What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Although the real world reminds me that I don't live in this lovely imaginary universe where everybody wears awesome hats every day...
It's all about perceptions. What we see as solid is mostly void at the atomic level. The hat-wearing universe is the same way...hat wearers and the voids.

Well Thank you very much!! :)


The material is fake persian lamb (astrakhan), it's like a half beret, something quite strange but looks nice, made from a vintage pattern.
I'm pretty sure they notice, you look to good not to!!


Vintage french grosgrain does indeed swirl great. I have a ribbon disk from MB and it does make life easier.
Today's hat is indeed Astrakhan (not real).

!

Can you educate me on a ribbon disk? Do you have a photo?

If the photo also has a fake Persian lamb in it, that would be even better.

Tequila, again?
 
Nice look Bob !!! You always remind me of ZZ Top !! All due respect Bob... I was supposed to have grey beard and grey hair, on my,moms side thats the trend from the mid 30's, but in my dad's is totally different....I went dad's side.

Thanks Rodolfo! Not sure where the grey beard came from. Pretty sure it was my kids. ;)

Hey peeps!
Such a pleasure it is to be in the company of such well-hatted folks. Also quite a kick to be amongst a group that doesn't think an adult (technically) with a rubber chicken is a bad thing. I firmly believe that this world would benefit greatly from at least a 21% increase in daily silliness.
As I have long ago misplaced my own latex leghorn, all I have to offer is this old duck.

Now go forth, all, and commit some harmless tomfoolery!
And have a great day whilst doing it.:)
Man... What a friggin' hat, Moe.

Funny... with all the fowl talk on here today, I had already decided to wear my similar vintage Game Bird, tomorrow.

You are giving Harv a run for his money on the GREAT AND POWERFUL.

Good luck with your daily jackassery.

I think it looks really good too @Sonero , looks good with the glasses as well. You probably just need to get used to the look of the higher crown because it's not what you normally wear. That bow is really nice too...
I think it looks great, and the proportions very near perfect. I think we can be our own harshest critic, especially when stepping out of a comfort zone. Mine is with Homburgs. Everyone but me thinks I look good in my one and only while I'm still working on it.

Thanks, mmb! I really like seeing that GB of yours. The color is so unusual it makes it quite special.
Looks like you're up to some serious non-seriousness there. Keep it going!
