What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[jimmy the lid]

I did! But didn't have a chance to post about it yet... I like that look, IC. Very cool. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Is there a stripe on the lower side of the ribbon, or is that the wind cord?

Cheers,

That's the wind cord. This hat never had a clear break from the crown to the brim so it rides up. I guess that is how it became my severe duty hat but still looks fresh. No liner and butter soft, I am thinking of putting a stampede string on it and using it as my adventure hat for canoeing and hiking.

I also noticed!
I also like it!!:eusa_clap

 

[Spats McGee]

Yeah, that wider ribbon looks good on the CD.

 

[CRH]

This is the Baku that Carter had pointed out to us on ebay that went without a bid. When it came back up, I grabbed it. I wore ever chance I got this summer, it's like wearing lacquered tissue paper.
...

Is that a Panama, RF, or some sort of 'mystery fiber'?

 

[CRH]

Nobody noticed the Campdraft put on a little weight?lol

[huh] I noticed! But I had to think of something worthy to say - and this was all I could come up with [huh]

That should cut down on the Thindiana Jones comments .

It sure does look good!

Really neat hat. That ribbon is way cool!

I noticed but didn't want to call any attention to such defacing that it might cause emulation.

Real sharp. One of your best.

Rennovated by Optimo. 2 5/8 brim, 7 1/2 XLO

It looks great...by no means too small.

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Mr. P, what is NWT?

Maybe I'm just used to seeing cattleman creases with a wider brim.

NWT is New With Tags. And trust me, I'm used to seeing that crease with a wider brim too!

Duhhh! Next post down and RBH already answered. Sorry!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Now this one, on the other hand, just won't cut it. 2" brim with a cattleman's crease. Just came in off e-Bay NWT. It will go in the collection but not on the head!

I like it, I also like the stacking bookcase. Mahogany?

Yes sir, but is is a single unit lawyer's bookcase; the horizontal grooves make it look stackable but its not.

 

[jimmy the lid]

That one looks great Jimmy!!! :eusa_clap
Perfection!

Thanks, R! And thanks to all for the nice comments on this lid, as well as the Mallory Dallas. Much appreciated.

Cheers,
JtL

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Sooooohhwehhh! Call the hogs 'cause I smell pork pie on a thin ribbon .

gtdean -- I think the shorter brim is certainly a different look, but it's a good look. With my own lids, I initially felt a bit awkward wearing narrower brims (like 2 1/2"). My suggestion is to wear nothing but the narrower brim for a few days (as I did). After you get used to seeing it regularly, it starts to become familiar. Once that happens, you find out that the narrower brim is simply a different look that you can incorporate as you see fit.

Indycop -- I really like the look of your Campdraft with the wider ribbon. Do I remember correctly that JazznCocktails did something similar? In both cases, I think the result was really outstanding.

Cheers,

I noticed the matched grain on the side. Very nice.

Thanks for the tip, Chief. The real issues is every weekend I revert back to western brims, especially when attending a horse show & get back into a wide brim frame of reference. I'm going to shape up that 3" brimmed 3X Open Road & wear it on weekends so I'm not swinging to far away from my fedora widths. With my facial shape, I think 2 5/8 is my limit.

I believe it's a straw from the Buri or Talipot Palm, used for many Italian "Panamas". Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong...
A definition I found:
BAKU - Made from the buri palm of Ceylon and Malabar, it is a fine, lightweight straw with a dull finish.
