What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[alanfgag]

Thank you for the xoxo on the old x, pardners. The curled brim width and crown height on this is quite restrained for this period.

Ale, it is iPhone 5 - low light and a wee bit grainy.

Very nice. I just got my 5 so, I'll have to experiment.

You look happy in that forest, Monte!

You'll like it. The lens and software are significantly improved over the iPhone 4.

Perry, meant to show some :eusa_clap appreciation for your Tilden today... looks great. What era is this hat from? I notice Henry's still shows a Tilden brand on their website.

Just got this today. Knox Twenty. Looks to be a Gay Prince imitator.

Hey Monte, if you're ever down this way and need a board hit me up, we have a large quiver of boards. Yes, the water is frigid and after 4 hours I couldn't feel a thing but well worth it for the waves in the company of sea otters and dolphins.

Thanks Alan. I'm not that good at dating hats, my guess is 50's. It has the plastic protector over the logo in the liner. Optimo cleaned the hat and the originl sweat needed to be replaced. I found Tilden on the Henry the Hatter website also, but I don't think they're still in production.

Lauro, looking sharp with that Knox GP knockoff.

Thanks guys. Hey Teach, you might be surprised how versatile the black cherry is.

I'm going with this pecan Knox twenty custom edge today, and trying something new with my face (I don't do that very often...):

Like it...I've actually developed a liking to my stingies lately.

Alan, I'm wrong, looks like they are still making Tilden hats!

That is one crazy quilt of an overcast stitch. First time I have seen this. Anyone else have an example or an ad for this?

I'm curious as well. On the auction I thought maybe it was done by the owner but it looks too perfect for that. Here are a few more pics.

Greetings all. Wore this Bayerland running out and about today. Received a few compliments and the waitress at the diner stopped for a quick feel. "oh! Soft!" she purred as she lightly stroked the brim with her fingertips. I might never take this one off.

 

[hatophile]

Cool hat. If I got that reception from the ladies, I wouldn't take mine off either!

 

[Iain]

New to me vintage Dunn & Co Homburg

 

[Ordinary Guy]

Nice hats all around today,,,,

Hamlet nice green color, reminds me I need to give mine some head time....

A Borsalino Pesca for me today.

 

[splintercellsz]

Lauro, interesting stitching on that Knox!

Hamlet, I agree with Hatophile! Nice one!

Iain, NICE!!!!!!

Ordinary Guy, that Pesca looks like it was made for you!

A modification would have been my guess too but I don't remember seeing another GP variant from Knox. Perhaps this is why.

Is the felt a suede finish?

 

[splintercellsz]

Trying a front pinch on the Campbell 'burg today.

 

[lauro13]

The finish is suede like although there is no reference to its finish on the sweat. Here is some more info.
