What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[bowlerman]

Manfred, just stunning. The parabuntal is a good companion for you!


Resistol silver belly 3X, if my wife lets me out of the house in it.

Justin--the 1920s Stetson is a nice one. Hope you got some sleep in the heat. We don't have AC either and depend on the natural cooling from the Pacific breezes, but when the wind reverses direction and starts blowing the heat out of the central valley, we suffer, too.

Andy--a good hat for the weather you're having. Here in CA we're not worried about rain right now since the climate is similar to the Mediterranean region (wet winter, dry summer), but there is concern about what the low lying areas next to the coast would be like with a rise in sea level.

Joao--thanks for another look at the Resistol.

Manfred--I think I may be enjoying your vacation almost as much as you are. You chose the right hat for it.

Jeff--almost missed you there. You gotta just wear it, man!!

Stetson Whippet in the cool morning.

 

[Geldoc]

That is a gorgeous Whippet!

 

[Neophyte]

G, you've had some rockin' hats the past couple of days. That one's a beaut!

 

[g.durand]

Thanks, guys. I don't know if they made many Whippets with those colors.

 

[Chepstow]

BR, Ed, Blackthorn, Che, Jeff and Mike, my sincerest thanks on all, it's me a pleasure, to take you with me on my travel!

 

[hatophile]

I've not seen a Whippet like that G, very nice!

 

[B.J. Hedberg]

Thanks for the comments from the other day. Wearing my newly arrived Beaver Brand western. Will be starting the fedora conversion process tonight.

 

[hatophile]

Whoa pardner, I like the Western. If you put on a cowboy shirt, you'd look like a 20's cowboy with the hat and mustache!

 

[Neophyte]

Yeah, that western does look good on you.

I sometimes wonder what may have been done to a vintage hat, especially one in such high demand as a Whippet. Not hard to change a liner on another model for example to make it look like what you want it to look like. But everything looks original on this one, and it was practically new when I got it. Originally sold in the Los Angeles area, it may have been from a run Stetson did for the Southern California market. I can picture a guy in the 1950s in a linen suit and wearing this hat while dropping a few dollars on the ponies at Santa Anita...

Thanks gents. I have to admit I rather like the brim. Can’t stand a pointy, tapered crown though. First thing I’ll do is re-block the crown, and then we’ll see what she looks like. Might have to get a nice custom western next year though now for sure.

Morning paper informed me that today is National Day of the Cowboy, so I figured it'd be a good day for my Stetson 100.

Man, I'm lovin' the Western Hats here today guys! Y'all look great!
Love the Panama Chepstowe! The Banjo Peterson's a real nice looking hat orangegrad. I love that style! g.durand, now that's what I call a classic Stetson Fedora, Awesome lid!

I'm goin' Hawaiian today and sporting my Bogart Panama by Cappas...

 

[Ordinary Guy]

You Sir have a head made for hats and you wear them well....

 

[Rogera]

Happy Saturday everyone! Beautiful round of lids to day!
My granddaughter had her first birthday today so we threw her a party at a park. Went with my Dobbs again for some shade. We are having some super bright days around here as evidenced by the baby's expression. I keep trying to get her to wear a hat but it always ends up on the ground!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo It looks so nice!!!

Seems your weather in Cental Ohio was better than mine, TJ. I've worn my Panama once so far. Strangest weather for summer I can remember. Good looking Panama.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Joao, you look so serious?

I was thinking if the shot was going to be too dark and had to take another with another light.

Joao--thanks for another look at the Resistol.

In the Afternoon I changed to the other Black Gold but I forgot to take a picture...

 

[T Jones]

Hawaiian & Panama

Thanks my friend. I appreciate the compliment. My wife agrees that my head makes a pretty good hat rack, but I don't think she meant it in the same context you did.
