What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Orangegrad]

Thanks Andy. It's definitely a real beauty. Beaver would have been nice but for a more authentic replica of the Raiders fedora rabbit was the right way to go. The original ROTLA was a Herbert Johnson dress weight rabbit felt fedora which, if I remember correctly, was HJ's "Poet". Herbert Johnson I believe made the rabbit felt fedoras for the first three Indy movies and Adventure Bilt made the Beaver felt Indy fedora for KOTCS. I know that Dave Garrison put a lot of time and effort into researching the Indy hats and I think he pretty much nails it better than most. That's a real nice one. It looks good on you.

hatophile, casechopper, thanks guys.

TJ - I went with the rabbit rather than beaver for two reasons: as you mentioned, authenticity. The second was price. I will say that the sweat on this hat is not up to VS standards. But it's quite satisfactory, and in looking at the films and still photos, this hat is about as close to a true Raiders as I've seen.

From what I've seen I think Garrison's is probably the most authentic looking of the ROTLA replica fedoras. He also came out recently with a replica of Alan Ladd's "China" fedora. That one looks really nice too. I'm going to have to try and save up a few $$$ to buy one.

Good chilly morning Gents! Still digging out from all the snow here in Central Ohio. One day off the forum and look at all the good stuff I missed!

Bert, heck of an $8 find on the Dobbs!
Dave, One of my all time favorites! Beautiful Whippet!
Miamibruno, Very nice! I like that Lee!
hatophile, Again, another of my all time favorites which is on my bucket list, (and I'm just shy of 60 years old so I don't have a lot of time to get one)! Beautiful Strat buddy!

Today on this cold and snowy morning it's BAU Thursday! Wearing my Black Resistol Stagecoach Western.The tall crown adds about 5 more inches to my 6'2 stature!...yeah, I know what everyone's thinking! As far as Westerns, Black is okay. I just don't like Black fedoras.

Terry, you look good today, buddy. You could be in movies with that hat!

It's always a treat to see a bowler worn... nicely done, Richard. Jeff, I understand that pose. It is the season for introspection and to be inside looking out.

Thank you all for the comments on Yesterday's Stetson. I'll be wearing it again today, so I won't bore you with another picture. You gentleman are all looking great as usual today.

Nice to see it again. Looks good on you

Thanks, Gentlemen!! When I first started wearing hats, I always felt weird wearing cowboy hats in Chicago....not anymore. I actually love wearing westerns in the city, especially in the summer!

I love to wear mine all year.

Switched to the 5” brim 4x beaver Stetson.
Missed my black hats
Because I’ve been working all day this is the possible shot for today.

Alan - wonderful Austrian number.

Joao - I think you're just trying to out-brim TJones Looks good

modern Borsalino Film in whiskey (despite the branding on the bow which offends some, it's a great hat).
