What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Redfokker]

Hey all!
The wet and gusty has returned. This calls for a snug lid with low wind resistance. Like this early 60s Stetson Twenty Five. Beautiful felt, just not a lot of it with it's slim 1 7/8" brim and low crown. Still has style and plays well with umbrellas.

I thought it interesting that there is no mention of the felted edge on the sweatband.
Have a great day!

I like it. Is that a green tone I detect?

After playing grim reaper this morning, I stopped by the chateau for casualization.

While it wasn't on my mind at the time, I suspect that I subconsciously chose this one because of that fantastic Tonak that @mayserwegener hit us with yesterday. Must've made me envious...

It's a 1930s Dobbs. A very kind gentleman in Missouri entrusted it and two other of his late father's hats (the teal Game Bird & a Knapp-Felt derby) to me. I will forever be honored by that gesture.

Thank you for your comments Cindy and Matt and for the likes for yesterday's photo. I've not been feeling like myself for a while and I've drifted out of touch with day to day hat adventures. Here is a simple little old furry number sold at Saks maybe ninety years ago. I think I will bring it with me on a trip to the city next week.

It's great to see you Alan. I hope you get back to feeling good again!

Love my (really) wide brims.
Every time I go to the hospital in Lisbon, people must think I'm a tourist

I get that a lot in shops, where they often address me in English! Only tourists wear hats, everybody knows that Joao!! ;-)

Thank you Roger. A wee bit of pneumonia took a lot out of me. I am much better now.

Good to hear you're on the mend. Pneumonia can certainly set you on your ear for a while. Take care of yourself.

That's good to hear. Something just doesn't seem right when your face isn't showing up everyday exhibiting that beyond belief hat collection of yours.

They may have released him from the concussion protocol too soon.

Thanks Red!
It usually looks greyish or brownish (the over-used term taupe could apply), but there does appear to be a hint of green in this particular light. Whether or not it exists is up for debate.

A Knox Kimball

I don't know much about the Knox Kimball, I believe it's probably early 60's as the company that sold it, Newburgs out of Medford, WI sold out around 1963. If anyone knows about this hat I'd appreciate any info.
