What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Bob Roberts]

I need a whip stitch brim hat. Now to find the perfect old body (not my old body, a hat) to have Mike do his magic on!

If you own a hat with a raw unfinished brim, why not just have Mike add a whipstitch brim to one of your raw brim hats?

 

[Bob Roberts]

That's my new favourite of yours.
Super great looking. And perfect with the jacket, scarf and sweater.

Thx Matt it's my fave too.

 

[Bob Roberts]

I like your eye for color contrasts.

I woke to a balmy 44 degrees today. The big melt began yesterday. So tomorrow, the boy's 5 day weekend will end. 5 days!!!!! [emoji53]

That's what you get when you live in a 497 square mile city that has one or two plows and sanders. Busses can't hit the neighborhoods. (Of course, when I was a kid I used to walk 23 miles to and from school in raging blizzards and uphill both ways.)

Dobbs today. No price designation, just "Dobbs".

No more need be said.

We made it through with just a dusting down the Valley. Portland has a snowpocalypse!

I just spoke with a crony of mine living in Truckee, CA, where they are now up to almost 6 feet of the white stuff. He's a serious skier, but even he has cried UNCLE!!

In person it appears to my eyes to be more olive than the photos pick up.

It is some pretty awesome felt. You have a big brimmed model don't you?

Both of my APDs are short brimmed, the older one, made for Disney in the 50's has a 2 1/8" brim, the other is a 60's model with 1 3/4". The older one has slightly nicer velour, but they are both very well nade hats. Can't remember off the top of my head if they made their own felt. I bet mayser does!

Yet another brand I'm learning about. Great looking hat, very interesting! Mid to Late 50s vintage?

It has an unreeded sweatband and a $7.50 price tag, so I am thinking it is more of a late 1940s vintage.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments on the Lamson! Its a pretty cool hat with great felt.

Hey everyone!
Many thanks for the likes and kind words on recent posts.
Today I'm wearing this Resistol 3X beaver "Top Rail" that I converted a while back. Also the first wearing of this like new Avirex G1 goatskin that I found in a thrift store a couple days ago. The color on this jacket looks deep deep dark brown in some lighting situations, black in others. Fits like a glove!

Have a great day!
