    I, too, have had a bad habit of saving everything nice “for a special occasion.” I was reminded that waking up is a special occasion, so I am enjoying my nice things more. Which reminds me, I have an unopened bottle of Blanton’s...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    While attending a milestone family celebration in another state, my wife and I had a few moments to browse a local antique store (didn’t find any hats, only two empty boxes). A friendly local gentleman wearing bib overalls commented on my hat, and we exchanged pleasantries. He continued...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I was watching that one. Couldn’t make up my mind about it. I bet it’ll work for you, and I’ll be sorry I passed.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Stetson St. Regis to greet an old friend, Mr. Sun, today. Today is not the initial wearing, as I forgot to post a photo from yesterday’s trip to the local winery with Mrs. Snowman.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Now I feel better about being the only bidder. I know I’m getting something good! I was going for two of them, but misjudged in the last few seconds.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Dobbs Fifteen from Shudde Bros. on a gloomy, wet Monday. This “Leisure Flex” is without a doubt the most comfortably fitting hat I own. It was listed as a 7 1/8; it fits like a small 7 1/8 or a large 7. It has a loose feel initially, then it just clamps to my head, but not tightly. I don’t...

    Thanks, Joe. The felt is amazing - dense and soft. I did some research on the patent number on the sweat, and found it was issued in 1953.

    Homburg Nation

    Stetson St. Regis, olive color, 2 7/8” brim, 5 1/2” crown. The only flaw I can find is a faint silver dollar-sized stain on the brim that I think will come out. Felt is soft and pliable, and even though I’m not really a homburg guy, I think this one works for me.

    Seller made an offer, I countered, and BOOM! I have a St. Regis. More pics in the Homburg Nation thread.

    The Penney's Marathon

    Love it. I have an identical one, and it’s a favorite. 2 1/4, to me, is just outside of stingy.

    Dobbs 15. Cleaned up really nice! First pics are from seller and don’t show the deep cocoa brown color. Felt is velvety soft and the crease you see was easily formed. 2 3/8” brim, 5 1/4” open crown, 2” grosgrain ribbon. Great condition with no moth tracks and supple sweatband. Liner tip is...
