What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Matt Deckard]

I think we just had better furs in the US... Though that is an assumption. Some Borsalinos from the day seem to be... hmm.. dry I guess is the word and they crack... at least the older ones that aren't doing well. Others like that bone colored one that was STOLEN were just a perfect felt.

Marc,

The color seems to be a blue on that hat? Is it? Really nice!

 

[MKL]

MKL, that Marathon could almost pass for a Whippet.

Douglas,

That is another reason I like it. Nice hat in your avatar!

Marc,

The color seems to be a blue on that hat? Is it? Really nice!

Thanks!

No, it's just just that the photo was taken in the shade. The hat is really a lightish grey with a very slight blue tinge. (See my avatar.)

Marc, nice, very nice. I wouldn't worry too much about that bluish tint in some of the pictures. It happens under a blue sky, and it isn't unpleasant, at all. If you really want to avoid it, a "skylight" filter will help for film. Since all pics here are digital (whether they started that way, or not) your photo software (i.e. photoshop) will have a color correction capability. The auto correct doesn't always do it. The manual color correction takes a bit of practice. For my money, your hat looks great either way! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Thanks, J.T.! You're one of the most supportive Loungers around, and I really appreciate it!

Mr. Lucky, do you ever wear a certain Huckel of an indeterminate butternut color that you acquired last year? Love to see it on you!

You ain't kidding, RBH!

Mr. Lucky, extremely modified is right! It certainly took the mods well--it looks great and you wear it well.

Cheers,

Stetson Weekender

OK, so it's not the weekend. I was wearing a lavender shirt and tie, the Weekender has a deep purple ribbon.

It doesn't look yellow to me, but what do I know? (Dick Tracy comment heard while wearing it today.)

Cheers,
Tom

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Mr. Lucky, Great hat! Fantastic modifications! Kind of reminds me of one of my heroes, Dick Tracy. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the kind comments!

Jeff - I cut the brim down to 2 1/4, rebashed the crown with a channel and front pinch and added a vintage grosgrain ribbon.

Dean - It's JUST comin' back into felt season out here in ol' SoCal. I promise you a shot of the Huckel in the very, very near future.

Tango Yankee - Love the hat, dig the ribbon. Nicely done.

Love the Week Ender Tango Yankee. Is yours vented?

 

[deanglen]

Cool. joke And I must say, Lucky, I'm very impressed with your modification work, just wish you had more angles/views of that OR. Love the eyeglasses, as I indicated in the thread about them. Your look is creative and unique. Probably due to being a writer.

Knox Premier

sorry for the poor photos

 

[Tango Yankee]

Love the Week Ender Tango Yankee. Is yours vented?

Thanks, Douglas! No, the hat itself isn't vented. It has a standard Royal Stetson liner. The sweatband, though, has an interesting vent pattern cut into it at the front:

Great Knox, BTW. I love that high crown and wide ribbon look! :eusa_clap

Cheers,
Tom
