What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Mike, that porker is a bit of a change for you, but cool.
Gray Adam for Pearl Harbor Day.

Nice Adam, Perry.
I'm pretty sure this Tom 'n' Jerry was set up for brim up - which I will experiment with - but I kind of like it down also. It will take some getting used to as I am still not comfortable in a homburg or a porkpie. The felt on it is coming close to some of my finest quality felts that I own.

Cervo. Decided to take it to out and test the vent holes I made. It isn't warm in NY but there's wind!

If you want to know why the vents aren't centered, go here:http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?28145-Post-New-Hats-Here!/page1641

Nice job on the vents, Ale!

Douglas and Hatto: those Borsos are awesome. Even in blurry photos, the velour looks cool.
Eric-- oh, that VS-- tried and true! never gets old, but that Lee Cameo is awfully impressive too!

Giving the Falcon Park a test drive in colder weather.

I just emailed Parker to get my custom hat's ball rolling and after seeing this hat I know I am in good hands. That is stunning my friend.

My Whippet-esque Royal Stetson, an eBay win of a month or so back:

It's a 2.5" brim, bound as you see. I've taken out the liner to serve as a warm-weather hat and bashed it from its center dent style into a teardrop or diamond-with-dome, as I call it. It's rapidly become my go-to hat.

Too windy for the Buckaroos, so out come the Hat People cap. All these awesome hats lately has got that damn hat bug biting me again lol.

We have missed your postings on the forum Neo. That cap fits you well! I see more in your future.

The other Stetson......

This morning outside in my minty Stetson. The other Stetson fellow. The hat, while can appear to be very plain, to my eye has some classic lines. A simple thinner ribbon, 2 3/4 brim, taller crown with litle to no taper and the marvelous color is a classic look that I appreciate wearing. Simple center dent and squeezed in side dents and the hat is ready to go. Unadorned, but yet remains a fav go to hat for me.


Liner/leather:
Again, simplisity at it's best. The simple liner logo and more simple leather and rear bow treatment just plain work. Good choices, IMO, for this hat by the designers. I suspect it was inexpensive in the hat world at its respective day. This hat is truly minty - no wear marks at all, no stains, just some small age spots.

Thanks for taking a look. Tipping my other Stetson in your diection, Eric -

I Agree, that is a classy hat.

Raining like a mad man here so I broke out the Grey Squatter

 

[hatophile]

Nothing plain about that Stetson at all, Eric.

That's a good looking semi-Whippet, Benz.

The cap is very sharp on you, Alex! (Neo)

Hat and BR thanks.

Hatophile, it was an eBay win from a seller we've seen on there a lot. He posts pics that almost look like paintings, and writes a up a complete blurb, almost an advertising job in itself, about each hat. This RS he trumpeted as akin to the kind of hat Howard Hughes might have worn when he was flying, or like the model sported by Leonardo DiCaprio in the HH biopic a few years ago.

To me it seems more like the fedora worn by Gary Cooper in "For Whom the Bell Tolls," but that's just me.

Way to go! You won't be disappointed. You nailed it-- this is bone with a dark burgundy ribbon. I wanted his "Julep" style with a taller crown and wider brim. My only custom fedora to date, but won't be my last.

Today I am wearing my Akubra Adventurer due to the rain and falling temps.
