What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[howardeye]

1950 Open Road I bought from a Lounge member few years back. It is a great Pickin Hat. The felt is so forgiving no steam or water was needed to shape it. I am thinking of doing the Roy Rogers Block!

Great hat and guitar Howard.

 

[howardeye]

Thanks. I could not wear this hat with the crown being so tall and the wide brim until I saw a banjo player wearing it in this manner. I still prefer the narrower brim hats!

 

[hatsRme]

Thanks, Perry!

Bert, the wider brim really works well for you, sir.

David, great color on the Whippet. I perused the Whippet thread for the first time this morning, and I'm coming to appreciate them more and more!!

Howard, it looks cool!

Charlie, the outfit comes together real nicely! You've got the art of the brim!

Perry, I'd like to see a picture in natural light of the tobacco colored Stetson. It's a subtle color, one of my favorites! Hard to photograph. My tobacco Cavanagh is always off in photos.

Joao, I'm liking those immense Stetsons. Do you have any 5" brims in a taco shape?

Charlie, that VS blue smoke is awesome. Looks great with the outfit, too!

Howardeye, great OR. I like the low telescope crown! Beautiful Gibson, man.

Lovely Whippet David.

Perry - a fine choice.

Charlie - your looking very dashing today Great hat.

Howard - I like the way you've shaped that, I'm a fan of telescope crowns - looks good

Dodging the showers in a recently acquired North West Hat (with apologies to Mike...). I ordered it with a blue bound brim (as the ribbon flash) at 7 7/8, and Mike did a great job, but I just didn't like my choice (no reflection on Mike's work - he made what I asked for). I took the shears and sanding block to the edge and it's now raw at around 2 5/8", and I love it.

Very, very, nice Richard. Looks great!

 

[alanfgag]

That's very sharp Richard. Super hats from the green whippet on down the line.

Wearing my blue heather Dobbs Cross Country again today. Sorry to repeat so soon.

ps... I was playing with a moth.

 

[1mach1]

Lovely blue, Alan. As long as that moth doesn't want your Dobbs for lunch.....

Stetson Bantam after making some carburetor adjustments.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Nice double header Joao.

Thank you.

Joao - it's bit like those spot the difference games you play as a kid The Stetson's crown does give it the edge.

Was not my intention to make a difference game.
I love that old Stetson because of the crown (and brim)

Joao, the two hat days are the best!

I have to agree

1950 Open Road I bought from a Lounge member few years back. It is a great Pickin Hat. The felt is so forgiving no steam or water was needed to shape it. I am thinking of doing the Roy Rogers Block!

It looks great on you and you wear it well!

Joao, I'm liking those immense Stetsons. Do you have any 5" brims in a taco shape?

I only have one in taco shape but it doesn't have 5" brim. I think it have 4.25" or 4.5" brim.

Today a 2 hat day again. This time both Stagecoaches and both come from loungers. The silverbelly was gifted, the brown John Galt refurbished it for free (I payed the hat).

 

[GregNYC]

Alan, wonderfully classic and subtle with the matching ribbon.
Harv, such a nice color on the Bantam, I hope you don't get motor-oil spots on it!

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Great hats fellows. True admiration for the excellent posts with all showcasing their hats/caps. Cheers.

I went thru the past couple of days in detail and almost forgot to add a pic. This morning it was in the low 40'F here in Minnesota. I sported by Dunn cap to watch the lunar event and head out for a dog walk.

Best, Eric -

 

[ingineer]

Dave i'm green with jealousy
HatsRme,That is the perfect look with VS
Harv nice hat and Cleveland 4V , rare
Open roads today very cool, the telescope on Howard and the high crown on hatophile
Alan; I always look forward to your posts, repeat all you want.
Joao, The silverbelly is a knockout.
SBG great taste in caps nice to see the black Stormy as well.
This my Disco Era ? Stetson OR, just like my father wore fly fishing, very recalcitrant, wants to snap back up. Going to leave the LBJ look for a while.
Richard, did the brim prevent the famous swoop?
So happy with Mike's work, like your colour choice



Regards
Richard

Great pairing of jacket, shirt...and of course....hat. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[GregNYC]

Eric, wonderful "Quiet Man"- style cap. It goes perfectly with the nature-tones in the photo! Synchronicity! I just ordered the same style from Cordova this week.

Richard, that LBJ shape on the OR is classic!

Joao, I love that first Stagecoach. It's one of my favorites.
Eric, classic cap! Great pattern.
Richard, I like the brim up on the OR. It's more, "Respect my authoritayyyy!"

 

[job]

Everyone today has taken a great selfie of awesome hats. Some of us probably have more practice than the average person. This is definitely the form to find the best self pics of wearing a real cool accessory.

Job, that's funny! When I first started back in the summer, I felt self-conscious. A) wearing a hat in public. B) being a grown man taking a selfie with a hat in public. Now it's no big deal. Largely because of the like-mindedness of the other hat-folks here!

Thanks for the comments folks.

Alan - lovely finish and colour to the Dobbs.

Harv - looks great, watch out for oil!

Joao - I love the ribbon on that first one.

Eric - looking very English today

Richard - the binding makes swoops difficult, but it was more width, and the blue binding with grey ribbon, I'll stick to the same colour in future. That OR looks great brim up.
