What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[T Jones]

Good evening Gents! All you guys are looking great!

Alan, nice Stetson. I don't care much for Black hats but that one's an exception. A real gem my friend.

hatsRme, love the thin ribbon Vita Felt! Nice! Really nice!

dh66, the stingy definitely suits you my friend.

MoK, love the Knox! But I have to say you scored BIG with the Fed IV though. I was really impressed with how well you looked wearing it.

On this cool evening from Central Ohio and once again, I'm wearing my cheap DP officially licensed wool Indy,(that didn't look like an Indy hat), which I reshaped. (I also took off the ribbon that was on it and replaced with a thin ribbon).I can't help it guys. I have real nice fur felts I can wear but for some reason I like this cheap woolie!...

TJones that hat has "the look" my friend. It works well on you, and being a wool, you can rough it up a little without worrying about ruining a substantial investment

Great showings, all!
HatsRme, love the VitaFelt, and the Pendleton shirt has got me covetous.
SBG, Bowlerman, Orangegrad, Dgh, Casechopper, MoK - I really can't believe you own so many gorgeous tops. Surely you're fighting for storage with your significant others?!

Wearing my new treasure once more before sending it off to Johnny C for a sweatband - a Class of 1919 navy blue newsboy. I donned the appropriate specs for the occasion - 1905 gutta-percha frames.

Outstanding. There's just something about having a piece of the past. I think it transcends all cultures and is a deep rooted thing that sets human beings apart.

Today- Sterkowski`s "Corleone" fedora. I can post some pics, if You want of course.

 

[DJH]

It is enjoyable wearing some old favorites now the weather is a little cooler.

This morning, Stetson Bluegrass Whippet.

 

[RBH]

Good choice David!

 

[dh66]

Of course. Is this Sterkowski the hat maker in Poland? Been on my radar lately, if so, and would like to see the goods in action.

TJones - is the wool much heavier/hotter than a typical fur felt hat?

Wearing my Australia market Akubra Fedora - sold as the Sydney (without wind trolley) here in the States.

Good morning Gents! Starting off with a nice little collection this morning!

Orangegrad, that particular wool felt doesn't seem as heavy as a fur felt. But it does seem to be a bit warmer though...That's the Sydney you're wearing? I've been giving that hat some serious consideration. How's the felt on that? Does it hold its shape pretty well after it's bashed? Is there any taper to the crown? I like that hat.

dh66, thanks my friend. I appreciate the positive comment on my DP woolie.

Suffsmith, love the Newsboy! Very nice cap indeed! 1919 was the year that Jack Dempsey took the Heavyweight title from champion Big Jess Willard in the most brutal four rounds in Heavyweight Boxing history. My wife's Great-Grandmother was Jack Dempsey's Aunt who was either a sister to Devil Anse Hatfield himself or to one of the Hatfield boys who was a participant in the Hatfield / McCoy feud.

DJH, Very nice Whippet! I love those hats!

For me on this very chilly morning from Central Ohio I'm wearing my City Sport Donegal Wool Newsboy...

 

[hatsRme]

SUPER cap, TJones! Yesterday's thin ribbon was also spectacular! The re-shaping really works for you, man.

Thanks my friend. I appreciate that, as well as your fine collection of nice hats.

 

[Orangegrad]

TJones - that is one fine cap.

The Sydney/Fedora is a really nice lid. It has less taper than most modern fedoras. A full 2.5 inch brim. This particular one holds its shape extremely well. The fur is not as soft as my 50s Stetsons or modern Borsos. it's extremely comfortable.

The sweat seems to be an upgrade from the standard Imperial sweat.

I wasn't all that fond of the colors that are sold in the US as the Sydney, and happened to find an un-used Australia Market Fedora on ebay for around $50, so that's what I have. I like purchasing from Trudi at the Hattery in Katoomba. I tend to prefer the Australia market Akurbas more than what David Morgan brings over.

Thanks for the comments on my last few posts. I've been pretty busy and haven't been able to thank each person who commented individually but I do read what you write and appreciate it.

LOVE the Max, Sam! Super look for you today, my friend.

Here's mine...

 

[Monte]

hatsRme, Nice alliteration, great lid!

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Suffsmith; Oh yea!

Andy; Looking sharp sir. Felt weather is upon your backyard.

Dh66; Thanks for the comments. I do like how your hats are apropriate to your weather, even inside weather.

David; The Whippet is choice! Something about the lines and dimensions of that hat always cacth your eye and the color shapers the eye. Love the hat.

TJ; You can certainly wear a variety of lids. Nice cap on a chilly morning.

Sam; Nice jacket and hat combo this morning.

Hatsrme; Mallory time on the coast this morning. Always looking classy. Hey, no Pendleton today. Your recent shirt was handsome. I too have some vintage Pendletons shirts that happen to have one owner.


Heading out in the rainy afternoon and evening in my VS Wanderer. The light weight silverbelly felt and removable liner will be tested as the temps change from the upper 50'F to forecast 83'F.

Misty rain here I come, Eric -

 

[hatsRme]

Thanks for the kind comments!

Monte, my wife says I am functionally alliterate. I think that's what she said...

 

[Ghost Rider]

There's some seriously nice hats today chaps. Those light colours and light weights wouldn't match the weather here today though
