Yep that’s it - Les looks like he’s completely owning the look. Anybody who’s not familiar with him should check him out on youtube. He’s known for wearing some cool hats. He often wears a bowler on stage. He’s a stellar bass player too. Crazy good.
Now what you said about Crocs and not...
I really like the pith helmet. I understand that there’s nothing better for beating the heat. I recently saw a video of Les Claypool of Primus wearing what I think is the British version (comes to a point in front and back) in concert and thought to myself that takes a lot of confidence to...
I have the Hemp Strat and a Milan Latte if that helps. There’s a 1/2” difference in brim but otherwise I think they’re similar enough to compare materials.
I love both but I think the hemp feels more airy and limber in general than the Milan. The hemp weave feels very resilient and durable...
Yes! Isn’t that thing awesome? I just got one in Sand recently and I can’t stop wearing it. Seriously I’m having to force myself to wear my other hats so they won’t be jealous. That’s a cool color and you wear it well. Congrats on a cool hat!
I have been wearing brimmed hats for the past decade or so for sun protection and I’ve discovered I like them as an umbrella alternative as well. I never really thought about what others would think - I bought my first hat and started wearing it. I liked it and bought another. I do usually...
Seriously, sometimes people say the strangest things when they see a man wearing something on his head that’s not a ball cap. I think they may feel the need to say something complimentary or cute, just trying to be nice - but it comes out awkward as can be. Sometimes I can’t help laughing.
I drove the short trip up the mountain to Asheville today with my Hemp Stratoliner. There’s just something about these Stetson straws that go well with dark roast coffee.
As I said before I'm still a newbie so somebody else may correct me, but with Fedora Lounge it appears that most hat questions are answered by posting it as a reply in this thread: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/ask-a-question-get-an-answer.41576/page-1304#post-2930304
Both of those look fantastic. That‘s a stunning color for a Stratoliner and it looks great on you. One thing I’m loving about my straw Stratoliner is that it‘s equally happy with a dressy shirt or a T-shirt. Way more versatile than I would have imagined. By the way you should both be paid by...
Thanks! And what you said about confidence is the absolute truth. My wife says that the reason I can pull off wearing bowlers (my cool weather hat preference) and fedoras like this is my confidence level. I never had thought about it before but I think that’s correct.
Nolagurl - I’m a forum newbie but I can see already that there’s a lot of knowledge here.
@belfastboy thanks for sharing that advice on Google searching with Fedora Lounge in the keywords. I’ll remember that too.
I‘m wearing my new Hemp Stratoliner today with a Hawaiian style shirt. Here I am with it at the local coffee roasters. One thing I’ve found is that this hat gets lots of attention and compliments from random people. I’m good with that.
