My new fascination is with hats. Fedoras, Pork Pies, Trilbys — not with caps, which so many men are wearing these days.
1980s Flechet Fur Felt Fedora
Facing the weather and the fact that my always thin hair has become terribly fly-away, I’ve decided to upgrade my image by donning headwear that will not only keep my hair in place (unlike a baseball cap), but will add a sense of fashion.

To date, I have a small collection of hats. I tend to favor the smaller brims (Trilbys, Pork Pies), but I purchased a 1960s Mallory Eagle that is the best fitting and stylish hat of the bunch.

I have on order a rabbit fur Sterkowski fedora. It’s coming from Poland and is due to hit my address any day now. I’ll post more when it arrives.
For now, I have a Loden Green and an Oxblood by Bailey’s of Hollywood, which round out the collection. For now.
