What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Lefty]

It's my one and only panama, a PB blocked by Art.

 

[Jauntyone]

Looks great with that suit, Jaunty.

Thanks, hatophile!

 

[delectans]

A splendid looking Panama, Lefty! I thought it appeared to be a fine Montecristi, but wasn't completely certain as it looks like it could also be a very nice, lightweight felt fedora. Great block by Art, as usual.

Flew in from Bozeman, MT in my All-American.

This morning we left Bozeman, MT in 60' weather (overcast w/wind) and flew buffeted by rising heat waves to the Twin Cities.

I wore my Lee All American, grey fedora. Required head phones are now behind the head over the ear fancy, dancy things. They are way more comfortable than the older big head phones that you use to communicate to the ground. The Lee allowed me to cover my head, shade my eyes and be very comfortable. Much more comfortable than the "Rocking R Bar" ball cap that I have used for years on this commute.

The Lee model, All American, is not a premium model by this oldy company. The lighter weight felt, pliable brim, and easy wear characteristics make it a very easy wear. The liner is clean, the leather band is wider than my other All Americans and very comfortable. The Lee models in my size vary in size/fit, up to 1/2 inch. This one fits excellent. The hat now needs some steam as the rain this morning "lumped up" the body. No worries mate, just a temp. situation.

The gray color has a minty green hint to it. The grey can look cool or even coordinate with warmer toned attire easily. Versatile. It is changing my opinion about wearing grey. My hair, what small amount is left, is grey, so I need to get good with grey!



Thanks for allowing me to share my All-American.

Alan, the felt and ribbon on your new Mallory go together really well.

Alan,
I LIKE that Mallory ALOT ! Same color edge binding w/ contrast hat band ribbon is one of my fave looks and that mid width ribbon actually gives the crown MORE visual hieght than a thin ribbon would Nice one !

That is a wonderful looking hat! Just a bit OT, but what are you flying? Any chance of a hat pic that includes the plane?

Far out of currency myself, I need a Biennial (and a good bit of review and dual prior to that I suspect). Need to get back in the air! And my David Clarks certainly won't accommodate a Fedora, I think I'll be stuck with ball caps in the cockpit for now, but what you're using sounds very cool.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

T Rick; Thanks for taking a look sir.

My brother and I have a 2000 Beechcraft 58 Baron(white/blue trim). It is reliable, loaded with avionics, great flying characteristics, and great range. I will have to remember to take a hat pic when before inspection. The custom earpieces, and boom bar really rock compared to the "head pieces" that have sqeezed my head for years.

A wonderful example of a great hat by Lee, Eric! Thank you for the excellent review.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Thanks Al. I have taken a lesson from you and a couple other regulars on the forum and have been trying to include more detail and impressions. If you see anything that informed members would enjoy, yell back.

Stay as cool and comfortable as possible in the heat, Eric -

 

[Short Balding Guy]

DJH, I do like that cool lid on your noggin! The natural color, general size, shape really are complimented with the styling color ribbon. Daring color and you make it work. Congrats, I like your style in felt and panama.

[DJH]

Hey Eric, thanks for the nice observations. I'm still new to wearing hats and exploring styles that I enjoy is a big part of the fun!

Going to be nice and warm in NH today: good day to wear this new hat

Dobbs that Falcon Park Hattery re-blocked, replaced the ribbon, and added the edge binding.
