Not Hat today, wearing a Helmet because...

It is SPRING & I rode my motorcycle to work!
Still haven't solved the rolled/crushed snap brim in the saddlebags delimma.
It was 42 degrees & at 70mph that is a bit chilly but so worth it & ride home should be excellent. Got a serious case of helmet hair so some lid is going on this evening, may get to post that one...
I need a swoopy motorcycle helmet!!!

I like how one of the symptoms of "hat obsession" that we witness here is the pondering of what hats we will wear in our future, and how we get excited when circumstances put us in the right place to wear a particular hat in our future.

Gene, Every hat looks great on you. I mean everyone. That is not easy.

On Gene it looks effortless. Perhaps it's the artistic temperment? Love that Disney!

I've done this with styles of boots that I like because makers discontinue the styles & the new versions are just not the same & I've started doing in with styles of vintage hats cause I know they don't make any more. I'll try & get 2 identical & put 1 away for when I retire the other which I have in my rotation to wear. Talking about pondering what I'll be wearing in the distance future, just not the near future....

That's an interesting 'Indiana Outback' hat you've got going on there. A little stingy on the brim though, don'tcha' think?

Very kind of you. Is it a blessing... or a cur$e!?

...we see how a tan hat fits well on top of a blue ensemble.

Thanks, Torp.

It also has that brown ribbon. The trousers I wore were a muted brown patterned deal with pleats & cuffs. The shoes & belt were a deep orange-ish/brown. The pocket square is a combo of yellow/gold detail and reddish detail so it optically reads in the orange range. Back to the hat; it has a small orange feather.

So, it all seemed to tie in together in a way that matches and plays also on color opposites. I've always preferred the look of a hat that 'pops' on top of the outfit more than one that totally blends with it.

But then I look at the snappy way Jaunty puts it together and I realize it's not a right or wrong thing, just a preference.

I can't seem to make it hold that tight front pinch.

I don't usually like to post the same hat over and over on this thread, unless it's a special occasion or whatever. In this case however, I have to make an exception. You've all seen this one, but apart from breaking in my new Adventurebilt, this one has been on my head at least four times the last week and a half. It's not my favorite, but it is by far the most comfortable. It's warming up so the no liner thing is a bonus, too. This hat just feels darn good - great fit.

Wow, what a complement! All I can say is that I can't hold a candle to you and the other regular posters in the hat section, but I do have fun. And I have a lot of great examples to learn from!

This one is [probably] a turn-of-the-century Italian straw. I found the body at a yard sale along with a letter, dated 1903, in the hat. The lady I bought it from bought it at a flea market in San Francisco in the 70's. I paid $1.00 for it.
I kept the body and eventually had Jimmy Pierce block it and add a sweatband and ribbon. The entire hat weighs less than 6 oz. I'm afraid it'll blow off my head and I'll never know it's gone.
