What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[sergejvandervreede]

The last of my NorthWest Purchases. I was originally expecting this hat to be a shade of charcoal darker than what I received. Almost heather black to be exact. Then my idea was to put a black bow on top of it so it popped just a little bit from the hat color. Unfortunately that is not what I received. I also think the crown is too high which gives off a cartoonish look a la Porky Pig in a Gangster Suit. Anyway I kept it because I hate going to the Post Office.

Hmm, not cartoonish to me at all. I think the higher crown works for you. Only one mens opinion and I'm biased. I really like tall crowns.

Wow, you two look impeccable. I hope you had a great night out. That peluche looks luxurious, and the hat has just the right dimensions for your face. Great choice!

Thank you, Celia. I have enjoyed wearing it through the years.

I really like that one, Harv. Fantastic.

Wam but wet day here today. 3X Open Road taken just before the rain started again.

Excellent!

Let's start with the ribbon disk. Here's a link to a vendor who sells it in the US: https://www.judithm.com/products/ribbon-disk
And here it is in use, mine is from blockmakers Morse Brown:

It's only useful for straight brims (fedoras etc), if the brim curls up like on a homburg then it's of no use because the ribbon is not curled on its folded edge.
I think you're making fun of poor me with the fake Persian lamb question... probably the word would be faux persian lamb? http://www.moodfabrics.com/black-faux-persian-lamb-fur-309383.html

No, I'm not making fun of you. Fake or faux, it's the correct way to say it. I'm just a smart-aleck, Cristina. And I can't risk low-hanging fruit.

I've poked around Judith Miller's site in the past. Never have ordered anything though. And I've never tackled brim binding before. I can swirl a crown ribbon pretty well freeform, though. Thanks for the explanation. It's great to have knowledgeable hatters on the forum.

Lovely day. I need to build a sauna.

Freezing cold outside, but classy and warm and stylin', Michael!

Rocking it today Michael! You get a real Ho! Ho! Ho! on that outfit. Great cap and jacket combo. Love those Woolrich products.

Thank you sir. The cap and jacket seemed apropos the season and the job at hand.

You and your wife were impeccably turned out last night. Fantastic hat and great style for both of you. I can't even remember the last time I saw someone in black tie in this town, who wasn't performing in a choir or something of that nature at least.

Wow! That's a great hat. The texture jumps of my screen. Color is superb!

That's not even what I'd consider a tall crown. Harv has some tall crowned hats, and Moon... this one is 5.25" as creased.

I do like this hat, but I miss having a brim. Back to brims tomorrow methinks...

Love the hat, looks good on you. Who made it?!

Walked outside this morning and it was in the mid-60s. I will not complain.

Because of all the fowl talk yesterday, I stand (and sit, when appropriate) with Moe.

Thanks for all the fun yesterday.

Have a happy Sunday.

Amendment: I forgot my "Because sunshine..." pics earlier.

Phew... I feel better now.

Have fun.

Gorgeous colour, looking smart!

@Frunobulax There's just three chicks in this thread and you're getting us mixed up! ;-)
A ribbon disk is not really necessary, you are right about that!

 

[Redfokker]

Thanks, always happy to make someone smile That new hat you got from Moon is a beauty by the way. Lovely colour, suits you perfectly!

Thank you. I just can't seem to take it off! It has very stroke worthy felt as well. Can't wait to see what you are wearing in upcoming days!

Yes, this is what I'm talkin about! What vintage is this beauty? Old or new...

Foggy Sunday morning.
I'm reading and writing about the Borsalino situation, so I decided to improve "the support" to all the Borsalino passionate

Borsalino in grey, contrasting black ribbon, name Kristal

Qualità Extra Extra Superiore

Short hair fur felt very malleable with overwelted brim finished with three stitches

Buona Domenica!

Very nice looking hat Daniele! Love the color and texture.

 

[Redfokker]

Beautiful as usual Esther. The colors look great on you. Thanks for my morning Esther-fix!

 

[sergejvandervreede]

You look great Esther (as usual)

Thank you, I feel better as well. That Game Bird is pristine! It's good you kept the feathers intact. "Life with the top down!", Fozzie Bear was right!
