What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[DJH]

I'll wear a pork pie like that occasionally. It definitely works for you.

Yes, works really well!

Wearing my Optimo Dillinger today on the back of my head, which I know is considered blasphemy by some here, but oh well

Also; experimenting with facial hair for no-shave November.

The look works, and I love that hat! It's a tempting style for my next one...

I don't consider it anything of the sort ... :yo:

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen! I actually usually wear stingies back like this. With the Optimo, I've mostly been wearing it 'proper' but felt like mixing it up a little bit today.

I think it's considered blasphemy by some, probably because they don't feel that they can pull it off. You make it look good, jlee. I would probably scare you all away wearing a hat that far back. works for you, though.

Shhh! Don't let my kids hear that-- they think I'm just grumpy.

:eeek::eeek:lol

Portis, earlier this morning.

I do own a pork pie which I actually hardly wore because I thought it doesn't suit me. Thanks for this inspiration, I will try this right away!

I always seem to post late. A couple of months ago I found a badly misshapen, beat up 3X beaver stetson western hat for $4 at a local thrift shop. It was filthy, it had gobs of goo on it, it had a truly ghastly glued on hatband, yet is was sound...no mothing, no holes. So I picked it up in order to try out all the hat cleaning and fixing tips I have picked up from this absolutely terrific forum. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun doing it. The hat turned out great, except for some discolouration on the front brim that I just couldn't get rid of. Then, having no need for a western, I trimmed an inch off the brim, sewed on a new grosgrain hatband and re-creased the crown to a teardrop.

It has become my go-to hat if rain is threatening. It's almost impervious to rain...a great hat. Anyway, that's what I wore for my evening walk tonight. It did indeed rain...here I am, a little disgruntled, after my return.

That's a great hat and a better story, DNO. Nothing like a satisfying hat rescue. Nicely done!

Portis, earlier this morning.

David, that's a super shot. Gritty, serious, urban(e), and definitely well-hatted. If I were a mugger, I'd find a different alley.

Thanks Randall...like I said, I learned a lot in the process, including the fact that there this a great depth of knowledge in this forum.

Ha ha - thanks Randall

I'm in serious Portis mode at the moment.

This evening our local hockey team had a Movember event so all our team from the office went along. I was wearing my other Portis, the Super-Lux, here with my lovely wife Caren.

My Movember Mo might be in need of improvement, but the hat is very nice!

Sweet picture, David from New Hampshire... and that looks like a very nice hat renovation, David in Toronto.

cheers,
Alan

 

[DJH]

Thanks, Alan from New York!

Caren and I were antiquing today:

Feeling pithy

Nice Adam hommie

Sad old Stetson campaign hat with The Fray sweatband - they wanted $100 for this one!

Didn't buy any of these.

 

[Aureliano]

Fun times, David!

 

[DNO]

You know it might be just the fact that I've got a moustache, but I think you look pretty sharp with that mo, David (from NH). I did the Movember thing with a bunch of guys at work just before I retired...a lot of fun and we raised a good deal of money. I had to shave my normal moustache off initially (that raised quite a bit of dough itself!).

Are you thinking of keeping the 'stache after Movember is over?

Akubra Stylemaster. A friend wanted to test his new camera flashes with some noir shots and I was happy to oblige.

Aureliano - fun times indeed. Super mild day today as well, so very enjoyable.

David (from North of the Border) - thanks! Not sure on the Mo yet. My original plan was to shave on December 1st, but I seem to be getting used to it now. I've also had quite a few encouraging comments as well.

The Lark - well cool; I like it. Like your coat as well.

Oh, here's another quicky self portrait from today, to offset The Lark's classy photo
