What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Bob Roberts]

Thx Alan. Also found a little info a previous Borsa thread. Just curious.

That's the spirit Harv!

Come on over. I need a hand. [emoji14]

Ludoela (along with other spelling variations) on the manufacturing tag. I believe thin ribbon hats have been posted from this period that show "Alessandria" imprinted on the front of the sweatband. Can't find one at the moment.

Did not know that fact. Thanks Alan!

Excellent showing today, lady and gents.
That fuzzy bunny really does match your eyes, Esther. Looks wonderful on you.

I replaced the cheap 'n' funky sweatband in my little Biltmore with a better one, so I figured I'd better break it in.

Have a great day, everyone!

I like this one. It has character.

TY Bob and Eisenpforte. For something that's out of my usual wheelhouse as far as crown height and brim width are concerned, this little near-stingy is quickly becoming a favorite. The brim treatment is what first got my attention when I saw it, then the 5 dollar price tag....

We had an unusually cool August evening for West Texas so out came my pecan VS. This is my go-to hat.

Don't take this the wrong way... But you've got a real good hat face.

All hats fit well above it

And I mean that in all seriousness... Not everyone has a good hat face.

Great VS

Thanks moon! Wow, that's probably the best hat related compliment I've ever received! That may explain why I get hit on by the little old widows at church .

Moon, I was thinking the same thing. I think you guys with facial hair have a leg up on the rest of us. Symetrical fur!

My wife is looking forward to the removal of my 'symmetrical fur' after Labor Day weekend.

Wearing the grey Caxton for Thin Ribbon Thursday.

70's Dobbs Imported Verona for the humid day. Nice EBay find.

Have a blessed day, fedora brothers.

Great Borsa Tommy, is that a gray color?

Hato, it's "Bismuto" kind of a sort of grey. It's one of those hard to define colors and even harder to capture in a picture.

Bob, it looks my tag says "Ta Ludola" (I think?). What Alan said, or some variation. This hat is from the corregated sweatband "Thingy" period

Roger, that VS is awesome. No wonder it is your "go to".

Mark, Cariduro24, looking sharp this Thursday, gents! Great hats!

HAHA! It doesn't usually grow in in symmetry, though. Believe me, my face has no advantages over any other!

I agree on the VS, Rogera - love that color.
Moe, good rescue job on the Biltmore. I just received a new project in the post yesterday. I'm going to have to find time to get to it. It'll be my most challenging one yet.
S4C, the Caxton Man! You should convince her the fur should stay.
Nice Milan, Cariduro

Bucking Thin Ribbon Thursday because I haven't dusted off my Akubra Fedora in much too long.



Hoping everyone has a great Thursday...

Thanks guys for the comments on my Portis Milan from yesterday. I've not had much chance to hang out here of late, but I have been able to check out a lot of the very cool hats. Nice to see some new Loungers too.

Finally a cool morning here in Ft. Worth - high 60's at the moment. Rare chance for a felt hat, a Stetson 25

 

[EstherWeis]

Ha! I know how you feel, and i even have 2 cats around.

I'm in a purple tissue felt with vintage grosgrain.

Have a nice day everyone!

Thanks for the compliments on my VS yesterday guys. Strapped, Cariduro, Frunobulax, David,EstherWeis, great start to a beautiful Thursday!

David this is very unusual weather for mid-late August, in Texas that is, it's only 65 here right now! I'm lovin' it. We'll be back in the 100s pretty soon though.

 

[1mach1]

Stetson 3X OR

 

[Rogera]

Nice Harv!

Great hat choices, everyone!

Yes, that is the other variation. The meaning of both is a mystery but the color is from the metallic element series, this one being bismuth - very leadlike, though "plumbo" was also also featured by Borsalino at this time.

The hyphen between the felt color and model indicates a ribbon matching the felt. Had it been a contrasting color, it would be imprinted there instead.
