What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Joao Encarnado]

Joao, I really like the brim treatment on that winner!

Thank you!

Old Stetson 4X beaver

Still looking nice. No hatband?

Joao, killer hat that Stagecoach!

Thank you.

Today a Stagecoach John Galt fixed for me

Not yet. Need to ship it out to John Galt.
Thoughts on a hatband, Joao?

What is JG going to do with it?
A black hat can have too many choices. I think I would go for a 2" wide black/dark grey/burgundy ribbon (well if it were my hat I would go burgundy because I already have hats with black and dark grey ribbon), or a 1" two-tone ribbon (like the one on my brown Stetson), a horsehair hatband is also a possibility...
If it were my hat (again) I don't know if I would put a edge binding on the brim (if it were a two tone ribbon it would look great). I do like the brim shape of that hat.

Fellas, I just bought two yards of this great "blood wine" colored 2" ribbon. I have a plan for one yard, but the second yard is insurance. Unless I err in the execution, the second yard would be available. I can also still buy more, I think.

I want to put a steel silver grey ribbon on a black hat.

I will get the hat in the post to you soon, JG. Been swamped this week. I am interested in a steel silver grey on the black hat. What size is the ribbon?

Very good suggestions, thank you. I really like the Stagecoach JG fixed for you. Looks great.

Does it work on a black hat?

I want to put a steel silver grey ribbon on a black hat.

Is that color the same I have on my black Stagecoach? I love the contrast of this ribbon with the black hat.

Very good suggestions, thank you. I really like the Stagecoach JG fixed for you. Looks great.

Thank you! Those are options I've been thinking for a black hat.
JG did a neat job on this Stagecoach and he already have a Bailey that needs a bit more work than he did on this one.

I think, for that particular hat style, (that is, if you plan to keep it that style), I would keep the ribbon treatment simple. Something in the line of a thin ribbon, or a thin "ply" ribbon with tails laying on the brim of the hat. But whatever you decide, John G. will fix it up really nice. You'll definitely be happy with his work. He did a real nice job on my conversion. I love what he did with it. He's actually finishing up another one for me, and it's looking great! I can't wait to get it!

Harv--you are a fair rival to Joao with that 4X beaver. Great look.
Charlie--choice Milan from Art, I can see why it's your current go-to.
Manfred--thank you, and it's great to see you around here again.
Joao--another artistic photo of a grand hat. Very nice.
AnA---a crisp RS John B. there, sir.

I was contemplating my wife's photography efforts while sporting the 3X Open Road this afternoon.

Some great hats these last few days.

VS/Optimo Dualist for me

 

[hatsRme]

She's got your back, GDurand! Literally. Sweet OR, well worn!

David I'm still coveting that lid, sir.

Today found me daring to wear a VS finished Panama...

Yes he is, but he need a beard

Joao--another artistic photo of a grand hat. Very nice.

I don't think it is very artistic but thank you!

Today this grizzly Resistol, the Panda. It's a light color hat but it feels too warm to wear in the summer weather (and temperatures are reaching 35ºC).

Dobbs Panama in sunny Hotlanta... or is it "Hat-lanta"?

Geezy Pete's!!! Your hat has a beard as long as yours!

Happy Friday.

A nice day in New Hampshire and I'm enjoying my Portis milan

 

[Landman]

Great looking hats everybody!

David, I really like your Portis Milan. That pug is a perfect match for it.

Harv, if you can't find a ribbon you like that western would look good with a horsehair band.

Joao, I saw an eBay auction that ended recently that had a furry Resistol similar to your hat. Below is a link to the auction. There aren't too many pictures of it but from what there are it looks pretty similar.
