What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Eliesti]

Late Entry today: Akubra Stylemaster

Now perhaps I should post the following remark in a confession thread of some sort, but I just love the dimensions of the Stylemaster. At least for my face shape. It feels most natural on my head. I know it falls short of the classic dimensions of those 40s/50s fedoras (which I absolutely love and appreciate), but a year or so into this hobby, I've realized there's are legendary hats to be had, and then there's what looks good on my head. Sometimes those are the same and sometimes they are different.

Or, I'm just going to grow Anthony's beard, because he looks good in everything! The beard brings balance to the force.

It looks great on you. I have a similar face shape and may just have to get one of these sooner rather than later.

I love this hat.

Thanks Hatto. Of the various Whippets that have passed through my clutches, this one was first and still my favorite.

That is one beautiful hat! I must say you have an extensive and exquisite collection. Keep them coming!

Thanks!

That Portis is something special, right there! I've been trying to get a light colored wide ribbon like that for years. You're a lucky man, Bama!

 

[Bob Roberts]

Thanks Bob. Th back crease reminds me of the 1930's Auburn Boattail Speedster which influenced the Buick Riviera some 40 yrs later.

Wicm. It sure does. That Riv is almost as pretty as the Auburn.

I've got some catching up to do...

Alan, we'll all be trying to catch you forever!

 

[EstherWeis]

Thanks, Esther. Happy to share with you, these others, not so much.

Lucky me! Now that I think about it, I don't have one like that yet.

After a morning of rushing and general clumsiness on my part.

Spring has left the building, probably with Elvis, so I'll return to my Zapf hut bought in MLunich two years ago!

First this Stetson

Later this Biltmore

Two stunners!
I like the crown on that Stetson. Does it have a welted brim?
You know how I feel about that Biltmore.

Awesome as always Perry. Have you shared that tie collection in the tie thread?

Stunning, Alan. I echo those who say it is us that need to catch you, not the other way around.

Echter Borsalino, NOS condition, date stamped 17.5.29, have to be extra careful with this one.

Another stunner, Steve! Had to sit down and catch my breath. I'm a sucker for a shark's gill.

Those tight, deep pinches look great!

Hatto - great looking Borsalino

Jim - I love that Whippet

Fabio - very stylish. Is it the camera angle or does that bowler have an exceptionally tall crown?

Still raining here - good day for this plastic straw JC Penney.
