What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Mallory Ten Aircool Ventilated.

Now that's a nice lid, and an unusual one. Any guesses as to its vintage?

 

[J. M. Stovall]

There is no date, but it has a "United Hatters, Cap & Millinery WKRS Int Union" tag, and it was an even $10 when it was bought new from Fuka Men's Wear in Chicago. That union seems to have ended in 1954.

WOW.

I usually don't like the whip-stitched treatment on some old brims but that laced bit, in those colors, is just fantastic. What a great hat and photo. Take a bow, J.M.!

Yes, a pair of crossed sabres would be fine. As would some helicopters in the background, and some selected exerpts from "Die Walküre" for a music accompaniment. And perhaps a surf board.

I have been watching the 1937 Frank Buck serial 'Jungle Menace'.
It has put me in the mood for my Classic Colonial style panama.

So... here I am in my PanamaBob/Art Fawcett Classic Colonial panama.

By the way the serial is full of great panamas, I may start a thread with some screen shots from it.

We decided to have dinner at Texas Roadhouse tonight, so I thought a Texas style hat was in order. I chose my Resistol San Antonio. The only other head covering I saw in the place was a New York Yankees baseball cap.

Bob, I think it's good to have one (or two or three ) with the cattleman's crease left in. You wear yours really, really well.

I don't know that I've seen a thin ribbon optimo before, but I like it, especially with that shirt. There ought to be a palm tree near you somewhere.

I always thought I wouldn't like an optimo crease, but seeing yours and after holding John's in my hands I'm changing my mind. That one looks real good on you and John's on him.

Thanks, Gene. I've got this one and two late model (60's) Open Roads that still have cattleman creases. I just don't have the heart to change those old hats to what I want them to be. I still haven't hit pay dirt on an older Open Road yet, but when I do, the two I have will go up for sale.

Hey Bob! Way to go!!! Love those cattleman's crease ORs....I had no idea there were Texas Road House restaurants in Illinois!
