You wear those thin ribbons well, Perry! Today, early in the morning before the heat, I wore my new-to-me Borsalino Feather Weight.

RLK helped me date it based on its paper tag: between 1945-1952. Pretty vintage, I'd say

Yes, Carla the maid! lol

Yes, Carla the maid! lol

Wouldn't the bow be on the other side for Carla????

I don't think it was actually a woman's hat, just the way the company described the color and ribbon, I guess. Unless, of course, Carla wore men's hats! lol lol

Had a function on campus today that necessitated business formal, topped it off with my Resistol Gotham I in "orbit" grey.

Too much taper and not enough crown for me.
At least the way it looks in this photo.

That one looks GREAT. Just the right amount of taper and hieght to the crown for your face . JMHO

Hatto - those OR's always look good on you.

Aureliano - Carla's hat looks great; I really like those Featherweight Borsalinos.

Looking good for the business event, jlee. Unusual to see you with such a narrow brimmed hat.

We had a long day today, driving to Philly to get our daughter moved into Drexel University for her freshman year. Finally got everything organized, so here is the student and I after we went for dinner. Appropriately, the Stetson Zephyr Weight I'm wearing was made here in Philadelphia, about 70 or more years ago:

DJH, Congratulations, a daughter going away to university is always a great occasion. I hope she enjoys her first year, just not too much.

Though I don't mind taper, this one doesn't have it and the crown is a little over 4 1/2. I think it's just the angle of the photo, Rusty. Take a look at this studio shot I took:

This is my other Feather Weight, almost the same exact proportions:
