What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[MaddHatter]

Today an old friend. This is my second most worn hat before I expanded my... erm... collection. Since my 4X beaver Stetson lost it's shape, I started wearing this because people reported those as being tough as nails.
This Resistol 20X beaver Black Gold.

I love this Resistol! I wonder what it would look like flattened out? I'm having a hard time finding anything that comes from the factory with a flattened, turned town brim. Suggestions?

Flat out the brim? I do have another Black Gold with a more flat brim but it doesn't have a cattleman crease. It's the one on my avatar.

3rd day this week with Justified (Marshall)....my fedoras are getting a little peeved...

Nice. You need to rotate the pictures.

That's weird! My photos show up fine on the Tapatalk app. I'll go back to posting on the laptop.

That's the way it is with new hats, MH. You've got to train them to fit your head right. Several days of wear is Standard Operating Procedure.

Wow - I didn't get to check in during the day and missed a ton of great hats.

Another nice day here in Texas and I'm relaxing on our deck with one of my favorite hats, a grey Borsalino. Lightweight felt so good for these cool mornings and warm afternoons.

DJH, that is "the classic fedora" in my head when I think of the classic fedora!

THAT's the TRUTH!

Thanks MMbarnes. The vtg. Strat's were made in a bunch of great colors. Below is a pic of a while ago showing some of the colors. I have added several more Strat's in different varieties (brim sizes, different colors(shades),felt qualities, manufacturing age) and colors since the pic, but the pic still shows how Stetson had some superb color pallets on its hat offerings. Perhaps later this spring I can take a family shot.

Stay hatted, Eric -

I'm hopping a plane to MN to go hunting for that variety of tree. Texas has no trees that produce hats. Damned fine hats at that.

Good luck,suitedcboy .

The first day of spring? My Akubra of course!

The famed "Minnesota Stratbush!" Now, if there was only a "Whippettree!"

Akubra Blue Mountain after a snow initiation, bounces right back.

 

[Miamibruno]

Looks like the Akubras are getting lots of air time this "spring". And I've got to get me one of the Strat Bushes with the pastel blossoms.

hatsRme - Nice spring colors in the VS.

Hanging out in my Stevens 3X Backbow. I also have pics for Daniele of the Smith Long Hair.

 

[hatsRme]

Wowza, Miamib! That longhair looks HUGE, or is it lens distortion?

And why is the bow on THAT side?

 

[RJR]

Good ? re the bow.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Molte Grazie Bruno.
How long is the hair medium or long?
it is flush or more stiff?
Is it made in USA?
Thanks a lot

Thanks guys. I do let the hats come inside. :eusa_doh:

This weekend is the Minnesota USA-Gymnastics J.O. State Championships. Exciting and long days. Early morning found me wearing my coach costume and a Cordova Cap in the cool dark morning. The athletes are doing well and many are heading to Regional Championships as a result of today. I tell them to mentally prepare for Nationals is in May.

Thanks to everyone that commented on Borsalino from yesterday.

As with many of my vintage hats, it was previously owned by a fellow Lounge member. Same with today's hat, a nice Mallory 10

Awesome hat David. Your background is much greener than mine.
