What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatsRme]

Everyone else is still asleep. So I'm taking the opportunity to abscond with my circa 1944 or so teal Dobbs Game Bird. Lack of presence is a great way to avoid household chores.

This is the second of the three hats that the Missouri gentleman entrusted to me after his father passed on from this life. Similar heathered texture as the 1930s green Dobbs, but the felt quality is not quite as extraordinary. The brim treatment on this makes me happy.

Oh... because cold, beautiful sunshine...

I hope you each have a weekend full of frolicking and fun. [emoji6]

Whoa, Matt!!!! Yesterday we were GREEN with envy. Today we are pining for such a gorgeous longhair!!

I have not so much time, these day,s for hats, but I see so many interesting and astounding hats
Complimenti loungers!
In a quick pause of a rainy day (finally) I add my Gannon to the pack

The color is marvellous under the temporary sun

I like the tone on tone fo the hat and I add a jacket in blue to complete the blueish mood

It was 63 days without rain here in the NorthEast of Italy

Have anice Friday and I hope to be more present the next weeks
Ciao, ciao!

Ciao, Daniele! Astoundingly great color and shape to this hat!! ANOTHER entry into my "favorites" file!

Good morning. Outside early with the dogs in a new to me vtg. Stetson Open Road. This is a Royal De Luxe Open Road of the early 50's.

The felt is a blue/gray. More blue shows in this mornings cold cloud covered sky. Not all felt is created equal and this may be my most "clay-like". It is a thinner felt than my OR 25's or even that special 3X. This fedora, gray,is much bluer than my other OR. A very interesting color.

It is a hat that is a puzzler. The hat is pristine in that it is clean and generally unmarked. It was worn, but not hard or frequently. This hat shows a couple of small moth nibbles. I suspect that a brief brush with very fine sandpaper would smooth the 2 spots out. I will consider that, but put some wear on the hat first.

Thanks for letting me share my vtg.Stetson Royal De Luxe Open Road.

Best, Eric -

Thank YOU for sharing, Eric. We with the grand domes must live our hat fantasies vicariously through others like you. It's such a joy to see a pristine find like that!!! Wear it in the best of health, my friend.

Jeremiah you (well, SHE) put a smile on my mug, THANK you!! I didn't think that lid could look any better, but she really knocks it out of the park!!! Even coordinating her ribbon with her power equipment! I miss those days, BIG time!

Thank you Matt, it's burgundy. With burgundy contrast stitch overwelt.

Aw Chas! You kid!
I'm as boring as they come.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

A signature bow for sure. I do like how the color peeks out from the ribbon color.

Perhaps I should have left out the comma following "beautiful."
