Today as most days during summer, I wore one of my Akubra Hayman's, but on Saturday i found a suit that i could wear with my Borsalino, I have been looking for quite a while and finaly got lucky at a retro clothes store near home.
The suit is a Stafford Ellinson, (Marcus) in dark grey pure wool...
I use foam head manequins tastefully spray painted and old Bobbins from spinning mills to hold my regulary worn hats and those on display rotation , they are used to decorate the front entrance of our home and easily grabbed on the way out of the front door , those not on display are kept in...
In my neck of the woods Hats are back in fashion , it's great to walk down the street and see other men both young and old wearing hats , some could do with some advice re - sizing and style though .:)
Sometimes it is good to see famous people wearing hats but unfortunately most of them only seek publicity by whatever seems hip at the time .
I am much more heartened by the growing number of average joe's wearing hats, in my neck of the woods hat wearing is booming .
I would renmove my hat more often in resturants etc, but the lack of a safe place to put my hat means i leave it on , even the coat check people these days seem to have no idea of the value of a hat or of the value the wearer places upon it.
I dont really care one way or the other.sure it would be great to see some of the abominations people call fashion dissapear . I just think it would be to painfull to witness a fashion driven return of the Hat at least untill people's tastes mature,at this moment i fear we are at the mercy of...

Today i have been wearing a very nice dark grey Huckell Fedora that i bought off Ebay . had to pad out the band a bit but the condition of the hat is far better than i was expecting.
I drive a 2000 model Subaru liberty Heritage that has been modified some what (because i like going very fast on twisty roads), and always wear a fedora whilst driving , i am also building a mildly cutomised 1964 Falcon hardtop for a more sedate ride. However i would love a 1950's Buick coupe...
There is no doubt that eating out for hat wearers is fraught with danger and quite stressfull , a simple solution for safe hat stowage would be very welcome.Glad to hear your hat was saved.
It's plain that all over the world people have been hurt to varying degrees by the downturn in global finance , it is also obvious that the cause of the downturn was that alot of people wanted more than they could afford and the financial institutions were only too happy to lend money to any one...
I think mario has hit the nail on the head as it were . I also wonder whether the different types of bash evolved as a way to indidualize your hat and make it easier to find on a crowded hat rack or in cloak room.
It's defineitly style and function for me , i love the look and feel of a vintage hat , i choose an appropriate hat for the situation .
Fashion is for battery hens.
