but perhaps returning with more, who knows). I will...

    Coffee, grind your own?

    Freshly ground coffee makes a cuppa so much more enjoyable to me, not just because the taste really is better, but it is also part of my morning ritual. I use a Zassenhaus hand grinder, but I have also got an old Braun electric grinder as a backup for when I am really lazy.

I didn´t get round to taking pictures of my hats these last couple of days as I was distracted by dentist´s appointments, must remember to take a photo tomorrow... Beautiful Stetsonian!

    You deserve a beer after that! Enjoy the weather while it lasts :) I agree, that hat does need to be worn more often! The crease looks nice like it is from where I'm sitting. Love that liner picture! I like a nice liner - no one gets to see it when you're wearing the hat, but it just feels...

    Mint Borsolino $350 comes with letter of authenticity

    We are a bunch of hat snobs, it's true I'm afraid ;) But once you get to know people here, you will find they really are a great bunch. I for one would love to see some pictures of you wearing some of your hats in the What Hat Are You Wearing Today thread. It's a good place to get to know people...

    Thank you very much for the compliment. The hat is by Gabriela Ligenza by the way, I forgot to mention that earlier. I like the progression from business to casual in these photos. Three very different looks, but all great! Such sweet pictures of you two! Nice hats too.

    I am really sun sensitive, so there is no way I am leaving the house without a huge hat and factor 50 sun cream in this weather! Thank you Michael, summer has finally arrived up north :) Thank you so much!

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    Thank you very much, it is good to be back! And I am happy to have finally found a worthwhile hat on the local flea market, hopefully the first of many :) What a great bit of history, Steve, I really enjoyed that post. And so nice for you to have come across a seller with such knowledge. Your...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I definitely have more hats than shoes and handbags combined... But maybe I am not your average woman. I just don't understand why these loungers' wives aren't happy that their husbands love hats so much.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I am loving all the straw hats on show today. I am in the market for a new Panama hat, so it is giving me lots of ideas. Now to decide what to get... Thank you Red, knowing I made your day makes me happy :) I hope your dentist's appointment wasn't too awful and you're not in any pain. At least...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I should have known you were way ahead of me! I am sure there already is some sort of smartphone app you can use with trackers so that it starts beeping when you come near the hat :) I have started a trend :) Looking good! Now I know what that hat needs, some birds nesting it! Unfortunately...

    Thank you Michael. I just get quite excited about getting my straws out at the start of the season, don't worry, it'll pass. We still get a lot of rain and wind here, even in spring and summer, so the felts remain on standby.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yes, I suppose it would be. I guess I have been living in central/northern Europe for too long, I think it is warm and time for summer dresses and straw hats when temperatures get to 20°C! Thank you very much :) Thanks. Maybe you need to start organising your hats in a spreadsheet with...
