What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[mmbarnes]

I'm not wearing a hat today, but I embraced my grey over the weekend.
Stetson royal, and Borsalino Ghiaccio.
Some of the Borso shots were taken during a "speak easy soirée" event at which I worked. Pretty fun. My daughters snuck into a few pics.

Everything + EVERYTHING in this entire post is awesome.
Sweet, Jeff.

Wow, how tall is that crown? 7' ???

It's close. From the down swoop on the brim sides it's 7 1/4" to the peak.

That crown must be a foot tall! Looking quite "western" today. You need a Colt Peacemaker to round it out.

Nah, just studying Perry's photo techniques. No Peacemaker around, will a Fox side by side do? But then I would need to change into one of my bird hunting ties.

Podner, that's a high hat!

Quite a beauty, the thick and rich felt and ribbon are really wonderful. And you wear it so well.

Giving my newly restored Stetson Excellent Quality some fresh air.

That's lovely, Alan. How much restoration was required?

Same old same old. If you don't know what it is by now, I ain't telling.

Getting quite a Hoss vibe on that one.

Have we ever seen the liner on this one? What vintage is it? Love this hat a lot. Ribbon color is really special.

No, it is the world's finest hat. It is truly a great one Jim.

I'm sure I posted the liner before, but here it is again.

Late 40s is my estimate on the age. I like the ribbon too!

Thanks... just some love needed. Careful vacuuming of the felt, followed by steaming and brushing on a block. It was in very good condition, just dusty. There are as received and after photos on the pre-1940s Stetson Dress Hats thread.

Beautiful high crown and broad brim... I'm with you, brother: Sweet ribbon color!
How tall is the open crown... brim width?

CREASE!!!!!!!

Rest is pretty darned good, too.

Thanks-- yeah it's an interesting straw. It's earthy brown with a 2.5" brim, a teardrop crease, vents above the ribbon, and a max crown height of about 5.5" to 5.75". The model is from an older collection but there are some online sources still selling it:

The crown height on that would be right where I'd want it.

That looks really nice, Esther. Great work on that one.
