What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[steur]

Whatever the colour name, it's a great color. Fine looking hat and outfit.

Thanks Red. I don't get this one out often enough.

Thanks Stefan. I will continue to test the proposition that it can go with anything. Ha ha.

I'd take a beater like that any day. Make that two beaters like that. Like the fence too.

Thanks all,
Michael

Thanks, Michael. I've been holding the Rogers Peet next to the Dattero: not the same. I think it's an Averla colour, but I have several of those, so I'll stick to Rogers Peet.

Echter Borsalino - Export Qualität probably later 1950s. The sweatband on this one melted about 6 years ago and had it replaced by Optimo Chicago.

Beautiful, Steve. Sweatbands don't last forever and the replacement is well done. What colour is this one?

It’s about 10 degrees below normal today. Being in the mid-eighties I thought felt was in order. I think I’ve only worn this 50s Melton Ten three times. So this makes four.

It deserves better than that, Bill! Or are you preserving it?

Ana's surgery was successful. The surgeon says everything went well, and she is recuperating. Thanks to all for your kind words!

That's good to hear, Max. Wish her well and take good care of her.

this one today for a short while as the sun went down New jacket I just had done and finally got to add the finishing touches too, needed a photo. Made it by cutting up a nice wool tux I found at St. Vincents for $9.

Damn, you sure look the part! Fantastic.

It's fairly cool today. Felt weather again! The Borsalino Misto Stagno got its first wearing today.

Not preserving it. I have about 80 hats. So plenty to choose from. I should probably get rid of about half.

Gorgeous felt on that one, wow.

 

[sergejvandervreede]

Temperatures are down so it's felt time. The Borsalino I traded with Moehawk some time ago (bless him). No colour or name, so I call it Rogers Peet (the shop it came from).

A beauty, Stefan!

Hat City Hat Co. from the mid 1950s today. This is my gray "beater" work hat. Doing some yard stuff while it is cool. Felts for the next few days here in Oregon!! Also a shot of the completed fence in the back yard. We left for Seattle on Friday and came home to a beautiful fence. Extra tall too, they added a "grass board" at the bottom, which makes it 7' instead of 6'.

I wish I had beater hats that look half as good, Mike.

Sunny day today on the Mexico Valley. Ana is having surgery later today. I am pretty nervous.

Impressive hat, Max! Hope the surgery was successful.

Two great hats, Justin. Love the tall contrasting ribbons.

One to wear more often, Bill. Looks good. I like how it subtly changes color depending on the light.

Somewhat cooler yesterday. Wanted to grab on of my felts from the bedroom, but Simone was still asleep. Ended up with a wool Monsivais cap instead.

This one was a stellar find Stefan. It is an interesting color in the sunshine, nice.

I consider this Hat City Hat Co. a beater because that was probably what it was when originally sold in the 1950s. This is truly an "entry level" or "cheap-o" hat. There was no price in it, but I would imagine it was at the bottom of quality level pricing. No bells and whistles, adequate felt, and not a recognized brand name. The Hat City reference in the name is to Danbury Connecticut where so many hats were made. It is an example of a beater from the era. I love it.

The material this cap is made from is one of my favorites on the Lounge Serge. It is just "Joe Cool"!
