What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatsRme]

I love how some of the older gents pull me aside and tell me about their old hats. It's great.

As I said, they KNOW from hats, so their perspectives are treasured in my book. (Although, nobody reads my book...)

About this Black Cherry - over the weekend I was watching TCM. The movie was Of Human Bondage - the 1934 adaptation with Leslie Howard and Bette Davis. Howard's fedora looked a dead ringer for my Black Cherry. He wore the brim down in the back, where I snap it up. Other than that, this fedora could have been in that movie. Art really does time-period accurate work.

Today i'm wearing my new-to-me 1950's Stetson Semi-Long Hair lightweight

 

[hatsRme]

Wow, Josh! Semi-long hair...? Is that like a "Short Boy's Regular?" Fabulous hat, perfectly "pugged!"

And, HOW on earth do you keep your desk so clean?!

 

[ManofKent]

Josh - it looks great on, and I second Charlie in asking about the magic desk. I think I've got a desk under the paper

The new Akubra Homburg today. I wasn't sure about the deep dip to the front of the brim, but it's grown on me:







Yes - I've got a ribbon stitch to sort out...

 

[hatophile]

Wearing my new Stetson Premiere Stratoliner that was delivered earlier today. The tulip tree behind me is blooming, so spring must almost be here!

 

[T Jones]

Good Afternoon Gents! I gotta make it quick so I apologize for not having the time to comment on all the nice hats
I've seen on here today...
gear-guy, Nothing better than a nice work hat!
rclark, So that's the new Stetson Premiere Strat. I like that. The color looks really nice on that one too. I'd love to buy one but I'm between sizes and I don't think the new Stetsons come in Long Ovals (?)

For me on this nice sunny afternoon from Central Ohio I did a little more tweaking on my 4X Resistol conversion. I lowered the crown from 5 inches to 4 5/8 at the pinch to make it more proportionate to my smiling face. I also took out some of the swoop on the brim....Sorry John Galt, I keep messing around with your fine work!

[Joao Encarnado]

Joao - looks like it's doing a good job of keeping the sun out of your eyes Looks good.

Thanks. It's something I expect from my wide brims
Your new Akubra looks good on you.

The Brownie looks good on ya Joao, nice band too.

Thanks. I only got this hat because of that hat band and ended liking it. My sister also likes it.

Sorry buddy. I can't help but smile! I'm just so darn happy! I really like the Resistol you posted a couple pages back. That is one nice hat. The felt on the Resistol Stagecoaches are nice, and durable. Their quality is substantial. I think you're going to be real pleased with the results.

Doing some work at the shop on Saturday, and brought my lovely woman with me. While I was out in the bays, she sent me this photo from the front desk with my work hat on.

They always look better in our hats than we do, don't they?

Thanks everyone for the kind compliments on yesterday's OR. It's probably my favorite vintage hat.

Josh - Very nice hat. And the desk, the desk has to go.

Rick - Is it the photo or is there a design on the ribbon? Lovely color on that one.

No, its just the photo. The light must have been reflecting off of the ribbon. Its just the standard ribbon.
