What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

That is one great Stetson Matt! The color is a real statement. Who did the surgery? I'll be home fighting a head cold on this rainy Wednesday. With time to play with hats and my fish tanks.

Thanks Mike. @bond found the hat and converted it. He did a beautiful job.

Hey everyone!
Grey hat for a grey day. NOS Borsalino from the 80's that I got from Daniele.

I'll most likely need my raincoat later. Oh well, it was nice to have a dry spell, brief as it was..
Have a great day!

Nice Bob, rich dark chocolate. Almost how I have my coffee colored.

That brim stitching is wonderful! More please.

Nodding to Parker Melvin with two of my falcon parks this week so far.
Needed the extra bold boost of confidence this week. Oy.

You are well on your way to that boost. Saturn V boost I would say!

This hat is an online lesson of how a true Whippet should look. Stealing those images.

I agree with Serge's response. D'Aquino is a good value for a custom fur. The hand-feel of the two rabbit homburgs I purchased from Luisa are not as soft as a vintage American rabbit fur, but not as rough as an Akubra standard finish. My only complaint is that D'Aquino passes over some of the finer touches in order to keep production economical. Most notably, the brim binding on my homburgs overlaps in the back (a good 3/4") and it's tacked on using a rather large stitch, the liner is synthetic and is glued in (although a removable liner can also be provided), and the reed stitching on my gray hommie has begun to fray slightly. But all-in-all, D'Aquino's offerings are a good value and are very sturdy.

I'm still eyeballing a grey Bowler from them. How much was shipping to us on the west coast?

Lends a new meaning to "eat your hat."

It actually got a few "looks" from the crowded restaurant. Removed it and placed it on the chair next to me, proper etiquette you know!

It has been raining hard all day here. I'm going to have let some water out of the Koi pond before too long. Love the finish on that Borso. Daniele is the best!

Wow! That makes these hats really affordable.

Thanks... not sure if you want more photos of this hat or more posts... here is the post I made to the Dobbs Diner when this one arrived.

Akubra Fedora in Burnt Oak, which to my eye is indistinguishable from the Cedar Brown. Dang fine hat, though - doesn't get the head time it deserves.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.
