    Bidding Farewell to Old Hats

    I got the tawny fawn. I didn’t like the color at first because it was too brown and I wanted more yellow, but I like it quite a lot now.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thank you Red. This was something like my 10th time to return to the U.S. from living internationally and every time that custom’s official says “Welcome home, sir” I get a little tear in my eye. Your comment reminded me of that.

    Fascinating reflections of two hatted “ghosts” in the windows. Where is the fellow standing whose reflection is in the driver’s window?

    Springfield - I think some of the overflow students from CFI headed up there for training. I’ll be down in Neosho the next four weeks. I’ll blow a horn for hat lovers the world over!

    Started a training program today for my Class A CDL. I was the only guy with felt - the trusty Last Drop 3X. He recently had a pre-WWII cavalry cord added to him. Here’s to the next four weeks in Joplin, MO - quite a change for me from SE Asia! Cheers, Nathan

    Ahhhh, cool, this thread is you. I obviously haven’t spent any time with it yet, I certainly look forward to it now!

    Thank you hatophile! He’s my one and only wide-brim at the moment.

    Western, anyone?

    Thank you sir! I’m trying to keep it as pristine white as possible without actually closeting the thing ...I learned a few lessons from my last vintage white 3X, which now has this unholy sweat stain on the front of it!

    Thanks Jones! It’s a wee bit small, I’m slowly getting it stretched out.

    Western, anyone?

    Agreed. Here’s a shot of my new-to-me 3X Stetson just to put this back on track. On the wall is a portrait of my father, brother and me done when I was a boy. Best regards to all, Nathan

    Western, anyone?

    It just boggles my mind when I read statements like this (from the article you posted): “Most Americans believe the U. S. “Civil War” was over slavery. They have to an enormous degree been miseducated.” Maybe, but when it comes to the act of Secession itself slavery was such a foundation of...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Thanks BamaBoots, that saves me a lot of looking - Hobby Lobby was exactly where I was going to go. What about J.R.’s - do they do any real hat stuff out there or just stock the modern models?

    True enough BB. I actually deleted the comment... It’s past my bedtime and I’d like to just keep this about hats.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    So I needed a workhorse hat and decided on this old Bailey 5X. It looks like it needs a good brushing - I certainly hope it doesn’t come with any bad odors that can’t be brushed off! It also needs a ribbon. Anybody got any ideas where one can pick up some two or three ply ribbon to put on it...

    I grew up and continue to live very internationally. There was a time when I was having a bitter struggle with my American identity, but I couldn’t for the life of me get over the thrill of the Revolution and the first few decades of our nation. Man, what an exciting time! I’ve recently...
