What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Mickey Q]

Morning walkabout in the snow under the brim of a Gannon Wanderer (steel gray with charcoal trimmings).

Snow removal under a Filson Mackinaw cap.

Warming up with some coffee under a Gannon Wanderer (whiskey with charcoal trimmings).

Cheers, Eric -

That whiskey color is so good. I want one that exact color

Check the Gannon thread out. He has been commissioned to make a bunch of different styled fedoras with the Winchester Whiskey felt. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/m-c-gannon-hat-company.83744/ .

Lots of felt offerings from Gannon.

Another whiskey shot.

Thanks and happy hunting.

Love that hanger feature! Never seen it. Is it part of the wind cord or different feature altogether?

It’s an independent feature which I have used a lot in restaurants.

A few days ago my friend Stefan asked me to decipher a paper label of a Borsalino.

The color "Destrina - Dextrin", I assume was his curiosity

Ascertained that Borsalino used this color, I remembered that I have a hat of this color. Here it is.

To be exact it is a "modern" G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro".

Size 6 (French point) or 59 cm. in US a 7 3/8.
It comes from a deposit found a few years ago near Ferrara, the result of the closure of a hat shop

I found the hat together with others built in the 60s and 70. In the next days I will show them to you because even in this period there were some small masterpieces ;-)

Have a nice day and thanks for your like.

Good morning folks.

A morning walkabout wearing a Mallory homburg. This inky blue felt is showcased by the burgandy trim. A very classy look that better shows up in daylight.

A switched to a different homburg for some shoveling. The Dobbs homburg is certainly a unique green felt.

After the efforts the homburg went on a hat block to dry out and I switched to a Stetson Vogue to fill feeders and move some cut wood.

Cheers, Eric -

I'm loving that green Dobbs today. You are the sharpest dressed snow shoveler out there, no doubt.

Better late, and not forgotten, my annual November 22 post, a 1960s Cavanagh in memory of President John F. Kennedy. This was the style of hat he *didn’t* wear… or did he?!

So we hit December in Japan.

I know it’s early for Stingymas, but since I’ll be in New Zealand with only one or two hats, I won’t get to participate. So I figured I would share my modest collection of stingy brims in the lead up to the main event.

First up, a Daniele Tanto special. The Véritable Feutre de Poil. A French hat from an unknown maker with a sweatband and ribbon from Penumbra hats. The heathered felt is a fur/wool blend.

5.5cm brim. Stingy enough to qualify, Joe?

Gorgeous hat, Gary.

You make wearing a bowler appear to be cool. The liner of this one is special.

Thank you, Eric. Appreciate it.

Super looking Cavanagh, Charlie. Great photo of JFK and Ike.

I have one of Gannon's earlier Whisky felts with the copper ribbon. The Whisky is a great colour. Now I want one with the charcoal ribbon.

Latest arrival

Mallory must have made some great hats because every time I see one the felt quality looks so damn good! I never see them for sale either.

Mallory are for sure some of my favorites. I would love to have some more pre 1946 Stetson takeover which I don’t come across too too often…. But honestly the Mallory hats I have handled say first 15 years post are very well made and styled hats. A really good quality era for them in my opinion.

 

[Blare]

I admire the Coast To Coast. That is a sharp hat. Mallory made some darn fine hats into the 50's.

Thank you Eric. Agreed. They are some of my favorites. In fact most of my Mallory stay on my hat rack Ready to go.

Always a treat to get to see the blue Mallory Homburg. That Dobbs is quite the gem as well.

Amazing, Gary. Who would have thought that could happen.

Switched between the two games in this group.

Way to go Japan!

Borsalino ca. 1960s.

Wonderful how the different artificial night lights bring out the nuances of the felt colours in this one.
