What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

@EstherWeis
Nice! Got something of "Dallas".

 

[EstherWeis]

Always enjoy seeing that one, E.
You look great! Enjoy your day.

Thank you Harv, and I did enjoy my day.
Hope you have a nice day today.

Beautiful! Your hats really are stunning, such an inspiration! What is the inside of your ladies' fedoras like? Are they finished like most men's hats or unlined with a grosgrain sweatband like most women's hats?

Why thank you, I appreciate that!
I do both, depending on what she wants. I have ladies asking for lining and leather sweat, others don't.
I myself can't stand the feel of a leather sweat. It snags on my hair.
Drives me absolutely nuts.
I use a special type of grosgrain, way softer on your coiffure and they stay put just as well. As things go in custom hatting, the customer can choose.

Great bowler!!

Esther – I love that color. Wow.

Thx Adrian!
It's blue alright
And a late congrats and well done to your son!

Stetson 100

Cheers!

That's a stunning hat!

You brighten up my morning, and ease my pain a little. I really like this color, however, it is to "wild" for my wife. She really needs to take a fashion leap!

I hope you're feeling better.
She can pick any color she likes. Over 50 colors available. she might like todays hat a bit more.

Blue is for you Esther !!! Real nice one fit for you

Very nice. Have we seen that one before? A great look in front of the flower wall.

Dusty Periwinkle? Didn't she used to dance at the Spotted Cat?

I think she was on the marquee at that burliekew "theatre" on Brown St about 1970.

I think she was from Mulletburg.

"Mulletburg" sounds like some neighborhoods not far from the Hamburger Wagon.

Thank you Esther. I know the grosgrain you mean, I actually found a huge reel of it at a stock sale a couple of months ago for the grand old sum of €5, couldn't believe my luck. Not that I make hats myself, just clothes - although one day I'll try my hand at some amateur millinery (I've been saying that for years, but it will happen). To be honest, after all these years of wearing hats, I still haven't decided what kind of inside is best to prevent the dreaded "hat hair". I have the annoying kind of thin frizz prone hair so it's difficult. Silk liners help.

I'm not in the market for a custom hat right at this moment, but I am in Belgium fairly regularly, so it's good to know there's a great go-to hatter in Antwerp! Do you have a shop people can drop by or is it by appointment / order only?

Another beautiful hat today by the way, I agree with Michael, looks perfect in front of that flower wall.

Aw thank you.
I love that wall paper. It's in my showroom.

I hear you, that dreaded line is hard to not have.
If you know how to sew hats aren't that big of a step up. I started with clothes too, you'll enjoy it. For sure.

If you're in Belgium please feel free to pass by my atelier. I can even teach you if you'd like.
Where are you based?

Everybody's looking great again, too many good hats to all praise individually so I'll just have to use the like button...

@Sonero - interesting colour! Most men don't dare to stray away from the traditional browns/grays/navy/black in Winter, so it's good to see someone spicing things up a bit!

@mayserwegener - That black Liberty hat is interesting, I love the colour of the liner. I wonder if Liberty refers to the London department store...

Pictures of today's hat will follow later...

Hey!
That color looks great on you.
Hatting today, I see. Have fun!

 

[Strapped-4-Cache]

Sorry Esther, lunch demanded my attention. I may well have to take you up on that offer

Today's choice of hat is inspired by @Daniele Tanto 's long hair felts, @mayserwegener 's black german and austrian hats and @EstherWeis ' lovely ladies' fedoras. This is a black Austrian long haired fedora from Mühlbauer's in Vienna:

The felt is so unbelievably soft to the touch, you just can't stop stroking it. Here's a close up of the texture and the ribbon:

Resistol today.

Now that is properly Christmassy. Great hat too.

That's a really cool and elegant looking fuzzy hat.

The "rose" bow and frayed ribbon ends are a lovely touch.

You are the king o' crowns, Perry.

Killer.

It's getting very cold (for Virginia Beach, anyway) here today. Thanks for the hit of springtime.

Great looking hat!

 

[Frunobulax]

Great Resistol, Mark.
Perry, love the less well known brands. Great look.


Nice, Esther. Sort of Open Road-ish. How's the cattleman coming? Just move those pinches back!

Another bright spot for a guy sitting in the cold Ohio morning. Nice long hair, Celia. The hat ain't bad, either.

Not sure what I'll wear today, but with the temps at 5F (-10 wind chill), I'll probably wear two.

Wow, off the hook, crazy! Perfect picture; every pixel.
