What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[St.Ignatz]

you've got to learn the hard way.

In rather poor taste my friend. I think many fellow loungers remember the Thalidomide births of several decades ago. Not among my favorite childhood memories.

Been away from this thread for a while, dealing all that is going on with my very 'real' life of late... deep breath... deep sigh.

Have missed all of you gents and your terrific hats!!

Ephraim, what a GREAT way to come back to this thread- to see you looking very handsome in this WONDERFUL hat!! Love the ribbon and trim details- excellent for you Sir.

G'day Loungers! Geez, noone seems to have missed me!

Rosie Boylan is probably Australia's best hatmakers and milliners. She's most well known for her work on Australian film, such as Baz Lurman''s Australia and Moulin Rouge, The Piano and a long list of others.

Rosie made this one as a one-off bespoke fedora for me. My instructions were to produce a modern take on the classic fedora - high crown, 2 1/4" brim, underwelt. The ribbon was dyed specifically for this hat.

I wore it to the art gallery today...

Newly-arrived Knox Premier...

damn it, Jimmy! you did it again: excuse me guys, I need to step out to go wipe my drool. Great hat!:eusa_clap

 

[Aureliano]

Agreed. And what about our ol' pal, Sue?

BobC -- we know you're out there...:whistling

That's right! Where's Sue?... Last time she posted she was making teddy bears for a kid's charity... I think.

My Stetson Deanzat Hybrid (so-called because I converted it from a giant-brimmed, cattleman's crease western).

So far, every hat I've tried has been uncomfortable in 107 degree heat, so I figure, if I'm going to be uncomfortable anyway, I can at least use the sweat to further resize this size 7 hat to fit my 7 3/8 head!

 

[St.Ignatz]

Agreed. And what about our ol' pal, Sue?

I've seen a few very nice 6 7/8 go on the bay recently so she can't be too far.

I am BACK!

Hey guys, I am back. Today is the first day I have been able to get onto the Lounge in weeks. Jackie and I went on our every two year trip to England to visit her family, who all live there. We were there for five weeks and I had a hard time getting onto the internet to keep up or post pics. We returned last week-end and I have since been frantically trying to catch up with work, court, etc. I scanned back several pages a few minutes ago and saw that Gene and several others were looking for me; tickled me to no end to see that, since in so many forums people come and go and are just fleeting. Well, I'm here to stay!

I also noted that we have several new guys here since I was gone--welcome to you all!

I don't start many threads but I will put up a short one in a few minutes, with some shots from our trip over....all with hats to be sure!

Today I wore my Dobbs Hanover Square (courtesy of Gene might I add) out and about. Its warm here, 101* today I believe, but I love my felts!

Nice

Bart, we have similar taste in hats and dogs. I just lost a good old Boston Terrier about a month ago, they are hard to beat. He was down to one eye, had seizures, mostly deaf, but always in good spirits and ready to entertain. Cheers, Frank

So sorry you lost your friend, Frank. Bostons sure are a special breed with loads of personality, except ours makes you think there is a midget, bean eating, tuxedo wearing trucker sleeping under the covers with all the snoring and other noises.

As always nice lids lads!!!:eusa_clap

A particularly interesting hat Mr T! The dimensions are perfect for you.

As for me, it's been the fairly pedestrian old Fed iv in the cold of the last few weeks. It really is getting nice and soft and starting to develop a bit more personality.

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Thanks Elvis - Rosie took great pains to get the dimensions right.
You're in Sydney aren't you? You need to pop down to Rosie's studio in Newtown and have one made for you. She's a gem!
