What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Michaelshane]

Thanks for the comments on the new 100.

It's a later model, mid sixties I'd guess, very clean. I gave the original cattleman crease a nudge towards fedora... I'm happy with how that looks. The brim is very stiff and somewhat brittle - it fights back something fierce when I try to snap it down. So I think this is how it will rest for now. I'll post some additional pictures in a bit.

The one I wore yesterday is 60s also and quite stiff.The older ones I have are very soft.I can shape them like clay.

The body felt is moldable - similar to my early 7X but a little heavier and firmer... no steam needed to shape. The brim is very crispy though.

Another extraordinary weekend of hats, gentlemen!

Knocked about St. Paul today with my family, wearing my knock-about hat: VS satin finish, in Granite, and my favorite Merino wool coat.


Beautiful, clear morning, in front of The Germanic-American Institute.



Large, glittering flakes of snow wafting lazily earthward.



Historic Summit Avenue, St. Paul.



Love the white stuff on long-haired beaver fur.



At our usual table, Meritage, St. Paul, for a late lunch.

Scala Venice

My new Scala Venice in Black:

I'm looking to tweak the teardrop a bit, and possibly change to a 1 7/8 - 2" grey ribbon, but need some advice and equipment before that can happen.

Happy Hat Wearing!

Some really nice ones today! Michaelshane, I love your photos - they are a pleasure to see and you wear your hats so comfortably. Nice boots, too.

Alan, you and your wife look great, and the 100 is superb.

JtL - it's not often we see you wearing a great lid in a t-shirt, especially this time of year. Looking good!

GTdean - a nice "hat in action" photo. I hope that 2 year old isn't tied to the kind of post the Allman Bros were always singing about...

 

[Torpedo]

Mr Lucky, I love them both!
Alan, great family shots. Very fine Steson 100 study, too.

Hat looks perfect for the task...horse looks a bit skittish.

Thanks Wade & others. She is a bit fractious but getting used to it. She is a reining/reined cowhorse bred filly. Her mother is out in the front pasture.

There you go. Now that is excelente! Not everyone can wear a black hat well, by the way. On me they look too severe. On you, it's just another good color.

Good one. I like the style. I hope you induce copying in the Twin Cities. Say hello to Mark Dayton for me next time you're near the mansion on Summit Avenue. Tell him I'm happy he won.

That one's got a really nice front profile, Rodkins.

AL : It just does not get any better than that! That Granite VS looks great, also fine photography. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

Wore this hat (Stetson OR knockoff) Saturday nite to see Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt in concert at the Akron Civic Theater. Nice acoustic venue in an old ornate theater. Lyle's second song of the night was "Don't touch my hat".

Today, Henry the Hatter.

 

[jimmy the lid]

NIce lookin' lids, hatophile. Sounds like a great concert, as well!

Cheers,
JtL

Those are both good ones on you. With the second one, you have pulled off a "vintage looking, homburg looking dress hat" without any hint of affectation. It looks totally natural, which is the goal. So, congratulations.

 

[hatophile]

Thanks, Dan. Actually, I think the second is a fedora with a wide brim binding. I tried it with the brim snapped down, but thought I liked the upward look better for a more formal appearance. Anyway, it's a great hat.

Appreciate the kind words, Dan.

Very nice, hatophile. That Stetson really complements your eye color

Great hats gents

 

[Neophyte]

I am now thoroughly convinced regarding the versatility of lighter-colored hats. While I'm not sure about the ribbon, I'm pretty sure that this Bone color goes with just about anything, even my backpack .
