What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Douglas, you have the most wonderful hats. They all look very good on you but you look really angry. I know it's probably just the photos and people on the board that know you, know I am wrong but it seems like the elephant in the room. "Douglas looks like he is about to kill someone. How could he look so mad when he has such nice hats?" lol But he does have nice hats.

I haven't thought of it as angry so much as serious. In a James Bond sort of way.

It would be nice to see a smile once, though.

Another fantastic hat, Douglas....You remain an inspiration for all Loungers!!!

 

[DOUGLAS]

I assure you Bebop, I am not so angry although buy the time I get around to taking a picture I am usually stressed out and come to mention it there are a few necks I wouldn't mind wringing. I will make an effort to smile more but I can't guarantee it will be pretty.

Jeff, This hat is vintage I am not sure of the age but it must be some where in the Forties or early Fifties.

That's a great hat, Douglas.

Put on my Adventurebilt this morning, you talk about a hat built to handle this fowl weather.
The Adventurebilt is topnotch!

p.s. treated with Scouts, I'm sure it did not need it but I love that it does not 'soak' up any rain.

I wondered if someone should treat fur felt. Interesting.

This is from the Scouts label

Scout Felt Hat Rain & Stain Protector is specifically for use on felt and beaver hats. Will keep your felt hat water-repellent and stain-resistant. This product can safely be used on all COLORFAST hats. If in doubt of colorfastness, check by spraying a hidden area. If color rubs off, it is not color fast and should not be treated.

Thanks, R! Great to know. I'm gonna do it with future purchases.

Beaver Brand Stingy ala Douglas. The first day in a long, LONG time that it's been cool enough to wear a felt.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Mr.Lucky,how do you find the felt on your hat? Is it responsive?

Love the glasses.

Love the glasses.

Soft, but a little stiff. Not as bad as, say, a contemporary Dobbs, but not nearly as soft as a vintage Borso and not nearly as nice as the hat you wear today.

Thanks. They're Ray Ban's. Oh, and here's my afternoon lid.

And, yes, I did have a moustache this morning.

I'm wearing my '30s ex. JW Marriott Borsalino. Gray felt, dark blue ribbon, finest cav-type edge I've ever seen.

 

[RBH]

Love that bash Douglas!

Great looking lids Mr Lucky and DMan!

 

[kpreed]

Hi all,
My Bailey Gangster as normal for me..

 

[DOUGLAS]

Love that hat Dman.

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Dinerman, that 30's Borsalino looks like it was manufactured last weeK! I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Well done. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Douglas, Re: The Mallory 10. On a scale of 1-10, it's a definite 10! The beard, a 6. But give it another week or two. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
