What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[mmbarnes]

You had me convinced, Matt! Man, I love this lid.

Thanks Charlie.

Me too. I absolutely love the subtle curve of the brim. I was thinking about that a little while ago and it occurred to me that the brim curve is just about the same as the curve of the Mona Lisa's smile. I then looked at some images of the painting. Sure enough....

I wonder if that's why I like it so much.

I have now passed into the "hat psychosis" phase of my hat problem.

It's too nice a day today to not wear my new Dobbs Rosebud. Think anyone will notice (or care) it's straw?

That's a killer straw.

"ROSEBUD..."

Yesterday, Montana Peaks Hat company: custom Gus crease— one of my favorite hats that I almost never wear.

Yeah... That'un deserves more head time. Wonderful.

I may have to switch back to felt for my shopping trip, but I really felt like wearing this Penney's Solar Straw Hopoka today.

Groovy hat. Fantastic photo of the sun shining through.

Many excellent hats this week.

Dang...

Early bird gets the worn. Early morning out for a dog walk in a vtg. Adams. The blue gray felt has a unique hue in the brand new morning sun.

Who runs out of coffee on a Thursday? Jeepers. I quickly went to our local roaster for a pound of coffee. Thank goodness they are open early. A vintage Stetson Stratoliner was my sty'ln hat.

Heading down to the boat house to enjoy my morning coffee. The wind off the iced lake is still cool so I am wearing a vintage sage Stetson Stratoliner. This hat has had some unfortunate remove the bound edge. Handicaped hats matter!

It is only 9:00am and I will not have to head to work for a couple of hours. Plenty of time to get more items checked off the spring list and opportunities to wear hats.

Cheers! Eric -

All three rock.

Yes... HANDICAPPED HATS MATTER!

The Marathon under much missed Mr. Sol

I am blue with envy.

Boy oh boy...

Now this old French wool hat, dating back to before the II WW, was on the sofa ready to be worn, it get the honor for the old soldiers who never die

Gorgeous wool.

Superior Homburg Matt. I really like the grey/black look. You look very "adult" today, nice disguise!

Thanks Mike.

I pulled it off quite well until I opened my mouth.

Wonderful hats the last week everybody. Back from a few days away in sunny Dublin. Wore the Borsalino Argento there.

Welcome back.

You've got yourself one heck of a Borsalino Brotherhood there.

1920s Stetson Select Quality today. check out the overwelt

Yeah... That is a fantastic overwelt. I don't know if I have ever seen its like.
Wicked hat.

I get jealous of you guys (and that's most of you) who can just pop on a hat and make it look great. And vice-versa. I'm afraid I'm not one of you in that regard. If I weren't busy conducting a training right now, I'd be "liking" pretty much every post I see. So, this is a "global like" to all of you!

As one venerable member told me when I first came around... Most of it is "hatitude."

BE the hat... Have fun...

And remember...

Wonderful hats this morning Eric. Always love the evergreen detail shots. Hat porn.

Thanks Mike. I will endeavor to do my daily job.

I really like that Playboy.

Thanks sir. These unlined hats have been really fun to wear of late.

Well don't you look sharp Mr. Eric!

Thanks Perry. I need to up my game to some spiffy ties like your daily collection.

A simple hat with good blood lines. $7.50 at Buffalo's The Kleinhans sometime in the later 1930s. Note the very flat flange (not homburgian) and the fixed wind cord button, which serves only to hold the cord looped to attach to a jacket button.

Simple maybe, but it oozes quality, Alan.

An all class hat.

Sweet pin on your pullover.

I like the flatter brim on this one. Very classy and clean look. As ever, amazing.

Sears Pilgrim Westerner.

Very cool Bob. Love the sweat and liner on this one.

Unexpected mtg. this afternoon had me leaving in a different costume. My jacket needed a coordinating vtg.Stetson Playboy. This 1940's unlined brown hat is a fav.

Best, Eric -

One of the premier Playboys on the Lounge. The pristine liner logo is epic!

Last sunny day for a while. Back to Oregon rain and felts for a week or so. Cappas panama for the day's errands. This was the first hat I bought from NW Hats at the beginning of my addiction. I forgot about the new pug I put on last summer. Like a new hat!

 

[BobHufford]

Thanks Mike! You look outstanding in your Cappas Panama. Diggin' the pug...

Liked my Whippet so much yesterday I put it on again.

Wow. Stan Zbyszko. Now there's a blast from the past.

Very nice looking panama, Mike. Lucky you have the weather to wear it!

Very nice, Brent. I can see the logic (sort of) in the use of the X designation in a felt for beaver content, but in a straw? Beaver straw?

I feel the same way. I have a 100X Shantung... no idea what it means but since these lack any other designation on the sweats (I can’t remember what they were called when purchased) I identify them this way. I’m afraid it’s just a sales gimmick without meaning.

Thanks for that note. Buffalo has a big Polish population and I am more from the Bruno Sammartino era but I looked up Zbyszko after your comment. I didn't realize he played Gregorius in Night and the City. I've seen that film a dozen times. The fight at the end is one of the most powerful fight scenes in the movies.
