What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Shohei]

J1, Mike, David, Orangegrad, Perry, great Hats today, everyone.

+1

And to jump on the wagon, Andy that OR looks perfect, like it was made for you. I was not sure on the size for myself either but a few times around the block and its like being home!

Day 2 in the Black (too bad that wasnt always the case financially ) for me.

+++, Andy. Very sharp, very versatile! I hope you can feel comfortable in it!

Fed IV Deluxe today. I'm in the queue to have a custom VS chocolate brown Indy-style hat made. I'm so torn because this Fed IV looks so good but I can only imagine that what Art would create would be superior in every way. Plus it would fit! What do you guys think? Does anyone here have a chocolate brown VS that you could post pics of?

 

[EggHead]

Al, great photos and hats! I envy the fact you you have a personal photographer. In my family it's me.

Orange,

Keep wearing that hat. The size will "grow" on you, trust me. I now find a short crown brim hat looks abnormal on me, and I ain't a very big guy either. Plus although the OR has a western appearance, I think it goes anywhere, it's not like you're wearing a huge sombrero in downtown Cleveland. I think it looks great, especially with the beard.

By the way, I'm just south of you in the Canton/Akron area. I wear my ORs a lot!

Since the OR arrived a few weeks ago, other than a cap when it's really windy, this is the only fedora I've worn. I'm wearing it everywhere, because it can transition from very informal to formal quite easily. The 3X beaver fur is very light-weight - similar to the weight of my Akubra Stylemaster. If this were a heavy hat, it might be uncomfortable. As it is, it's the most comfortable fedora I own, at present.

Do you find many guys wearing fedoras in Akron/Canton? Here it's mostly baseball caps, a few wool fedoras (typically Outback style), flat caps but rarely newsboys. We have a hat store in town, Mike the Hatter, so I thought there might be more fedoras worn. But no. I'm always the only guy on the train wearing a fur fedora.

I do see some fedoras, but few and far between. Like you, mostly ball caps, although an occasional cowboy hat, there are a lot of farms and horse stables down this way. My wife and I visit Boston frequently and even for a large city I don't see that many fedoras out there. I don't care, I keep wearing mine anyway, and occasionally get nice comments.

+1 It's about the same down here in Orlando. I like your lid today BTW Perry. I wish I could see it a little better

I grew up South of Boston (next town over from where the Patriots play). If I could live anywhere I want, it would be on the Cape.

This is a great photo.
The OR looks super on you!!!

Thank you, sir. If only I could be out West, in CO or NM again, wearing the combo!

No pics yet, but I'm wearing my new-to-me charcoal gray Borsalino "Savoy" with a 2 3/8" brim. It looks rather like the hat Mattface wears in his avatar, except dark gray instead of dark brown. Now that I have a range of hats, I'm thinking I may sport the ORs mostly on weekends, the dressier hats I'll wear to my office.

Thanks, Mike. Better now?

OG, we spend most of our time on the North Shore (Cape Ann), which is more quiant and less hectic than Cape Cod.

I've spent many a vacation in Rockport. Wouldn't mind living there either.

How do you take such amazing photographs of food !? I can almost taste it, but alas, I can't!

Yeah, always making me hungry!

Well, if you ever see a guy wearing a fedora in Rockport, it's probably me!

+1. That's a real winner, Perry!

Thanks, guys.

On the lining it says "hats of character", maybe it should say, "hats for a character".

 

[Shohei]

Jbucklin, That is technically you asking, no - begging me to help you out by securing myself chocolate brown VS, right?! Do you think that would fly @ home, more importantly you must back me up on this latter

Nice and clear Hato, beauty.

Wearing a single-bid, $10 vintage Donegal tweed newsboy cap from eBay. Mislabeled as 1960s; my guesstimate is 1930s at the latest. http://www.ebay.com/itm/250966780599
