What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[alanfgag]

Simply stunning. That must have been the cowboy's Sunday go to meeting (or Saturday go to Schul) hat.

THIS hat deserves, err, no REQUIRES additional posting, if only for its spectacular uniqueness. I don't recall seeing it before, Alan. New find? The silk underside is a la a tuxedo hat, isn't it?

Thanks guys... this hat is one from a bunch that surfaced in a 2012 auction for some surviving store stock from a Cheyenne, WY store that was said to have closed before WWI. I bought a few, so did RLK. Charlie, yes - the only place I've seen that silk lined brim is in 1920s - 1930s tuxedo hats. I've never owned one of these. The hats I bought from the auction were posted in the pre 1940s non-Stetson western thread.

A bit of rain this morning, more possible later. The sun is hot when it shows up. For the morning at least the Pilgrim porkpie gifted to me by Mr. Bob Hufford.

Looks better on you that it ever would have on me. (though I do wish it would have fit)

Thanks bAm!
Totally digging your handiwork. Like the looks of that ribbon!

Thanks, man! I'm doing my first whippet style right now but the binding is actually way more difficult than I expected. I finally got my process for curling the ribbon worked out but the rear seam is still a bit dodgy. That, and (re Ask a Question thread) I'm not sure which stitch to use to actually bind it.

Thanks Bob, both for the compliment and the gift. I like porkpies and I've operated quite a few of my hats in that mode at one time or another.

that looks exactly like my bathroom waste basket ... I love it !!!

That hat is a piece of work alright... Looks good on you though!

BWAHAHA!! I was thinking it needed to have some fruit in it.

...maybe it already does...
(Love ya, Matt!)

Thanks guys. (You too Mike. Just didn't want to quote your multi-quote and create a mega-quote).

Yeah... It's an oddball hat. I like to think of it as folk art. But, it needs a nice ribbon to complement its wastebasketty eccentricities. Perhaps one fashioned from some Cottonelle.

And Jim... no worries (even though I've always considered myself more of a vegetable because of my hard-of-thinkingness).
And I love you, too, you suave, debonair Playboy beast. [emoji6].
That's a kick-ass hat.

Good wet morning. Strong storms passed thru our area in the last 24 hours. This morning with on-off rain I have been out in a Stetson Whippet (circa 2013). Perfect hat for the conditions.

Best, Eric -

Great looking.

My Akubra Coober Pedy. I steamed it up since it was all jacked up when i got it off ebay. The first photo is what it looks like now while the other is the day i got it.

I like the way you've customized it to your liking.

Thanks Red and Charlie.
No, it was actually crushed under the car. I was debating what to do, so yesterday I just got out steamer and steamed the bejeebus out of it, and reshaped it. Looks better than it did before!

I've had that experience when steaming as well.

 

[Rogera]

No kidding, I have my eyes set on some right now. Just sorting out working on cars, and other things as well. I left the service in Dec

It's good to see you back safe and sound!

Nice lines, what is it? I love that tie.

Mike,

It is a 40's Pilgrim. Check out the price tag.

As long as that Cottonelle isn't tie-dyed with something.

Wouldn't that be wipe-dyed? (((SHUDDER)))

Blistering heat today. It's nice

Thank you for the likes on the ribbon yesterday. It's exquisite satin silk that will cost me an arm and leg but it's worth it in the end.

Lovely Esther... hot here too... Dobbs Cross Country feather weight, heather mix. It's one of my whisper felts.

Pristine look -- and it suits your outfit perfectly. Texture looks so smooth...

Hey mouseketeers!
The Vanzina Pavia as I get ready to try to keep up with two excited nieces on the third straight day of Disney. Thank the Powers That Be for ibuprofen.

Yet another cool, grey morning. At this rate, I fear I shall never know what frozen things do in Summer.
Have a great day!
