Should have worn this for Malrov Monday, but it didn't go with ensemble.

Hello, again, gents. Hope everyone is doing well!

Beautiful hat as always, Adrian. Can't participate in a Malrov monday yet (damn).
A Marathon this morning

Did not sleep at all well last night, so there may be a lot of napping today. I hope.

I do not want to be repetitive so let's say, quietly, that it is another temptation that has gone

The hat, like his brothers, is a product in which Borsalino's hand is evident. Certainly it was made by the Vanzina workers, both for the finishes and for the elements that recall the production of the subsidiary from Borsalino.

Thanks to all those who appreciate the hats that come from Italy and express it with likes or words
Buon Venerdì
Mirtillo eh, so you're just picking blueberries: how can that be a sin?

This is a recent addition, a custom prototype collaboration between a good hat friend and Bob Jessee at Black Sheep Hat Works. I believe the Borsalino western style hat that was used is 1960s vintage, but the felt is pure white gold as from an earlier time. I love how it retains its western vibe even with the addition of a dressy city ribbon.

I wasn't able to get up and about today until later this afternoon. Grabbed the tweed jacket from yesterday and a hat I haven't been wearing as much as it deserves. Stetson late 50's - early 60s Sovereign Twenty with the sweet Mode Edge and some really wonderful dark brown, velvety felt. I generally like a wider brim than this 2-1/4" lid affords, but it's nice enough that I just don't care.

The felt easily molds to whatever shape a fella wants, but to my eye the classic center dent works best with this one. I have the front pinch at about 4-1/4" and keep it level with no rake. A superb hat, really, it fits just a touch loose at size 7-1/2 but feels real comfortable on the noggin'. I wish my pics showed the felt off better. It goes really well with the old copper wide ribbon.

Absolutely gorgeous, Doug. Love the way that ribbon makes the hat shine.

A day out in Copenhagen. Thought it deserved this Borsalino Lobbia bought from Daniele. Once more, Penumbra Hats have done a great job cleaning it and replacing the ribbon and trim on the curled brim. The colour represents that of the original. A big thanks to them and Daniele for their excellent choice.

Have a great weekend fellow Loungers.

I am, at once, saddened, sickened and enraged at the ignorant, senseless brutality this morning at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. I don't think we step into the political realm by offering prayers and good thoughts for those suffering at the hands of evil.

I was out grocery shopping when the news came on the radio. Sad, sad day.

I feel petty and small for even posting a hat at this time. A Charles Knox 40 stingy brim beater from the 60's. Pics taken before I heard the news.

The cats woke me up too early this morning, so here I am on the interwebs and I will share the week’s headwear.

As much as I like the other hats, the Borsalino comes out on top with ease. Great parade of hats, Jeff.

I share the sentiments, Doug. Whatever the situation in the world it's here we come for some lighthearted banter about hats. It's good there's stil room for that.
