What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Terry "The Hat"]

I'm wearing a Stetson Sand Ridge Summer Braid Fedora in Sand Color right out of the catalogue. The heat index was 110 here today so a straw felt very nice. I don't have any "vintage" straws and am very impressed with this one. I know it's not made as well as some of the beauties I've seen here on the lounge but it fits nice, looks just like a straw whippet and is very comfortable.

Been sporting this since Memorial Day. It's a re-creased, brim moddified, re-ribboned and re-sweat banded Target find. Getting a few positive comments now and then.

Little Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire

We've vacationed at this old family owned resort for twenty summers now... Sophie was one on our first trip. She was 20 yesterday, and Donna's dad will be 92 in a couple of days. We always celebrate their birthdays in the dining room.

We went to Andover, NH for the parade on the 4th:

We've made great friends with others that come for the July 4th week each year:

Looks as though you had a great vacation Alan. We used to live right by there - my stepson still does, in Springfield.
We were visiting the family there on July 3rd, so could have easily bumped into you.

Lovely shots. While I've never disliked boaters, I'm surprised at how much I like that yeddo on you.

 

[RBH]

Well done.

Our cottage is in New London. I keep meaning to come back and visit Springfield for the Stellafane Star Party in August... haven't done it yet.

yeddontsay! There is something about the wavy brim that helps this hat. It was a great to have it for July 4th.

Thanks, B-Man. I think this Borsalino will be a favorite for a long time to come.

Hey Alan, some incredible photos there, my friend. That shot of you and your daughters is spectacular, as is the baby shot.

Dennis posted in the thread about learning hatmaking a couple of days ago. Other than that (and the appearance of the hat he sold to Bowlerman) he has been very quiet.

Oh, today it's my newly acquired Zephyr Weight "The Royal Stetson"

I love your suit alan. Usually I don't like tans at all, but this one really works - something about the particular shade, that muted plaid weave, and the fabric as well. The perfect fit helps of course. Can you reveal where you got that suit, and do you know the weave, color name - if it has one - and the fabric?
