Introduction and my hats...
These are not all “new” hats, but I am new to posting here, so I will show them all off.
I have recently (last couple of years) really been “into” hats – spurred by the discovery of a couple of skin cancers on my forehead, and then as I wore one regularly I found that I just liked the way they looked, so I have been researching and acquiring lately.
First the felt hats:
A “Tucker” by Art Fawcett – I have had this one for a few months, but did not get to wear it enough and now it is back in its box waiting for cooler weather. Can’t wait for the Fall.
Beaver Brand “Heritage” Fedora. I really like this one – have had it for a couple of years.
A Borsalino Beaver Fedora. This one fits great, and feels good. Had it since the Fall of last year. Definitely a favorite.
A Christys’ Trilby (foldaway). This is my oldest hat – probably 13 years old or so. It sat in my closet for awhile, worn occasionally, but for the last two years, it has served as my travel hat.
A Christys’ Adventurer Fedora. This one is pretty new – it serves as my regular hat for days when it is likely to rain. It has survived several soakings – still going strong. Does not seem to have quite the quality of the older Christys’ Trilby (the leather sweatband in particular is rather low grade), but it is a pretty nice hat just the same.
Straw hats - next post
