    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Love it. Still looking for a nice Boater in my size (don’t tell Etsuko).

    The most active thread is probably “What hat are you wearing today”. So post daily hats there. Also if you look through the hat forum, you will find threads to show different kinds of hats. There’s a Homburg thread, for example, and a bowler/derby thread. There are also separate threads for...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    We’re into the rainy season in Japan, so I’m on a regular diet of polypropylene (Akubra Capricorn), … and palm straw (Sunbody and Tula).

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I love the colour of the Valensy. It really pops. But overall, I think the Borsalino Cecosca Rutenio is my favourite. As usual, they’re all beautiful.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    When we drink a good beer, we usually go for Spiegelau glasses. Like a good wine glass, they accentuate the aromas of the beer. But much of the time, I settle for cheap, not so tasty beer. Good glasses accentuate the lack of flavour, and seem to make them taste worse. In that case, I go for...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Just got home from work and asked Etsuko about it. She thinks that with her long hair, it wouldn’t blow right away - her hair would stop it to an extent, It’s never actually happened to her, though.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Behind the neck. Etsuko’s (long) hair goes through the loop. I edited my previous post after you’d already seen it to say “Etsuko says she can’t feel it when wearing the hat. A good option for those with mid-long length hair.”

    Panama Hat Thread

    Does it go under the hair, or under the chin? This one is not visible when she’s wearing the hat.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Maxim, a women’s hat maker in Japan, provides little stretchy cords with their hats that attach between the stitches of the sweat band. You then arrange it under your hair to hold the hat on. Etsuko says she can’t feel it when wearing the hat. A good option for those with mid-long length hair.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Further update. On my home network, I can’t see your photos. If I turn off wifi, I can see them. This only happens with your photos, and no one else’s. This is what I see… If I leave it a really long time, I get this…

    Not sure what’s happening. I can’t see any of your photos on this page or WHAYWT. Not on the iPhone, not on the iPad. It seems that others can. This happened once before.

    The Akubra Cattleman can only mean one thing… Barbecue time. Texas style spare ribs.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Cheesecutter (there shouldn’t have been a space in the original post - spellcheck) is the regular name for that kind of flatcap in New Zealand. It wasn’t so long ago that I thought it was just the regular name all around the world. Anyhow, I love the name and I’ll be damned if I’m going to...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Day two in Nara. We visited the Kasuga Taisha shrine, a world heritage site. I’ll try to get some pictures up in the Fedoras Afield page lat, but for now…Same hats as yesterday. I called Etsuko’s a Tula yesterday. It’s actually a Maxim. Mine remains an Akubra Range. Deer roam free around...

    Actually the bow is different, too. Quite a few differences after all. Your pinch seems a bit deeper, too. I guess they are similar dimensions, though.
