What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Redfokker]

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!

The brim on this one is a real statment, love it.

The cap is made by our member Keith Lo Bue. He describes the fabric as hand woven hemp straw:

"The hemp is grown by the Hmong tribeswomen, dried, and the hemp fiber stripped from the stem and pounded, boiled, spun and coated with wax before it can be strung on an old wooden loom and woven into the finished product. All year around the tribeswomen can be seen with hemp fibers wound around their hands, using what spare time they have to connect the separate fibers to make one use-able thread."

The boater is made from braided straw plaits that are attached together in some fashion... I assume sewn. Much like a milan but finer and stiffer.

Both are super clean examples of Alan Style! Love the Knox logo on the boater, beautiful.

This tried and true 1900s Stetson no.1

Not a damn thing wrong with it and it looks good on you .

Stetson Aviator 150th from DelMonico that i forgot i owned along with the Zero RH+s


i like the beard Bob

SUPER Semi-C, sir!!!
Now there's an advantage I hadn't thought of yet.... by forgetting you owned that great lid, it must have been like getting a new hat again, Rich!! I've done that more than I want to think about, too. So, does this mean we can now hide our own Easter Eggs, or Afikomen?!
