What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[monbla256]

Nice bright, clear, cool fall day up here in N. Texas so thought I'd go with one of my "stingy" brims today ( I now it is NOT a real "stingy" but it is UNDER 3" so is "stingy" to me. Wear a Bushman as your main hat for around 30 years and you get a different perspective ) . Will put on the dark chocolate brown Stylemaster I got from John Helmer last month Onward thru the fog

bluish/gray houndstooth......flea market find.

I have to say, that is one of the nicest looking wool hats I've seen. !

Wearing the Glen Grey Campdraft in this dreary weather around Atlanta...

now that (and the black whippet) gives me a little hat envy...

I've been working my Akubra Lightning Ridge into a small-scale () western the past couple days. I really like it, and it erases some of the uncertainty I had about venturing further into the world of western hats .

By the way, great show of hats everyone! Lots of variety on this page :eusa_clap!

Thanks so much, Randy! It turned out a lot better than I'd hoped, even with the tapered crown.

That one has a real Rowdy Yates look on you. (Sorry, you'll have to look up the reference.)

Indeed I did. Now that I know more about it, I realize that's a pretty awesome look to evoke . Thanks you sir!!!

I really like it. What a smart way to test out the western look before you buy one.

I did something similar to my Riverina. Helps channel rain off to the back as well...

Another rainy day in the South... so another Campdraft, this time my green one...

That's really cool. You guys may have inspired me. Maybe the Coober Pedy needs some curl...

Looks great, too.

Thanks very much!
By the way, that Riverina looks cool! I remember reading about your Riverina somewhere, but I can't find it... I noticed with this new shape that not only does it help channel the rainwater, but at least mine seems to better resist the wind. It hardly budged at all this morning, and it was very windy! :arated: for functionality!

I was mostly inspired to do this whole thing by Havana's Akubra Cattleman on the very first page of the Western, Anyone? thread (and this link actually works). Randy, I don't recommend viewing this link until you've got those Blundstones, BTW lol.

Thanks for the compliment, Rodkins! At the very least, it couldn't hurt the Pedy to try. Go for it!

Neophyte I think it looks better curled that way.

Thanks you sir! I'm inclined to agree .

Oh, I've sneaked a peek at that hat on several occasions!

It's that Lil' Louis again...

After taking it through all those nerve-wrecking incidents, this one is fast becoming my favorite!

Today I did something I very rarely do... which is to wear my Federation with my Indy shirt.

Take a look at David Morgans site and one of pics he has of the CP done with a Western curl to the brim as worn by John Lyndes in Montana. can't get more western than that
