What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Short Balding Guy]

Enjoying the evening as the temps have dipped to 79'F. A straw fedora covers me this evening. It keeps the pesky insects at bay and frankly I have it on because it feels odd not to wear a hat. The cup of Caribou Costa Rica coffee, cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon is a treat as I sit with a view of the lake.

Our average evening low at this time of year is 62'F. Wishing for normal this evening, Eric -

Real nice conversion on the Emerson, AnA.

AnA; I will view the conversion details as the fedora looks good. Congrats on the outcome.

Killer brim on the conversion, A&A!

AnA - Whatever it looked like before, it looks great now!

AnA, a most excellent conversion. I will check out the pics in the corral shortly. I love that ribbon!

I can't thank you enough, gentlemen!! I'm so glad you like it!! I really enjoyed this project, and I'm very pleased with the results. As promised, I posted my conversion in the 'Corral...

ManoKent, the background of your pics steal my eyes from your Fine Hats, I am crazy over coastal towns yours is amazing

Thanks - Faversham is about a mile inland but it's built around a tidal creek (in the UK 'creek' is always a tidal inlet, rather than the US usage). It's not a bad little town.

Hey MoK, I just noticed your shadow! Are you peeing on the lawn?

The shadow is a walking stick, but when I downloaded the picture I thought the same


Eric - I love the ventilation work on that straw.

...I think I'm breaking the 10th Commandment here Gentleman!

Pffffff. Get in line.

Richard - I like the bash on the BGCD!

Wearing my early '50s 3X Beaver OR today. I am getting a new appreciation for this fedora. And I must admit that it is a superior hat to my modern Camp Drafts. I just wish it weren't so expensive to purchase these in good condition as is this one. I purchased this one at a great price a year or so ago. I doubt I'll find another at such a great price.

The bolo and cuff are by Navajo silversmith legend Tommy Singer. The turquoise and coral ring was crafted by Navajo artisan Betty Begay.

Fantastic hat, O-Grad! A great find. I'm sure as time goes by you will favor that one more and more. Just beautiful!

Orangegrad you'e killin me man.

After your post yesterday, I went all-out today. It doesn't come any better than a 3X OR and Tommy Singer.

 

[Chepstow]

Eric, a nice photo, looks harmonic with the coffee and the Straw!

Offcourse, very nice Miller, you wear him well!

Andy, great the 3x, nice decoration with the jewelry!

Nossir - it does not. Throw in a nice pair of peewees and an old car with the high desert wind in your face.....

Now that would be perfect.

Mossant Cap, from the 50s!

 

[dh66]

That is a nice cap sir. Plaid caps are catching my eye more and more lately - maybe one is in my close future

Mossant Cap, from the 50s!

Manfred,

I like the cap. Someday I'll find a cap that flatters me. But I couldn't help thinking that with the perspective of this photo, it almost looks like this cap might be used for electo-shock therapy.:eeek:

My go to choice for hot steamy days. Not too precious, and able to take a shvitz without getting blitzed.

Haha ... I was thinking of an alternative to the 50's mantra: "Duck & Cover". Some kind of an antenna, protecting against radiation ... the predecessor of the tinfoil-hat(?)

Andy, your (western dress) fedoras suit you so well. In my eyes, they complement your head a lot better. I would stick to the fedoras, if were you - but that's just my two cents. Others will probably disagree

I agree with you completely.
