What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Me and the youngun braved the rain and wind to join Mom for a ride to the mailbox (it’s five miles away — I’m not that lazy).

Grabbed the grab-and-go Shudde Bros.

I don't know if the windbreaker or the hat is older.

However, today with an antique jacket and black Barbisio with pleated ribbon sold in Germany, I enjoyed the sunshine of a warm autumn.

Great discovery of Stefan who has hit my tastes, on the other hand I treat him very well.

This is one of those hats that when it reappears from the boxes it always gives me a bit of emotion.
Happy Friday to you all

Hawes Von Gal, c.1910. Among the rarest of rare... a soft hat with longhair finish produced by a short lived company (founded late 1800s, entered receivership in 1914). Many advertisements for the Hawes $3 hat survive, but precious few examples and almost all are stiff hats in rough condition. Well made and beautifully finished - from the drape of the bow, perhaps a silk ribbon. I don't wear it often - hope you enjoy seeing it.

My goodness, Alan! I’ve long ago exhausted my vocabulary to adequately comment on your hats, but this one just moves me. What a great hat, and I did enjoy seeing it. Thank you!

1950s Dobbs Homburg
Black with Black Cherry Trim
5 3/8 crown with center dent (about 6 open)
2 inch black cherry grosgrain ribbon
2 inch brim to d'orsay with 9/16 binding

Latest arrival 1950s Dobbs Homburg with beautiful black cherry ribbon and binding. The hat arrived in an ample sized box however the seller protectively wrapped the hat in a bag tight enough to leave the brim a bit boxy. Kinda started rounding out over night. The generous crown is about 6 inches open. It does not currently hold any side dents.. in fact it almost seems to prefer open over a center dent. I imagine some steam would allow it to retain various shaping. It arrived in time to accompany my beautiful wife and I yesterday for our 14th anniversary dinner.

A true joy to behold, Alan. What a shame Hawes didn't last longer.
