What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Mighty44]

For today, the last day of my sixties, a pre-war nutria with a very thin ribbon, tailored edge and some real/clear confusion.

Thank you, all, for the very kind words.

Yowza! What a thing! Love it, Jonathan.

Love that one, Jonathan.

A real gem!

Wow... can you share or direct me to additional photos of this hat?

It is a beautiful afternoon to sit outside with a bowl of ice cream.

1950s Canadian Royal Stetson.

Happy almost Birthday, Alan!!

Maybe … but I don’t see why any company would name a hat after some obscure song lyric. Particularly name it after the losing horse - and the company is called “Champ”?

I gotta stop getting sucked into these hat mysteries.

I have to agree that it DOES seem a loooong stretch. I think I'm going back to my four-martini lunch theory.

Agreed, your theory still makes the most sense.

Wolfbrae Wednesday, I love the color on this Ukrainian rabbit felt, and Robert's liners are some of my favorites.

Echter Borsalino "Export Qualität" "Ecosca" possibly mid to later 1950s and a recent arrival.

A great looking Borsalino Homburg, Steve. Looks darn good on you, too.

Great hat for a great day!

 

[rogueclimber]

the incredibly strange model name of Portly Lyric. I can't even BEGIN to figure out where they came up with that.

I'll head a different direction

It's not over until the fat lady sings -- Portly Lyric????

Or perhaps...

Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go round

I think that qualifies as a Portly Lyric?

Beautiful hat, Alan.
And, since this is an international forum and it's already tomorrow in Greenwich, Happy Birthday!

I like it, Rob. I suppose, theoretically, somebody in Marketing in the 50s could have been blessed with a wry sense of humor. I think I like this better than the the martini concept!
