What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Thank you. Almost all the photos I’ve posted here over the years are taken with an iPhone. The recent ones from our travels to Santa Barbara are shot with the iPhone 11pro. They are tweaked a little in the photos app and posted directly from the phone. I have a camera with me, but the phone is... -

Great write-up and pictures. That Hat Corporation of America mfg. label would suggest your riding derby is from the 1940s. -

Very kind gents... and appreciated, though my hats are definitely aging slower. At least the new iPhone cameras have better optical resolution and don't have to rely on software to sharpen the photo and accentuate every blemish on my face. Much more forgiving portraits. ;^) -
