What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[UWS Cowboy]

Stefeno Italian newsboy. A great lightweight wool hat.

I thought it odd that it is a Dobbs but has the Cavanagh seal on the sweat for it's edge.

Not odd at all. Dobbs kept it in the family and called it a Cavanagh Edge (or in this case, an Improved Cavanagh Edge, for the second patent process), up until 1944, when they adopted the Guild Edge trademark. I've seen several of these "Improved" stamped sweatbands on Dobbs hats from the '30s. The same stamp also shows up on hats branded for Saks Fifth Avenue hats but made by Hat Corp.

Along with the others, I too admire your style, Douglas, and am just a bit jealous that you get the opportunity to turn out so well each day. My days of business allowing for daily jacket/tie wearing seem to be firmly in my rear view mirror but I still consider it a privilege when I can dress up a little once in a while.

Thanks for the info Brad. I have a Saks Fifth Avenue hat. I will check that out and see if it too has that stamp.

Gene, with all of the GREAT hats you have? I imagine you have you own selection process for matching your hats up no matter what your wearing.
You have one of the best collections around.

Open Road

My first Open Road arrived yesterday, so it got its debut today. Even if it's not as old as the seller claimed, I'm still pleased with it.

Ahhh, and Christmas is coming so you'll, no doubt, be dusting that one off despite it all.

You are sure right about that! I will not be denied my yearly "bowler outing" no matter what!

And thanks, Spats!

Same weather pattern...

Thanks, Douglas. I'm not complaining, that's for sure. I'm plenty satisfied with my hats and I like my casual threads too, but I'd welcome it if I had more than a couple of occasions each year to put on a coat and tie. I'd give you a run for your money!

---------------------

And speaking of coordinating, here's today's get-up.

One of my favorite hats, a Stetson Eagle from the very early '40s, matched up with a warm weather shirt, a 1942 Waltham watch and my early '50s French Shriners.

My hat today

As usual, today is gray and wet in Atlanta. I reached for the dark-gray Stylemaster and headed into the gloom.

Hat and shoes match perfectly - I want both!

Super coordination all around. :eusa_clap That Stetson Eagle is really nice. What is the crown height and the brim width? They look even higher and wider than your usuals.

Thank you very much, sir!
