What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[jimmy the lid]

Thanks, gents.

Gene -- you beat me to it, buddy. I was figuring on posting one of my Gun Clubs later this week! I like the one you've posted -- and that photo makes me want to kick back on that porch and shoot the breeze for a spell.

Carter -- very cool that you have the old Gun Clubs. That moniker has been around for a while, and it's neat that you can date yours to 1939. I think I may have a Gun Club ad from that period around here somewhere -- I'll see if I can dig it up.

Cheers,
JtL

Raining again in the Sunny South...

I went to the Silver Belly Camp Draft today with my London Fog rain coat...

okay, gents-WOW

I'm getting (almost) worn out looking at all the wonderful HATS here- and reading posts learning about all the hats. I can't hardly keep up with all of it and I've only been here what, a week?

Now that the weather is turning warmer for Spring here, I better start swimmin' more at the Y so I'm in better shape for this...

Cuz' soon the straws will start to come, making their appearances for the warm seasons. And the Panamas, oooh... I'm sure many women have fallen for a dapper man in a dashing Panama. And THEN I find out there are Stetson Gun Clubs? Oh, no... you're killin' me!

Terrific hats Gene, Carter, Douglas, Dean48, HandlebarB, Jimmy, et al.

Too much fun, and do you the gents on FL know how to pose for a pic in a hat or WHAT?

Have a great day guys...

Yep...these gentlemen are killing me too. It all started with me doing a Google about my old Sydney and how to fix up my Brent Black Panamas...kept bringing up "thefedoralounge". Since landing here, I have picked up another Sydney, then a Hampton, Homburg, Casual, Capricorn, Federation IV Deluxe, and have another FED IV D, a Capricorn, and a CEO on order. Next will be a Bogart...and now, thinking of a Stetson Gun Club if I have any lunch money left.

BTW, "welcome and hello" to you in San Jose from me in the East Bay

Stetson Gun Club for me today:

That picture of you on the porch ranks as one of the greatest pics I've seen here. To me, it reflects what hat wearing is all about, being comfortable in body and with what you are wearing on your head. Thanks for posting the pic. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Someone posted a link for Cabela's version of the Gun Club. Regret that I don't recall who it was...but "thanks". I'm going to do some more looking around to see what they are all about. But I'm interested in one.

Unfortunately, the one at Cabela's is made one size too short for me

Carey, that one is sweet! Please keep them coming.

All of you gentlemen are sporting great lids too!

For me, today it was another borderline-stingy hat, a 2'' brim Dobbs Twenty. I had a spontaneous intervention: little Laura, showing off a headress of her own, too...

Goose - Thanks man! It's just that sort of encouragement that makes guys like you and I keep buying these hats!...

Michael - You're looking pretty relaxed and stylish yourself there pal.

Torpedo - That's funny, I am just about to post my Dobbs Twenty 2" brim that I'm wearing today.

Carter - Man of a thousand hats -- AND faces! Lookin' good.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Dobbs Twenty 2" brim for me today too:

Getting ready to do a little gardening in my new cocoa Miller milan.

Old Panama

Worked from home today so I went casual and wore my old thrift store special Panama. I think the stash is coming in real nice too

 

[billyspew]

Gene - Looking cool (always nice to see another smoker on here as well).
RBH - That looks like a great summer hat - is it a 3" brim?
1OldGI - Not sure about the hat band but loving the 'tache!
Torpedo - Great look with the bow tie
Michaelshane - Nice hat love the colour - what is it?

Everyone else looking fab too. :eusa_clap

No photo to post - not happy with the way the iPhone distorts everything

Thanks Bill!
It has a 2 5\8s brim! I did not think I would like one this 'short' till I got my pearl milan from Miller.
These are really nice hats!

Well, since Gene put out an APB on all Stetson Gun Clubs, here's my lid today -- a Cedar Creek model purchased from Bencraft Hats a few years back...

Judging from the apparition appearing over my left shoulder, it seems that the Bureau may have been infiltrated by The Shadow...

ditto what Goose said here HPGene,

Yeah, this is a knockout picture!

the hat today-rabbit fur 40's

Wore this to Ladies' Bible Study and then to run a couple of errands. Luckily, no one badmouthed me for wearing real fur!

Vintage white rabbit fur hat found at the Vintage Fashion Expo in SF on Saturday. 14-1/2yo dd picked this hat out for herself actually, so she said I should write y'all that she LET me wear it...

The vintage 40's print rayon dress came from the same show different dealer, bought on Sunday. I couldn't get to see as much as I wanted on Sat., so I went back again the next day sans DH and the children.

Gorgeous JtL..

Love the shadow behind ya...

Thanks Billy,
The stache is an ongoing project, unfortunately I no longer have enough head hair to worry about so I figured I'd style my soup strainer instead lol
The hat is my around the house and weekend beater. I'll pull out my good work Panama tomorrow.
