What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Short Balding Guy · Dec 5, 2020

Happy Friday evening folks. This afternoon I returned to work wearing an inky blue Dobbs fedora. The inky blue hat can change from a really dark to a glowing dark blue in direct sun. Just some cool chameleon characteristics of this oldster felt fedora.

Cheers, Eric -

Mighty Sharp outfit, Micheal with a killer Homburg in the perfect shade of brown.

That looks really great. What a cool color, and as others have said, my first thought was that it suits you perfectly!

Kind of late to the party tonight. Many errands in the wasteland today. Wore my new Allen Edmonds Broadstreet spectators and a 1950s Echter Borsalino Homburg. Color is Dattero a nice brown. So, a trip to my Haberdasher was in order for myself. Oscar ordered me a beautiful slate gray overcoat in my size so I went all pre-Christmas gift to my self! Can't wait to pick it up, sleeves needed to be tailored. This coat will be a welcome addition to the winter repertoire. Always have to put my best foot forward in the Natty Dresser, finest haberdashery in the state of Oregon!

Truly a fine ensemble! I’m floored at how well dressed you are daily. Sort of drooling at those Allen Edmonds.

Everything a person needs right there. A great hat, some fresh air, hills, trees, a dusty trail, and a color palette in the sky of which even Monet would be jealous.

That is a mighty luxurious looking hat and the ribbon is fantastic. I really like the colors. Gannons keep garnering my attention; they seem like real head turners.

Another great discovery, Steve. Just a wonderful hat from its vintage to the felt and to its back bow. Super find.

Steve, Thank you!

It sure looks like the Hückels we know (and love), Steve. Nice!

Stefan, Thanks! We have a bunch of them.

Wow, just wow! I'd probably still be doing the happy dance.

Stefans, Thanks again! Fantastic series of hats from you. Really great to see the FGM Bayerland and JHS Platin Velours in action. The JHS Platin Velour is so vivid!

Thanks - all credit to Michael - he nailed the 1930s look i wanted - just enough taper to make it a formal city hat..and the fepsa felt is superb.

Looking good in the Open Road. I recently got one in Sage and I like it . I really like the cognac too!

My wife & I went for a drive to a relatively local fish market. We’re having a seafood weekend. Sushi & tempura for lunch.

I wore my Stetson & my wife a Maxim.

Lightly boiled pike eel and raw cuttlefish for dinner.

Tomorrow I’ll be in my kangaroo leather as I fire up the barbecue for sea bass at the pit.

Stefan, it's been the same here re lack of sunshine and daylight. Definitely not conducive to taking photos and posting. With hats like yours though, the light shines every day. A fantastic array. In fact, they're so outstanding, I haven't had time to admire your coats or scarves yet

Italian week is not over by a long ways. I have been neglecting the lounge this week a bit. Scientists were discussing if the sun even came up at all in the Netherlands these last few days; evidence was inconclusive!
To catch up I'll need two parts.

Borsalino Gulaela nero (qualitá extra superiore).

Lavorazione Speciale "rotto", restored by Fleur of Penumbra. Only later found out that these hats were made by Borsalino.

Like the Godfather films, your part II is equally as good as part I, Stefan.

A Mirtillo is always a hit, but I especially like the Mogano.

Nice intermezzo, Stefan. The Hückel is definitely one to wear on St. Patrick's Day.

steur said:
Intermezzo is an Italian word, so this is allowed. Last week the hats were flooding in from all sides, not in the least because of the generosity of my fellow loungers Mark @M Hatman , Brent @deadlyhandsome and Randy @Rmccamey. Thanks guys!
Here are a few hats that came in and I just had to wear.

You have a lot of company! Pretty tame for today, but once upon a time....

Tame is a subjective term. Try posting one of Catherine Bach's publicity pics here...
