Look what I found in my closet! I forgot about buying this one in Japan 4 years ago...you should've seen the looks on the customs officer's face lol!

Holy Moses Neo! You can turn that thing upside down, coat it with teflon, and use it as a giant wok!

Messing around with my Campdraft, I started out with a fedora crease and then changed to a cattleman's crease just for fun:

Open crown hats a fun to expirement with. If people on the street start looking at you funny, you can just pull the hat off and re-crease it. Though it may not be my hat that makes people point and snicker...:eeek:

Nice in-use hats! I especially like the hunting fedora.

I thought I would start a thread to gather together photographs of fedoras old and new, as worn out-and-about, as I really enjoy viewing these types of photos, spread throughout many other threads.

Pictures previously posted are most welcome, as I think we would all enjoy viewing many of these photos again. A quick descriptive note as to hat make and locale would greatly enhance the images.

I will start off with a few random ones:



Stetson Shantung. Tall Ships Chicago 2010. Navy Pier Chicago, August, 2010.



Optimo Tungsten, Satin. Eating out with my family after work, November 2010.



VS Granite, Satin. Just after stepping out of a cab heading to one of the night markets. Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., December 2010.



VS Granite, Satin. Fussing with my camera equipment in front of the National Taiwan Museum. Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., December 2010.



Mallory Twelve-Fifty, Snow. Winter stroll along Summit Avenue. St. Paul, Minnesota, February 2011.

Thems are some good hats.

Too bad I wasn't wearing a hat when I was at the National Palace Museum, we could have had pictures in the same spot!

Bob C., with all these hat resurrections it looks like you have a big case of cabin fever. I'm twitching myself. Those hats are all beauts.

I always said you look BEST in a WIDE brimmed hat Reminds me of the rice baskets we'd find in villages in Cambodia and 'Nam back in '69

 

[Neophyte]

Hell, this hat doesn't even have a crown, it's just a big hemispherical brim!

 

[Lefty]

It's a really soft brim break.
