What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Lost Cowboy]

My first new hat in over a year turned out to be a real winner. I couldn't be more pleased with this Dobbs Fifteen unless it came with a wind trolley!

To paraphrase HJ quoting Paul Simon: we haven't had any sunlight around here in over a week (maybe even two?). It's beginning to feel like Northern Europe in Alabama. I had to manipulate some of the photos for visibility.

What a great find, beautiful new hat!

ANOTHER beautiful hat, Daniele! Thanks for sharing.

Mark and other FL fellows, thank you for your kind words.
I've always shared hats from my vast, if not very vast, collection for the past decade or more.
Last year, I almost completely stopped due to health issues.
This year, I returned to my usual recovery mode. In recent months, I've been back to full capacity, so I've resumed buying and displaying.
At the beginning of 2024, I completed my hat census with the decision to sell a good portion of my collection. Then something went wrong, and I found myself on hold.
I have to thank you and all the Fedora Lounge participants, whose appreciation has rekindled my desire to start over and supported me in times of need.

We are grateful that you are here. Between your knowledge of Italian (and European) hats and the ability to display ones that can only make some of use green with envy, it is your continuing contributions that will keep many coming back to check in on what can we see now. Thank you.

VERY nice, HJ! The S&G line took me back a minute.

To paraphrase HJ quoting Paul Simon: we haven't had any sunlight around here in over a week (maybe even two?).

My mood meter had bottomed out from seasonal disorder from the weather & lack of sunshine. When that happens lyrics & quotes often come to mind.

Oh my!!!!!!! Stunning, sir!

Sincere sympathies, HJ. Having uncontrollable, outside, circumstances make you feel rotten is not at all pleasant.

Cavanagh in "Brass"???
Or, is "Brass" the name of the model???
Basically, it's a Cavanagh. LOL...
