What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Michael R.]

Newly acquired Stetson Standard Quality Feather Weight - a velour/heather hybrid... soft but not as refined or as squishable as a European velour. Weighs 3.4 ounces - more lightweight than featherweight. Sold in the 1930s by a historic Milwaukee hat shop that closed in 1970.

Fine Hat Alan ! That's a Beauty ! 5 ***** ! SWEET !

Everybody has Great Hats today ! Blessed Good Friday ! Peace !

Echter Borsalino probably late 1930s.

@Frunobulax Is that the one I heard was so Soft ? For a New Akubra ? OC ? 2 1/2" brim ? You need to be the model ! That looks SWEET ! Better than I could imagine for 2 1/2" brim , Love the color ! But Everybody wears them (their Hats) Well !

First, thanks to everybody for the good thoughts yesterday. Y'all are a bunch of good eggs and it's a pleasure to be in your company.

Second, great hats today (as usual). Too busy and frankly, a little wiped out today to make specific comments, but another great hat parade on a Good Friday.

I leave this one on the rack all too often, grabbing a vintage instead. But then I put this on and wear it for a while and it all comes back to me - soft, comfortable, great deep, rich chocolate color, perfect fit. The Akubra Fedora. I think it has a Playboy vibe to it, even down to how soft it is. Nothing like vintage, of course, but all-in-all, one of the nicest lids I've purchased new.

Yes, yes, yes, yes...um, no. [emoji1]

Great looking hat! And for whatever reason, when I first saw the photo it occurred to me that it would make for a wonderful painting by an impressionist.
Renoir, perhaps.

I agree!

Been following this thread all week without a lot of time to post and I haven't seen a mediocre hat in the bunch. All stellar as usual. I didn't figure anyone, with the exception of Dale, wanted to see me in a PBR ball cap as I was cleaning out gutters and doing early spring yard work for my mom. Got a little me time this afternoon and I'm heading out looking for a cocktail in my Stetson Twenty mode edge.

Don't know why, Bama, but I can't help but want a root beer float after I see that hat.

Looking good, my man. Love the 20. What kinda cocktail we talkin'?

Off to good Friday services with another hat for the evening. My son decided that this premier Vita-Felt homburg was the appropriate headgear. He has apparently forgiven me for assaulting him with Hawaiian music this morning.

Be well and have a great evening.

Nice Hom ! Me likey ... .

That "Poindexter" I dont mind!

I prefer him as David Johansen from the NY Dolls ... that whole Buster P. persona was a touch odd

Certainly not a root beer float.
