    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Friday. My first stab at blocking—before I found this site. When I bought this hat it was advertised as an unblocked Cuenca. What they didn't say was that it had no sweatband. The missus cut one off of a bucket hat and sewed it in along with the horse hair band. She's pretty handy with a needle...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Nice, Bob. I have one of those (silverbelly) on order. I must be a hat-brother from another mother as I tend to like and acquire the same and similar sorts of lids as you. Now I'm going to have to think of a bash for it. Plenty of time, though. Good work with yours. Remenicent of your PBros...

    Stetson Going Hipster?

    If Stetson wants to sell more hats, they should be advertising more than their cologne. They have their head designer active on social media and that's good, but they're going to need more than that. Marketing is much more than buying ad space and air time these days. Particularly if you're...

    Master and Commander

    Having read all twenty-plus books in the series three times over, I had to see the movie. If you haven't read the books, the movie should be great. Having read the books, it didn't do much for me. Characters were all wrong for me. Jack Aubrey is (in the books) a big, imposing man. A slightly...

    Novels Set during Pacific Theater of WW2

    The Thin Red Line is the middle book of James Jones's trilogy. From Here to Eternity is the first, immediatly prior to hostilities. Whistle (which I thought was called Memphis) is the third, dealing with circumstances just after the surrender. Good reads...

    Gotta say Trevi, these bigger brims and crowns you've been getting into are really working. Wish I could pull it off like you do.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Everyone is looking famous today—as usual. Alan, your collection of staw is impressive and you always look well in them. Esther, berets do you just fine. I was trying on mine last night in idleness. Hubby is a natural in his Grand Pappy's cap. cm, the Marathon has that tight Indiana...

    Lee hats

    Indeed it is. Dig the two-tone in the ribbon knot. Subtle and cool. Is that brim binding two-tone as well? I've found a Lee hat box in the attic—but, no hat in it.

    When bidding/buying a vintage hat that you are not able to try on; is it wise to go up a size to account for shrinkage? Or, do you buy what you think may be your size and stretch?

    Penman Hats

    One of the coolest, most purposeful/industrial pinches I've seen. Hard edges, angles and planes. You look like a million bucks wearing it. Where do you go from here?

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I have a nice Boneteria Auloronesa beret on it's way from South Pacific Berets. What with Autumn a month or so away— I'm looking forward to it. A re-sized modern Whippet should hit the door-step today. I'll see if I can pull it off. Go to ebay and the like, and folks know what they're...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I have three Panama's that I've pretty much been wearing all Summer. I get an awful lot of "Hey, Panama Jack!"

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Wow. This is an exceptional page (well, the one before and ending with this post)! Strapped, that Saxon works hard for you. Fruno, I dig the contrasting binding and band—it's a good mix. TPD, sweet Optimo. One of these days... Greg, that lid is now one of my favorites. The best looking cap...

    Danged hats. Ordered another one. Got the 3 month wait this time. I think I'm going daft.
