Stetson Whippet

Beautiful Adam, hatophile. You lost your beard!


Wore my Whippet yesterday. Sunny, but temps in the 20's.



At the annual Pork Roast & Sauerkraut Dinner of the Germanic American Institute in St. Paul.



In the Rathskeller.

Thanks, del. I think one of the dogs got it. I woke up Sat. morning and it was gone.
By the way, great Whippet. :eusa_clap

Cool Adam ribbon and an elegant Whippet to start the week... tip o' the hat to you gents.

 

[delectans]

Thanks, hato and Alan, you are most kind. Looking forward to another great week of hats from everyone! :yo:

Oh, and hato, your dog wouldn't happen to be a Bearded Collie per chance, would it? lol

 

[hatophile]

Well, we actually did have one of those in the past. Now a Border Collie, Shepard mix, Retriever mix, Cairn Terrier, Coon hound, and Sheltie. The terrier is jokester enough to steal my facial hair.

Thats a great looking Adam, hatophile! I especially love the ribbon. Great Looking hat.:eusa_clap

 

[hatophile]

Thanks, Josh. I think the ribbon really spiffs up the hat!

today-- wearing an antique shop find from a few years ago. a small, brown, derby-ish thing with a completely disintegrated sweatband. There's something about this little guy that I really like though, and would consider getting it refurbished professionally in the not so distant future. I'm also pretty sure it's wool.

That hat has an alpine look, and reminds me of photos or drawings or Sarah Bernhardt in the original "fedora" from the 1880s. Ground zero of fedora hats.

Very nice, Jeff, I like the binding and ribbon color.

Bowlerman's hat reminds me of the "beehive" hats offered by Clearwater Hats.

Here I am in my 50's Open Road outside the Red Agave resort in Oak Creek, Az. This view is literally from the front door of our room. Did some mountain biking thru this area the day prior with a few friends. This place is literally breathtaking. If you've never been to Sedona, you should take the time to visit.

I'll definitely have to look that up!
Neo-- It's slightly beehived, too, but I think that's because it has shrunk a bit over time. The side view taper is rather pronounced, while the head on taper is pretty subtle.
--and thanks Al! There's something kind of special about it for me. Can't exactly put my finger on it.

The hat looks great on you Scooter, as does the red rock background. I had the chance to drive up that way a couple of years ago... amazing scenery.

All you would have to do make it look like those turn of the century fedora/alpine/homburgs (used interchangeably in advertisements and such) would be to put a center dent in it.

Enter the Big Bad Voodoo Hat

I've been trying to make this not-vintage wide brim hat into something I'll wear more. The thin red ribbon look didn't do the trick, so I put on a wide yellow ribbon and sewed on a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy keychain pendant. Hence, the Big Bad Voodoo Hat!

It's totally gaudier than any other hat I own, but I like it. It suits the style of the namesake band (my favorite!) and goes great with a yellow/gold tie.

It was interesting working on this... I did most of the work at a table in a public library, drawing all sorts of stares, and I had to wear it before I got the "pin" fully sewn on, simply tucking the needle behind the band and hoping not to stab myself.:scared:

Well, for what it's worth, I like the look of the hat, and I know and like the band!

Another bodacious hat here this week. You've got the stones to wear that one. Go daddy!
