What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[John Galt]

A western today, for the county fair. New custom 7x, from The Hat Store in Houston TX, with a brand new pencil-roll John-crease that I am calling "California Peaks" in honor of the two great white broken top mountains that shadow me here in far Northern California. It was a pretty stiff taco in its' prior incarnation.

My holiday weekend has been grand, so far. Saturday was sunny and bright; spent the first part of the day at church and then my household had a nice quiet nap for an hour or so. Played outside with the kids and then had a nice dinner in. Been swooping my hats, lately (Thanks, David! ). Wore my Saks again that day (it was bright and sunny)...

Then on Sunday I spent some time on house needs, back and forth to The Home Depot. We've been renovating our master bathroom due to repairs and my closet, so I've been mudding and sanding and prepping the walls for the painters. I'm so excited that they're almost done!!! Sunday evening was memorable. Nothing fancy, but we went out for dinner a local hot wing joint ($3 Cafe, great wings, wraps, and salads), and then to downtown Historic Marietta for a stroll around the town. However, I left my phone at home and my wife's camera had low batteries, so no pics.

The scene was something out of an old movie with pleasantries about. There were a lot of people just hanging out and communing with each other, walking around square, taking pictures, walking dogs, and playing in the park. I saw 4 or 5 fedoras and straws there. It was everything you'd expect to see at the local small town Square. I left there feeling that my day was complete. Wore my new Barlesoni Panalite straw. And it was, indeed, lightweight! It was bright, so it's hard to see the other dent on the crown, but it's there...

I like the semi-flat brim on that Barlesoni, A'n'A. Kinda Hollywood, but not quite. Looks good.

Ecto, I can almost hear the reverb. Very sharp look.

SeaBass, you are too kind and you're right--Awesome is the right word for that Royal Stetson.
Manfred, thanx and hope your weekend was great.
A'n'A, I like the Saks and the proportions on the straw are nice.
David, thank you, sir.
G.Durand, nice backdrop for a sharp hat.
Jlee, drizzling here too: I think I can hear our garden growing now. I "washed" three hats lately and didn't even break a sweat.

Thanks, guys. It's growing on me. It offers up a little variety. After I cleaned it, it stayed just like that. Molds very well under steam.

Great Optimo, Jared.

J1 - that is a beautiful VS.

Worth & Worth Montecristi for me this morning

 

[RBH]

Good to see you J1, the thin ribbons start my day off good!!!
Looks great!

 

[Jauntyone]

Thanks DJH and RBH!

 

[hatophile]

Wandered around Manilva, Spain today on foot, checking out the ancient streets. The wine they cultivate on the hillsides is sold locally only, in bulk. I don't normally go for white wines, but this one tasted superb. Maybe it was just the sunshine and sea breeze, but I don't think so.

Just AMAZING. Off to the northern hills for a few days WITHOUT INTERNET. I made it!! Now to try to catch up, although maybe more appropriate in the Fedoras Afield thread, since I haven't even caught up to today...
Yesterday, after a Memorial Day weekend of cold, SNOW, (yes, several inches around the area, up to 18" in upstate NY) rain, and mind-blowingly beautiful scenery as a result, I return unshaven mountain man.
Note, SBG (Eric) new Pendleton, purchased from the winter clearance rack in time for the re-emergence of winter! PERFECT match for this mid fifties Royal Stetson of unusual color, and ready for NEXT year.

What enviable environs, gents... great photos!

Randall, I think that vista could make a merlot taste good.
