What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[mayserwegener]

So many great hats!

Dieter, You are the Bowler King! Super!

Wade, The black Nolstagia is a knock out!

Hatophile, Fantastic swoop going on the HtH!

Herzen, Sharp VS Sahara! Brim up!

 

[Dreispitz]

Indeed, Alan! Identity in differece, jet a multitude of observable characteristics that distinct the specimens. Not boring, at all! You do look smart with yours on, by the way!

Open Road today. I have been changing the crease recently, and have settled (for the moment) on a center dent with pinches.

I kept these photos around as a guide for my next OR creasing effort...

I love that high flange in the back brim! Brim and crown height scream 30's, is it? :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Josh, 1930s maybe late 1920s.

I am out and about in my newly creased Nostalgia today.

Very nice Mr. P!:eusa_clap And your yard is recognizable again.

Cheers!

DRB, like the whiskey on you, I know you usually wear smaller brims, but that one looks good.

Mayer, another nice Borso for you.

Yeps, that crease suits well as is, the one in your guide photo is good, too.

 

[DanielJones]

For snow solidarity...

Stetson Stratoliner...

Great looking Stratoliner Jimmy!:eusa_clap It almost appears like the color of the hat & background was desaturated to go for that black & white effect and left your face & blue shirt to shine through. What color is that Stratoliner? Great looking back yard with all that snow. Brrr.

Cheers!

Thanks Daniel, mayserwegener, and Hatophile. I think I need a bit more dip in the front brim but it has been a bit stubborn so far. Daniel, it was nice to have snow since we have so little here. I love the cold weather!

Yeps, that is a good crease. I have that on two of my ORs and the cattleman on five (including a Shady Oak and a custom). All the cattlemen are brim up, the fedora styles are brim down. Looks good on you in that style.

DRB -- Nice whiskey on a cold day.

Mr. P -- the Nostalgia looks great, nice crease!

Yeps -- the style you've settled on suits you well.

Mayserwegener -- very distinctive Borso. Nice. :eusa_clap

Thanks, Dan! I see what you mean about the color in the photo, but I didn't alter anything -- the flash just made the closer part of the photo pop. In terms of the hat color, that particular Strat provides another example of some Stetson vintage felt that takes on different qualities depending on the lighting. In strong sunlight, the hat looks gray. In less direct sunlight, or indoors, there is a distinct blue/gray aspect to this lid. Just to illustrate, here is a photo of the exact same lid -- taken in conditions that were a bit more balmy...

Cheers,
JtL

Balmy... yes... Texas in March. Warmer than now I hope!!!
Great Stratoliner!!!
