What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[GregNYC]

Great lids all! And happy Monday. I'm back to work for a few days this week. Today with this 8-dart flat cap from Keith Lo Bue from 1940's auto upholstery. Will switch to my new Stetson later today.

Looking great guys. David hope things go better for ya'll.

Black Haven today. It's not quite as tapered as it looks.

 

[GregNYC]

LT, you are rocking that Fed IV!

Sam, what jacket is that?

Perry, I'd like to see that hat at some different angles one of these days! I like the overall shape.

Hi Greg,
It's a Lost Worlds National Racer that I picked up from a fellow lounger who's paring down his collection. It's a nice heavy front quarter horsehide and is still very stiff as it is only beginning to break in.

Sam, thanks! Yes, LW jackets have heavy, high-quality hides. Looks good!!

Thanks Greg. My work computer is being finicky but I'll try to get some other photos tonight.

Great looking lacer boots Sam, what brand are they?

Hi Perry,
These are White's that I picked up from the same lounger that I got the jacket from. Here's a better photo

My first fedora, purchased new in 1971. It was discovered in a store's basement with many other new old stock (1949-ish) Lee's at the time.
I am wearing this today to mark the passing of the store's owner/founder, Mr. Harris, seen here inspecting his product at his 100th birthday in June 2012, where he remembered every detail about these lids! Mr. Harris passed away peacefully over the weekend.


My 1973 high school yearbook, where the seeds were sowed. Can you find me?


This Lee private label STILL serves me well today, and consistently receives comments.

Lookin sharp on this post-holiday Monday Greg, Lt., Sam, and Perry.

 

[GregNYC]

Charlie, thanks for these pictures and memories! Have you worn hats all the intervening years, or were there some hatless years in therre?

Thank you, Alan. I must have looked TERRIBLE back then.... :Cry:

Great hat and story, Charlie, I think we discussed that when we met. Still debonair after all these years!

Thanks for the hat history, Charlie. Wonderful Lee, and I would guess that Mr. Harris had a full life. We should all be so lucky.
