What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[zetwal]

There's an episode where George's parents decide that they're going to spend all their money, blowing George's inheritance. When announcing the decision to George, George's father opens his coat, revealing a new suit, pulls the lapels outward and says (in his yelling voice), "It's a Pierre Cardin". It's not funny as written, but I liked it in the show.

No wonder I missed the reference. I've never seen the show! I do enjoy Curb.

P. & C. Habig Camber

I thought I was the only one who's completely lost on Seinfeld references.

You are correct.

Chapeau Laudinat

Sold in France but Importe d'Italie. A near Homburg as the finish of the curve is a simple overwelt. Backbow too. The Felt is actually a fine wool or wool-blend but thin and light--about the weight of a typical Borsalino Alessandria or Vita-Felt and shapes and holds better than most 100% Fur Felts.

Today -- same jacket, different lid.

North Valley Field & Stream (goes to town )...

zetwal - it's pretty much the same show as Curb, with fewer sexual references and f-bombs. I love both.

Very nice hats, JtL and rlk. :eusa_clap

Today, I'm in my Borsalino Savoy and my wife is in her new beater Emerson.

 

[handlebar bart]

Lefty, great pictures of both of you. You two wear them well.

Jimmy, diggin' that hat.

 

[DanielJones]

Those are some great looking lids today gang! Well done! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Here is my offering for the day. My black Dobbs made for the Rogers Peet Company. This is one I won on ebay a few yeas back from someone here, I believe it was Mark Chevalier. So he knows it is still in fantastic shape and is ready to come out for the fall season. Today was cool enough for a test run.

Cheers!

JtL, I love the NVFS. Great looking hat ...

Great Savoy Lefty, I', digin' on it.:eusa_clap By the way, what is the jacket? I like the cut of that as well.

Cheers!

Thanks.
The jacket is vintage Banana Republic, from the safari style days.

You all have been wearing some really fantastic looking hats since I last stopped by. I’d probably look daffy in a bowler, but I just think I might have to pick one up and give it a try now.

Today – or more appropriately yesterday at this point – was cool and wet, so out came the Stetson Ashland.

It looks interestingly like a jacket I picked up at a Gap outlet a few years ago for a couple of dollars. I almost think they recycled the pattern

Is Banana Republic part of Gap and the other mall store, can't think this early, they sell the T-shirts with the flag, khacki pants, etc.?

Old Navy!...Now I remember. My daughter worked there and there were several store brands where she could get her employee discount. I found a Life Magazine circa 1963 when cleaning out my mom's stuff after she passed. What was interesting, Lipton Tea, or any other food or clothing brand advertised, was just that, not owned by any other company or comglomerate.

Thanks, zetwal -- the finish on the North Valley by Rodney Allison is the closest thing I have ever experienced to the finish on a Stetson 7X Clear Beaver (in a non-vintage hat). Just a beautiful feel to that felt.

And thanks, Bart and Lefty, as well!

Cheers,
JtL

Yep, Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy are owned by the same company.

Good description of Old Navy, too. [But you left out the part about middle aged men who shop there in hopes of being mistook for a teeny bopper. ]

Beautiful lid -- love the way it works with the gray herringbone. :eusa_clap

Nice photos, Lefty.

Gotta say, I loved the old Banana Republic safari-style days. Loved the catalogues, loved the way the stores were done up, loved the look of the clothes. What the hell happened?

Wish I had snagged one of their fur felt safari hats back in the day...[huh]

Cheers,
JtL
