What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[T Jones]

Joao, Stagecoaches make for some real nice conversions. Send me your Silverdollar and I'll make you a nice stingy out of it!

Adding Silverbelly to my list of least favorite colors for a hat, with the exception of Open Roads and Westerns. Boooooring color. I couldn't find a thin ribbon in the color I wanted, so I chose a dark green mid-ribbon for a "Wanderer" look. It came out pretty nice. I'm just not thrilled with the Silverbelly color.

TJones - Sharp hat. Very nice. Where you do you get your ribbon? Do you try to stay vintage?

Guerra GQ. Center crease. Bordeaux.

David, bond, Those hats, I like. For Westerns and Open Roads Silverbelly works out really nice. One of my favorite hats is a Silverbelly Stagecoach. I just don't care for Silverbelly on a fedora.

miamibruno, thanks buddy. It's vintage, and it really hugs the hat. A fellow Lounger gave me a good deal of vintage ribbons some time back.

RJR, thanks buddy.

+1. Looks great, Scott.

TJ--Silverbelly, learn to love it!
Really though, that's what makes this place so interesting. Each person has a different taste in hats. Nice looking mid-ribbon on that one.

David--a 25 is on my "find" list. It looks like you're getting settled in TX. I may be making a trip to Houston and thereabouts in the near future to see family.

Bushman--looking good in the Chatham.

Asmo--nice one.

It's straw or felt weather today here in Northern CA, with temperatures in the high 60s to mid 70s. We just returned from the local farmer's market where hats were in abundance. I saw more hats than ever before, from westerns, straws, straw westerns, fur and wool felts, and couple of nice wide-brim fedoras.

I broke out the 1930s Stetson No. 1 Quality.

Finally, the chance to legitimately wear straw. My newly acquired Bailey Hanson Litestraw Fedora.

Since the sun was really great today, I broke out a Panama Bob / Art Fawcett Panama, re-worked with vintage ribbon...

The beret was 12" new but after washing has shrunk down to around 10-11".

hRm--nice PB/VS, also nice to see you're having some Panama weather.

No and no again. I like it as it is. If you want to make me a stingy, find a $3 hat in my size.

Take it easy man. I see some nice works on silverbelly hats. Just look for more examples and maybe you can get it to work.
