What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Mr. Paladin]

Before corn was king there was big blue stem.

Stetson plantation style.

That looks right at home on you; great locale also.:eusa_clap

 

[gtdean48]

That one looks better all the time!

Looks like that one's breaking in nicely. Also looks like it's standing up to the elements just fine!

Thanks guys, it is "seasoning" well. The dress weight is a good thing with all the rain we've had here. I've rotated it with 2 Campdrafts, but seems the beaver is more natural for the wet. I'm adjusting the "finger blocking" as I go. The character is really developing. MANY thanks again to Major Mike Moore for a most excellent lid!!!

Mario, you're placing that there guitar in the background just to tease me. Aintcha?!

Casual style par excellence with that lid.

Thanks ET! I promised to take some photos of the guitar, which I'll do over the next days. I just love her!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Great hats everyone!

Nice, Mr. P!

Today's a little more casual than usual at my office, so I wore the Resistol conversion:

It's a great looking hat. Nothing softens a hat up and brings in its character more than a couple of good rain showers.

Today i have been wearing a very nice dark grey Huckell Fedora that i bought off Ebay . had to pad out the band a bit but the condition of the hat is far better than i was expecting.

Looks like same starting blank as this one, except I had the edge bound. They do look great with a diamond crease..

Grandfather called this the 'preacher's crease' because of the cross in the crown.

Took a Royal Stetson to make that dog feel safe, huh Jimmy?

The BH F&S got the call to duty today. It is doing well in the rain...

Very well proportioned hat for your face shape.:eusa_clap

Thanks, ET. Autumn was in the air today in N. Texas. Should be up over 30 degrees Celsius again by the weekend, though. So the straws will stay out for now.

It's been up over 30 Celsius in my neck of the woods all week - and it's still only early spring here! But being the defiant soul I am, I'm sticking with felts - my Stetson 1958 Trilby today.

I hear, however, that the kids have banded together to buy Dad an Akubra Balmoral hemp lid for his birthday on Saturday. It's a nice straw lid that will come in handy for a day at the cricket come summer. Not that I'm supposed to know anything about it of course.

 

[Chiliarches]

Dang, Douglas! I really like this one.
