What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[PapaDoc]

Hey all!
A windy one today. A snug stubby Stetson Twenty Five should stay on.

Have a great day!

Perfect looking outfit, I must say!

Wow! Such a great day of super hats! It took me an hour just to catch up from 6:00 this morning. I am in awe, as usual. God, I need a cigarette now...

Well, I'm kicking myself over and over and over. Opened up some glue and it squirted all over. And wouldn't you know it, I got some on my hat. Not even rushing to clean it off did the trick. Anyone have any tricks to covering up catastrophes like this?

What kind of glue? I would think that something like Elmers would just pop right off once it has dried. Something with more chemicals or Gorilla Glue, not so much. If it soaks into the felt, that would also bad as it come off it might take valuable felt with it. 2 cents, no charge.

This is a home run Esther !!!! Great pic !!! Gorgeous look !!

What happened to your hand?

Thank you Rodolfo.
I got lipstick on it... Don't ask me how.

Lovely hat you're wearing.

I'm enjoying all the posts, and particularly, Esther-- your dainty elegance--- HAHAHA

Thanks for the likes and comments on my Optimo variations this week. It's been a whirlwind of successes and failures, but Moptimoe was a good travel companion.

Back from travels, and though I'm really becoming attached to the Optimo, it was refreshing to mix it up today with a Borsalino Marque Grande Luxe, replete with the recently-debated "fingermarks" in the dents, and an uber-comfy unreeded sweatband:

Jep, dainty
Thank you though Jeff.

Nice hat! Lovely color.
And it looks like you like to mix up the glasses/contacts as well.

Unfortunately it was super glue. Got some on my nose. It was literally skin off my nose.

ripple in the sweat will give away if any shrinkage has taken place

Assuming the ribbon is still properly attached, I look for gaps between the ribbon and the crown.

You might want to try a small amount of nail polish remover but it could damage the felt (color and / or structure).

Of all the hats I have (and there are a lot)...
This is just such a gorgeous felt I can't seem to help myself.

Today this old friend that made me buy more brown hats.

That's a nice one, right there. Awesome.

That is my favorite of yours, E.
Great color and proportions.
You broke the mold with that one!

Yesterday's hat actually. Cold and drizzly then. Knox Grafton.

If my internet cooperates I'll have today's hat up later. Haven't decided which it will be yet.

That is a great hat Esther. Love the color play between the felt and the trimmings.

Ha!
I have missed that wall.
Great Gannon.

Looks like extra fine Fedora-days, gents. And lovely Esther without glasses!

Thanks!
It's a close call between 3 hats, impossible to choose.
You wait, the one I'm working will be more up your street.

That is a great hat Esther. Love the color play between the felt and the trimmings.

My favourite dresser is back!

Thank you very much Michael.

Nice job on the crease!
That trench is awesome, by the way.
