What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Shohei]

Thank you very much Alan. I am glad to be able to share what few hats I have here and to be able to take in so much from you and the other loungers! (kinda feeling guilty for it )

Cheers!

 

[Shohei]

I do agree with Alan.
Shohei you do look very comfortable and natural in your hats. A real hatogenic sort.

Thank you!

Some very nice hats seen today from everyone!

Mike and Blackthorn, great photos of fedoras in action.

Despite my candidates rather poor showing (1 vote was his total) in the NH primary, life goes on.

7XCB today

 

[Rodkins]

I like that Dobbs Twenty on you! Nice lids for sure, guys.
Last night I wore my Knox Westlite

This morning my VS Pecan Artlite

It was very early and I was just coming to...

I agree with the others, Shohei, great hats there.
Your St. Regis looks good, Egg.
Looking good in those thin ribbons, Mike and Dave.

Black OR today.

Today I'm sporting my new-to-me Royal De Luxe Stetson Open Road, courtesy of frussell. These are his pics:

It's quite light and seems fragile, but I'm sure, after 50-plus years, it's tougher than I am.

Originally I planned a center dent and long side dents. However, the malleable felt insisted on the C-crown route, so it looks like the pics above, and I'm working on a bit more swoop to the brim. Though it's an LO, it fits my size 7 head well with a bit of padding. Somehow it suggested I wear a leather bomber jacket today. . . .

Sweet OR, Benz!

It is -- thank you! And it has a history with the Fedora Lounge. Apparently, some time ago, it belonged to member Joshbru3, who sold it to Frank for his wife to wear. Mrs. Frank already had a favorite hat, so he sold it to me for a very reasonable price, in return for my putting him on to those two size 6 1/2 Stratoliners I found last month.

(When you begin to think "I'm beginning to think I have too many hats" would make a good signature line on FL, you probably do have too many hats. . . . )

Nice run of ORs and Westlite, gentlemen!

We brought it along side the boat and then cut the leader near the fish.

Hi, Shark is great food, but unfortunately a lot of fishermen only take the fin for shark fin soup and dump the rest. Shark has more of a beef type texture than most fish. I grilled my own years ago and it's good. If I get to move to either Seattle or Alabama, I'll eat it more. Kansas just doesn't have good seafood (wonder why? [huh])

Later

We should leave sharks alone. But I digress.

Super hat, Perry!

 

[hatophile]

Thanks, Ale. You too could have a thin ribbon!
(Sorry, I'm enabling aren't I?)

Great Hats today, David, Mike, Perry, Benz.

Thin ribbon day. My thinner ribbon is unplanned.

I am just getting back from the gym. I wore my Lee Adventure gray hat this morning. Minnesota is expecting snow today as the temps are dropping. My head needed a warmer cover. I offer this pic of my hat;

The Lee gray is a fine hat. I have a pic of the total hat here on a slate topped table by the door.

Best wishes, Eric -

+1. Exemplary commencement for a Wednesday!

beautiful 7XCB, naturally.

Shohei-- I agree with the others-- you wear them all well. What a cool grey Royal Stetson. What kind of upright is that behind you? I love the old scroll work.

Perry-- the lesser worn black OR is really sharp, too!

Eric that Lee is fantastic. The more I check out those vintage Lees the more I like them.

Just sharks? what about beavers, rabbits, and the elusive nutria? At least Rodkins cut 'im loose.

On the seafood note: I once made the very, very regrettable mistake of ordering lobster in Pierre, capitol city of South Dakota, located just about in the center of the state, miles from... everywhere. I beseech you all not to make the same mistake I did, should you ever visit that place.
