What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[FedOregon]

I don't wear this Dobbs poly enough. I like the blue. It goes with my new shirt from my Haberdasher's big sale last week. Dropped a C-note and got $471 worth (4 new shirts). I also got one to go with my rust colored pug on my NW Panama.

Very cool look today, Michael. If I didn't know better... I'd say you're King of The (OR) Road!

The Natty Dresser in Albany. A true old timey men's store. The best service ever!

 

[BobHufford]

Nice hat, BTW! Is that a new one or did I just miss your previous posts on this Derringer?

Thanks Doug. I've had it for awhile. Love those in your pics!

Looks good damp. Sharp.

Cap day!
Trying that "new" vintage leather coat I bought last week.

Nice looking cap and that looks like some heavy suede in the jacket.

Bowler time

A lot of roll in the brim on that one. I like it.

I like my Dobbs poly for it's indestructibility. Being imperivious to sweat damage makes it a good choice for hot weather bike riding. That and it's tight fit.

Very cool look today, Michael. If I didn't know better... I'd say you're King of The (OR) Road!

Thanks Doug. I'm not much of an open road fan in the one sense as I seldom venture even 5 miles from my house. And in the other sense there are far better collections than mine around here. They are a nice hat to wear for sure.

Nice combo, stay cool.

Thanks Mike. That is a great looking shirt you picked up on sale. Can't wait for the other 3 to show up here.

Thanks all,
Michael

wearing this 30s Stetson Montecristi Optimo Panama one last time because it's up in classifieds right now.

I'll hate to see it go but never felt it looked right in me

I'm all about the high thread count paja toquilla straw from Ecuador. The more I learn and experience the art, the handmade wonder that goes into these hats, the more I yearn for a paja toquilla that looks more like linen than straw. But there's something to be said for an inexpensive, open market 2nd that you don't have to worry about, and yet it still wears light and cool and looks great.

That's the story with this one. Some older ladies wanted 2 for $50. We haggled, me in my broken Spanish, and MrsFed with her keen shopping techniques, and got them down to $34, plus a few hard candies I had in my shirt pocket, LOL.

I wore this first to the beach. At 79F and windy, everyone was cold except me and the Misses. But the humidity read 100%! By the time I got back to home base, this one had popped a vertical line in the front crown. No matter! What character! What class! Paja toquilla for the masses, LOL!

Someone needs to go and snag this bargain, NOW!

Enjoying the heck out of my Bailey "Guthrie". Super lightweight and comfortable.

Stetson Shantung something or other. My first hat.

These are all great images. I am kind of enamored with the boater. It that a Yeddo Japanese style?

Yes, it is a Yeddo straw... not sure the connection with Japan, this was probably sourced from Italy or Switzerland.

The older ladies got the better deal.

Today I reached for the boater shelf and selected a fine plaited straw from Knox. But I couldn't help swapping head time for a new arrival from Australia.

 

[blueAZNmonkey]

You always look so sharp Justin! Are you going to create a darker line of hats for winter? Navy?

Thanks! Funny you should mention it but the one I'm currently working on is navy -- just waiting for the crown ribbon and edge binding to arrive =)

Hey all!
This Dobbs "Sunbrero" with a Western flair was made right around 1960, give or take a year. At 65g, the unknown straw type rivals my Parabuntal in weight, with an open weave perfect for this warm summer day.

Have a great day!

Very nice, Alan. I came across some Cuenca straw caps on my recent trip to Ecuador. What material is used in the making of your most recent Australian acquisition?
