Brian's Hats

Hey there,

this is probably going to sound really unhealthy, but I'm absolutely obsessed with Brian's choice of headwear. I'd love to own a hat like his. Anyways, I was wondering whether anyone had any good stories/ information/ comments regarding his hats. Please don't hold me for too creepy

That old hat he always used to wear (the one consisting only of patches) is from Donegal, Ireland and made by "Hanna hats". All of those are individual so you can't find an identical twin hat. Don't know anything about the other hats but I heard something about that red hat he wore more recently...can't remember what though

I have one of the patch hats, but mine has a popper button to button the peak and material together, i don't think brians has the button, i can't seem to find any without the button

Just checked out the Hanna Hats, might be ordering one of those soon. I'd be interested to see what you heard about that red hat, I quite like it. I also just realised what a loser I am enquiring into a man's hats.

I think it was my sister who mentioned she knew someone who had a hat of the same brand as Brian's red one...I'll ask her ^^

She said it's Criso (the bassist of SHARKS) who's got one of those and she'll ask him. I'll come back to you in a couple of days...

Im pretty sure the hat is a Levis Hat but they seem hard to find.

A stingy fedora will work as well. Get one that isn't made in China and you'll be set for years. Look around your town for a hat place. I know that some of the quainter towns have them. If the town is like old money or have a university your chances are better at finding a hat shop.

Dude, I wanted to start a discussion about the exact same thing! O_O I would very much like to get my hands on a Hanna Hat.

Haha, I doubt I'll find any hat shops in the valleys of Switzerland, other than the ones that sell those delightful hats that the yodelers wear Good thing I'm going to the UK soon. It would be great to find out the brand of that red hat. Thanks a lot for all your Input and most of all thanks for not judging be because I'm obsessed with hats

Try a "Christy's" brand hat. I wear porkpies / fedoras / whatever you want to call them as well, and this brand makes quality headwear for pretty cheap. I bought this puppy on sale at Urban Outfitters for $5.

A thread about Brian's hats. Great.
In my town there is a shop called "Irish Berlin" which offer hanna hats (also the patch hat Brian is wearing) but I think 38 Euro is too much. But I love that Sherlock Holmes hat!

haha, love this thread. I wish Brian still wore that patch hat all the time!

About that red hat..
It's from "New York hat company"

Thank you ever so much. I now know what I'm getting when I come to the states this summer (:

The fact that the model name is "Louie" and I'm called "Louis" has to be a sign that this hat's the one. Made my day.

brixton makes a nice fedora. got mine off of skateparkoftampa.com

Target has a very similar "patch" style hat. I got it, love it. Prolly cost around fifteen bucks for those of you like myself who cannot afford custom-made masterpieces from Ireland!

Anyone know where i could pick up a edcent flat cap online. Not looking for one of thepatch hanna hats. Looking for something more like the on brian has on in his wikipedia page? I'm totally obsessed with his hats!!!!

I got my flat cap at goorin bros. you can do a quick google search for their name. They're a hat company out of san francisco, make awesome fedoras, caps, and flat caps.
