What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[BobC]

Sorry to hear of your coworker, Bart. Be safe out there. Nice hat, by the way.

Yesterday, the rescued Open Road...

Today, the Royal Stetson Casual...

In front of the Bank of Japan, a neo-baroque building of 1896, in my VS camel super stingy

How stingy is that, 1 5/8"? Looks really good I think, like that colour too and the lack of tapering to the crown. Nice one.

Today, the Royal Stetson Casual...

Not seen that model before, looks good with that interesting ribbon bow. What do you use for a hat stand?

It has a cousin on here as well. It was posted when I asked if anybody knew what this style & color was.
The photo is it sitting on a hat stand made from a metal rod & a horseshoe that I got from the maker of a custom western that I have. Will get a photo of it later = it's at home...

 

[nickn5]

That would be great - I could even tempt my other half to allow me house room with THAT kind of hat stand, she's crazy about horses...

Yesterday I relaxed in my Borsalino roll-up:

Gene, I love that hat. It fits your face perfectly. How old is it?

 

[kiltie]

Gene, I love that hat. It fits your face perfectly.

...and it fits the TOP of your head pretty well, too! Excellent Gene.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Some say it's better when I put it over my face! lol

Thanks, JM & Kiltie.

Dunno about the age. Here are inner pics. Most of the hat collectors here who have Borsalino roll-ups are surprised that mine has the cloth sweatband. Makes it comfortable and easy to roll but makes it unlike others to which to compare. The felt on this is unimaginably soft, light and pliant.

Any ideas on age of this hat fellow Loungers? The lady wants to know.

My gosh! I have missed about ten pages of GREAT HATS from everyone! There are some real beauties out there and the scenic pics have been great.

We had Italian guests from Tuscany since Wednesday and I haven't had time to be on the Lounge so I have a lot of catch-up reading to do.

Well done, all!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

So... a good use of a metal rod ..huh!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Just felt nostalgically western today; can't ever lose the country roots:

Stetson Royal

One of two Stetsons purchased new within the last two years or so. Not a bad hat, but it doesn't get a lot of air time. I thought I heard it whimpering in it's box today, so I pulled it out. The hatter put a nice "C" in it for me when I got it, and even with the relatively low crown it still has a pretty nice ride.
If this was my only modern Stetson, I'd likely be in the "anti" camp, as over-all the $100 plus I dropped on it was not ultimately a good investment. However, the Sovereign I have gets me just into the "pro" camp.
