What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[DJH]

Yes indeed, just fantastic hats all weekend.

Snowing here today, wore my black Biltmore OR style to stroll over to Dunkin's

 

[RBH]

Very good David! I have been wearing my black Biltmore a bit.
Did you leave the pin on yours?

 

[DJH]

Mine didn't come with a pin, Rusty.

I might put a DC3 Strat pin on it at some point. I also tried a Lockheed Constellation pin that I have but it's a little big for the thin ribbon.

I do like the hat, quite well made for a modern production one. Shame the plant closed.

Knox for me today, stay warm Dave!

 

[Orangegrad]

David - I have a black Alessandria. Must admit that I am a fan of black hats.

Perry - is that an underwelt on the Knox?

 

[hatophile]

Hi Andy,
Knox is overwelt actually.

Charcoal grey Knox Madison Avenue today. No pic, unfortunately, but I could probably substitute a pic of a nearly drowned rat. Rain was coming down in sheets this morning between the parking lot and the building. I arrived in the office a bit damp, but my head remained dry and I was able to carry my laptop bag and another bundle to the building without juggling an umbrella.
The hat and my overcoat are slowly drying, and I'm hoping that they won't get drenched again at quitting time tonight.

Wearing my Australia market Akubra Squatter in Featherweight felt.

This is one very large hat, and though the felt may be featherweight by Akubra standards, it would still take quite a beating.

I'm told the newer models of this hat now have a liner.

Good frosty morning Gents! Nice start to the day! You guys are sporting a very nice collection this a.m.!
Richard, The Campdraft looks really sharp! Nice!
g.durand, As usual, you're sporting another nice one! The VS Dove is awesome!
Garrett, Very nice Borso!
gqmajic, The VS Silver Mist is looking sharp!
Eric, Another fine VS! I love the look of that Wanderer! Really nice!
DJH, Unlike me, some people can wear Black hats, and you sport the Biltmore rather well!
hatophile, Nice Knox and jacket combo!
Andy, Now that's more like it! I like the color of your Squatter far better than the Black one I had!
casechopper, Love the Carmack / Top Coat combo!

Today on this cold morning from Central Ohio I'm bundling up and throwing on my wool City Sport Newsboy cap!

T Jones - this Squatter deserves a lot more head time than it receives. I think it may be hat #2 that accompanies me to New Mexico, along with the VS Anasazi.

I think you'd like this hat. Most models now come with a liner, which definitely changes the hat - not that you can't remove the liner. They just happened to have one sans liner when I ordered, and this is the one I chose, as it's closer to the original model. I understand this hat's been in the Akubra lineup for quite a while.

 

[hatophile]

Andy, I like the Squatter, very nice.
Sharp Carmack Sam, I love the color.
Great combo TJ, and the antique radio adds flair. My wife and I are antique lovers. (I guess you could take that 2 ways).

 

[Chepstow]

Rusty, Ghost, Richard and G, thank you all for the kind words about the Dunn! I appreciate them all!

Matt, nice Orvis, looks good on!

Joao, a good choice your Beaver Brand. Sharp dressed!

Richard, great look with the gorgeous CD and nice looking vest, thanks again for the splendid Dunn!

g-durand, splendid hat and Coat, both fits you perfect!

Garret, that is a sharp long hairy Borsalino!

qmagic, also a VS masterpiece. Looks very good!

Eric, that is Fawcett day me seems, very nice photo, PS. I like the beard!

Sam, nobody else that I know, wearing that beret better as you!

David, Biltmore and snow a sharp combination!

Perry, you are well dressed my friend both, Hat and Jacket looks great!

Andy, great. Your Akubra looks at home on you!

TJ, you are a born and natural hat and Cap wearer!

 

[ManofKent]

David - looks like you've got sugar from the donuts on the brim Nice OR.

Perry - lovely Knox

Andy - great looking hat, but you're reminding me I have squatter in a box that my wife won't let me open until the 25th

Sam - I'm always envious of that Carmack.

TJ - that cap really suits you.

Thanks for the comments on my weekend offerings. Fed IV today:

 

[hatophile]

Once again very well -dressed Richard. Must not be too awfully cold, still some green over there.

 

[Orangegrad]

Richard - I'll be interested to see if your Squatter is like mine, sans liner, or with liner. Either way, you're going to love it.

 

[bowlerman]

Excellent, one and all!
The Carmack Whiskey... well, you know. I've said it a hundred times. Nice to see it again, Sam.

Over the weekend, I got some good wear from this Brill's fifteen:

Pecan colored Knox today:

 

[hatophile]

Knice Knox too, Jeff.

 

[T Jones]

Andy, hatophile, Manfred, Richard, Thanks for the comments guys.
Richard, Fed IV's and caps suit you well my friend!
bowlerman, both the Knox and the Brill are nice! I love the looks of the Knox in particular! But I still think you should try a few more caps though. I hate using cliches, but you knocked it out of the park with the last cap you wore!

Later Knox Foxhound. A Salvation Army find from my teenage years. First vintage hat I ever purchased.

A day without a hat is like night.
