What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Thanks for the welcome. It seems we have our work cut out for us in regards to the 7 5/8 problem. I only like vintage fedoras, and good luck finding anything over 7 3/8!


They’re out there, but they take a lot of time and effort to find and don’t come cheap when they do pop up. I keep saying that I’m about done with my collecting, but I keep looking and adding the odd piece. I hope to not be much competition for you.

After almost 3 hours in the dentist's chair today, where my teeth were scanned, cut, filed, measured, and hacked in order for a bridge to be put in place (felt like the Golden Gate Bridge was the role model), I felt like feeling human again by showboating one of my favourite hats. This wonderful Borsalino Lobbia curtesy of Daniele a couple of years back.

As always, thanks for all the likes and comments on my other posts these last few days.

There like M & M's . I can't stop buying vintage fedoras! Still on the hunt for a game bird Dobb's in our size!

Homburgs seem to be the theme with me lately. This Tirard "Edka" was supposed to have been a bowler. Fruno made me buy it. Glad that it wasn't and that he did!

Good to see you hanging around some, John. Fruno will cause a man to reach for his wallet. I've moved along every hommie I've owned but I've always liked the looks of them and still do, just not on me. I really like the profile of that one.

Hey all!

No subtle color undertones here..

Doesn't seem at all out of place atop a shirt with pineapples. :)
Have a great day!

I'd have worn it differently, John [emoji4]. Nevertheless, it has a great shape, size, colour, and it looks darned good on you. Nice buy.

Thanks Greg!
I feel the same about most Westerns...they look great on everyone but the guy in the mirror.

Most likely German but no company marks. The construction methods are primitive so possibly a local hatter. The black Fur Felt is tissue thin and will change form with just a slight touch. Difficult to date but I think it could be old. I can't remember when I found this one but luckily it appeared to me today so I decided to wear it.
