What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatophile]

. It is possible that this unusual form of the boater weave was intended as a woman's hat.

I bought this hat through eBay - enjoyed picking it up in person from the owner of a local tattoo parlor who had it up for sale.

Well you look charming in it, Alan.
Did you pick up a tattoo as well?

ha!

I'm covered in them so if Alan needs one he can always borrow one of mine ... in exchange for a day in one of his fine pieces of course

Thanks! I had all of my tattoos removed some years back during a rather crazy booze infused night in Marseilles.

Looks great JamesC and welcome here!

Steve, the seal velour is very reminiscent of my Oviatt velour (A. Peschel) which is so soft it is hard to put on without changing the crease and brim. Spectacular finish.

I wore a vintage Saks Fifth Ave 15/20 clone. This one has been quiet for awhile. It is one of my most favorite...

Thanks! I guess that is why the Bohemians liked them so much!

Amazing Knox "Extra Quality" Dome Boater!

House and dog-sitting for my parents while they are out of town today. Wore my oldest hat today, my vintage Young's. Some mangy mutt got into the picture. My mom's Bichon is in it as well [emoji1]

Nice hat! It looks like the ribbon and binding are brown instead of the black that is shown on the JJ Hat Center website. If so, I like that much better.

I felt the same way Tommy... and that is nice one. Charles, good to have you back.

The weatherman said something about gopher sized hail, so I picked out a straw with a hard top.

Wow, Alan. That one is special. :eusa_clap

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks Harv. I haven't seen many like it. :yo:

Yes, it is a dark brown ribbon and bound edge

 

[moehawk]

I hope that you were able to avoid the gopher sized hail, Alan. One of those would ring your bell even in a hard hat. That straw looks really nice. What is it, if I may inqire?

 

[moehawk]

Oh, never mind Alan...lol I was looking at a short repost of your pic when I asked. I scrolled back and saw the rest of the post.
