What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[randooch]

Delectans, do you by chance have a National Geographic photography team on retainer? It's okay to admit it.

A viewing delight as always. Thanks for posting!

 

[Brando11]

What a delight, Delectans! I always enjoy your photo essays so much.

The Montecristis are becoming your signature-

Thanks.

 

[alanfgag]

More fab stuff, AL... especially that poor cousin of a nutria running for cover at the sight of your montecristi. He knows a hat man when he sees one.

 

[BR Gordon]

Beautiful photos. I particularly enjoyed the schooner photos. We don't see many in our part of the country.

 

[Flipped Lid]

Those pictures are amazing. Thanks so much for posting them.

 

[hatophile]

Royal Stetson.

 

[zetwal]

Hatophile, I used to have a RS Custom V that looked like that. Is that what it is? I'm guessing not, or you'd have mentioned it.

 

[delectans]

Royal Stetson.

Looking rather aristocratic, Perry!

 

[hatophile]

Thanks, guys.

Actually the hat is a ringer for a Custom V, but does not say any where on it that I have found.
It's from a men's shop in Nebraska originally, price of $10.95.
You can't see my shirt very well, but it's a black background with red, green and blue parrots on either side.

 

[Neophyte]

Hatophile, you have the greatest wide-brims. :eusa_clap

 

[delectans]

Much obliged for all the kind comments, gentlemen, they are sincerely appreciated.


EggHead: Trying to wear out my three year old Nikon D90 with AF-S DX 18-105mm lens so that I can justify a new purchase. lol


randooch: Lydia and Ryan are all I've got...on permanent assignment!


Brando 11: My Montecristi has been my inseparable companion this Summer, but, alas, the Panama wearing season here in Minnesota is so very short...


Alan: Guilty as charged, for imagining what lovely felt the beautiful wild Mink would make!


BR Gordon: The Tall Ships are always a sight to behold. The Toshiba Tall Ships Festival may be worthwhile checking out.


Flipped Lid: My thanks once again for your kind words!

Tilley T3 With Netting


Back home in Minnesota. A pretty 12" Largemouth last night just before nightfall, at our favorite little spring fed pond.



Released to fight another day.

 

[hatophile]

Nice "catch" Al!
Thanks, Neo.

 

[delectans]

Thank you, Perry!

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Perry love the ribbon the the Royal Stetson has a nice texture.

 

[hatophile]

Thanks, Ed. It's a "corded" type ribbon I've seen mostly on Westerns, rarely on a fedora.

Hatto - I really like the look of that RS.

Al - I take it there are plenty of mozzies around since you are using the net?

I was sticking with thin ribbon today - Bluegrass Green Campdraft. My very first hat.

The grass on the banks of the pond is dense, as are the mosquitos, which is why we wore long-sleeved shirts and pants as well as netting over our hats. The pond is beautiful, though, and is a 'honey hole' for Largemouth Bass.

Your Bluegrass Campdraft may be your first hat, but it still is one of your best as far as proportions and overall look, in my opinion. :eusa_clap

I think we've pretty well exhausted the superlatives, so, I'll just say that I also really enjoyed this set. :eusa_clap
