Beautiful, Michael! I’m a real sucker for colors like that Hanover Square.

I've never been successful in adding to the Top Ten Hats thread, but if I were to pick a single favorite hat it might be this Borsalino thin ribbon. The color "monlov" which seems to defy translation, matches nothing and goes with everything. Perhaps it means "my love"? The felt is superb - light, finely finished with a crumple that makes it a pleasure to form. But mostly, it just suits me and I feel wonderful wearing it every time I put it on... the mark of a great hat, no?

lastly a comparison shot with another Borsalino Ludoela of a similar era to show the monlov hue.

It certainly does suit you! It’s an amazing hat, and the color is so unique. I love those unreeded sweatbands.

Optimo Melusine today.

That one is very very nice. Sharp color choices, and that melusine finish is so luxurious.

I can't capture how shiny it is in the pictures. It looks as if the hair had oil smeared on it. And it feels silky, very pettable.

Falcon Park against a “nice” 1960s sound absorption tile on the wall of my tiny college teaching studio, and then against the sky with rapidly moving clouds.

Love the colors on the hat. Actually the whole outfit is great.

State exams today and tomorrow which means, for me, jacket and tie (and waistcoat) just because I want to.

And with that ensemble, and the trench coat, the brown Gledhill's works very well, both colorwise and dimensionally.

Thanks Stefan. You are looking good in all of today's choices. When is the Hanover arriving?

Thanks Jeff. Great Falcon Park today. Quite the color difference in that photo set.

Thanks Bill. It's been awhile since I've had either the Hanover or the Norfolk jacket out.

Thanks,
Michael

It should (and probably would) make anybody's top ten, Alan. I like it more every time I see it.

Confirmation that you have one heck of a hat collection, Alan. Not that confirmation was ever needed. Plus, damn man, you look good in all of them.../QUOTE]

Great job Scooterz! That's something I've tried my hand at a few times. Having a kiln would help.

You can use a turkey baster to heat treat small quantities. I use sand in mine as a buffer to keep it from heating and cooling too fast.

Nice one. But be careful around trees and especially conifers; their sap and resin make stains that are very difficult to remove.

Thanks for the caution. So far I have not suffered irreparable damage. Wear the hats is my mantra.

Gorgeous hat Daniele. Is that wisteria behind you?
Love the beachcomber Eric.

Thanks Perry. I do really like the Beachcomer and worry I may wear it to an early death.

hatophile said:
Another great hat, and shoes Eric. Really the whole outfit is top-drawer.

Thanks again sir. Never can have enough costumes for a day!

steur said:
Good to see you around in homburgs some more, Eric. You wear all your hats well and the homburgs are no exception.

Thanks sir. The homburgs and all the other hats on my hat rack need more head time.

Jeff, high compliments from you. Thanks sir.

A big thumbs up to all of the likes and comments the past few days. I do read them all and appreciate your comments.

Cheers this evening to the hat parade. May it never cease. best, Eric -

Today was a two gray hat day. First a memorial service this morning. An Art Fawcett “Honeyboy” was the hat of choice.

Second up a vintage Mallory Aristocrat for my annual eye checkup and errands.
