    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's not really a "before and after." The hat with "new" sweat and liner had neither when I bought it - only a peeling Stetson decal and size label (7-1/2) - so it was not wearable until it was refurbished. The exterior and interior photos (with brown sweat & no liner) in that post are of a...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Found some pics. Here is the one I used to have (and interior shot). Current hat interior after TX Hatters renovation.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Nothing significant to see in the interior. I found the hat on a table at a gun show in Fredericksburg, TX, but it had no sweat band (only the Stetson decal, which was peeling off, and the size decal). So, I took the hat to Texas Hatters in Lockhart, who installed a new sweatband. This hat...

    Uniform shoe

    A few years ago Bates was offering a higher quality dress shoe in leather with leather soles - much better overall quality, came with shoes bags, etc. I picked up mine in the Navy Exchange in Norfolk. Not sure if they are still available.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I'm not sure if I have posted this hat in this thread - today I am wearing my black 1930s Stetson Standard Quality. The felt is amazing - soft and stays wherever you put it.

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    That is really sharp looking!

    Hats on TV

    David wasn't allowed to advertise his involvement until the show aired, but told me he made Brosnan's hats for show, plus a couple of extras the production company ordered. He also advised Brosnan spent time at the shop watching hats being made and was fascinated by the process. He ended up...

    Akubra Overload

    I have had my Bushman on here before, but have made some changes to the crease – after adding some rear dents, it is now more of a Gus/Diamond. Photos were taken in different lighting – color is Nullarbor Tan.

    Hats on TV

    Brosnan's hats for the show were made by David at Texas Hatters in Lockhart, TX. I have a couple of episodes recorded and plan to watch them before I pick my hat from TX Hatters this weekend. https://www.texashatters.com/famousclientsfriends.html

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    Both of those look great! I was probably subconsciously plagiarizing your crease!

    Hats on TV

    Getting reacquainted with the great TV western “Maverick” over the past few months, I have paid attention to their headwear, which for most part, are excellent hats. Bret Maverick had two hats (not sure where he kept the other one?) – a black one woen for gambling, and a silverbelly(?) when...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Please forgive the heresy of wearing this hat before Straw Hat Day next month, but could not resist trying out my new Stetson vent-weave 10X “straw” Open Road. The color is “Toast” (slightly darker tan than the photo shows), with a brown ribbon, and seems lighter in weight than my other “straw”...

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    Thank you for all the likes and positive comments on my Akubra Bushman yesterday - but you may be taking them back today. I have always liked the way the crown came out (from the front), but I started playing around with the hat last light and added dents to the back, making it a kind of...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    In anticipation of today’s alleged rainstorms (that were supposed to start at 6AM – still waiting), my Nullabor Tan Akubra Bushman. Very happy with this hat, but for some reason I don’t wear often enough.

    A White Sport Coat...

    I always assumed it referred to a white dinner jacket - that's what my brother always wore to prom, etc., back in the 1960s - and probably why I wear one today.

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    I apologize if I have posted this one before, but here is the Gus/Tom Horn crease I put on my Nullabor Tan Akubra Bushman. I think it gives the hat an early 1900s Stetson look.

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    I think the spots are on the photo - no marks on the coat in photo with his granddaughters.
