What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Dean, You could be a character in Silent Running. :eusa_clap

Wow, I haven't heard a reference to that movie (one of my old favorites) in a long time! :eusa_clap

Cheers,

Stetson Select Quality

Last Sunday after church with Rhonda.

Beautiful black Stetson I bought from Marc C. when he was selling a bunch of his hats earlier this year. (Still kicking myself for not bidding higher on the lavender one!) IIRC, the auction said it was a 20's era hat.

Cheers,
Tom

Tango Yankee, Wow! That is about the widest ribbon I've ever seen on a Hat. And it looks great! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

R's hat is quite nice and it was nice that you could no longer resist. I am sure your comments were heart felt. Who knows, we may yet see you sporting such a lid.

Ha! You have no idea how hard I'm working on that!
I was just stretching a 40s 3X Stetson cowboy... but trying
to figure out how to make a semi-conversion to fedora crown.

The cowboy hat is a state of mind and I am
still trying to enter it! What will take me over
the edge? The same thing that got me to wear
my Nutria Quality hat- the wide brim is practical
for walking my dog!

But my comments were absolutely heart felt (no pun intended).
That "LSD" hat of RBH's is really great.

Didn't you have a moustache last pic?

 

[indycop]

uh... yeah... they do now....

Will you post pics of your new cement fedora from Buckaroo hatters?lol lol

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Didn't you have a moustache last pic?

Yeah! I miss the cookie duster!

 

[indycop]

lol lol lol lol

 

[Tango Yankee]

Thanks, J.T.! The ribbon is 2 3/8", the brim 2 1/2", and the crown height on the highest part on the sides is about 5".

Good eye, Indycop, Mr. Lucky! I shaved it off prior to a recent job interview. My wife didn't even notice until I asked her if she noticed anything different--despite having been kissed a couple of times when I got home from work! lol

This is the third time in my adult life I've not had a mustache. The first was basic training, the second was when I was stationed on Guam and got tired of constantly clearing water from my mask when scuba diving. I'm not sure how long I'll go before growing it back again!

Oh, a note on when we were leaving church. It was our son's church, as we were visiting him and his family for the weekend. I had my hat, he had one of the stingy brims I've given him, and his wife's grandfather, Paul, had a hat I gave him. We were outside when a guy came up and asked "Is it a requirement to be in the Yeager family to wear a hat?" lol Actually, he probably said "Yager" family, as that is how Charles spells his last name. Technically, he's my step-son and my wife's first husband was a Yager. I told her that she must have known she was destined to marry a Yeager from Southern California, but she got the spelling wrong the first time!


And I wanted to say that there continues to be an amazing display of hats on both the ladies and the gentlemen here. I've not had time to post much recently, but like J.T., when I get the chance to look in this is usually the first thread I check out these days.

Cheers,
Tom

 

[DOUGLAS]

Tom that hat is fantastic and it looks great on you!!

 

[DOUGLAS]

Turgis

 

[Dinerman]

Yeah, douglas.

'20s? I guess the fuzzy thing was popular for a while back then. Still looks good.

 

[DOUGLAS]

It is made very well. I need to fix the ribbon but other than that it is pretty cool.

 

[indycop]

Today, I wore my Camptown for the 3rd day in a row. I think the horse emblem is for workhorse, because thats what it does.

 

[Colby Jack]

And surrounded by cutie-pies!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[tandmark]

H'lo folks,

Today was a porkpie kind of day, so here's the Bailey porkpie that just seemed to fit.

This hat, bought at Bernie Utz some years back, went with me back to its old home a few days ago. I kept lying the hat down on its brim and picking it up by its crown the whole time. The sales staff went into crisis-mode!

But that was just me teasing them a little. Of all the hats I've got, this is the one that's spent the most time being worn.

As a sort of lagniappe, the snapshot includes a little bit of Puget Sound and Bainbridge Island in the background. It's actually rather dreary out there today, but I decided not to Photoshop the background to render it in its actual dull battleship grey.

Douglas, I'm really liking that Turgis!

Indycop, you're making me have to fight hard not to order a Camptown right this very second.

Cheers,
Mark

What happened to the dog's fedora? Beautiful photo, beautiful kids.

 

[RBH]

Douglas you and Mark are looking GOOD!

IC, couple sweet looking girls you got! They wear their hats well!
Great Camptown, I like your goatee as well.

For the hat, you understand, not for the chap underneath it. Although come to mention it, Rusty is quite the dish...lol
