What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Now that is a fantastic lid!

Beautifully pinched too.

Thanks for the comments on my old nutria western. Felt great to have it out on a cool dry day.

Say hello to her for me, Alan. Last time I saw her was at the Uffizi.

I hope you can say hello yourself Randall. Starts about 3:00 your time on Tuesday, if you can find a clear spot. There should be a lot of places to get a view through a solar telescope and it will be all over the news the day or so before. Doesn't happen again for 105 years.

cheers,
Alan

I agree, nice BB Dave.

David, Good looking BB, I like the proportions, crown height and brim width.

Hi David,

Have you posted close-up images of this panama? It looks nice.

So many great straws. Wore both my Campdrafts today, but here’s me in the 2 3/16 brim Glen Gray. I figured I shouldn’t waste the Nostalgia’s nice moderately wide ribbon on a beater hat, so I took it off and with a little assist from the hatshaper, stretched it out and sewed it on the Campdraft. I preferred the navy ribbon’s color to black, but black is OK too.

A day late, but I really like what you have done with your Campdrafts. I love mine, but do wish the brim was a little narrower.

Good morning folks. Back from watching our local owl this morning. The bird was undisturbed eating it's breakfast as I gazed from under the cover of the cedars.

Covered with a Lee Adventurer in buckskin.

Great shot, Eric. I can hear our owl from afar, but haven't had the pleasure of seeing him yet.

Great shot, Eric. I can hear our owl from afar, but haven't had the pleasure of seeing him yet.

I concur. Great shot of a great hat.

I'm not sure when this hat was made, but it was very well made.

Probably not allowed to post this pix so here's a link to it at Shorpy. A baseball game before baseball hats took over the world:

Thanks Perry. I did some pre-summer shaping of my straw hats over the holiday weekend. This one had a very swoopy brim flange which I straightened in the front. I look forward to wearing it more this summer.

This afternoon I recieved the Ecuadorian Panama Hat Co. milan I picked up from RLF. This is the first real milan I have handled. Quite a fine hat. I will work a bit on the hat and post up more info as I get wearing the hat. I am a hat wearer. I will baby the hat as it gets worn.

I would like to share a pic of the hat. I took a pic with it's distant cousin 2nd removed, worn by Alan on the computer screen behind the milan.

I look forward to getting to know about summer hats. I know almost nothing about panama, straws or milans. That makes me anxious to stay a learning adult.

Finally got a milan hat for warmer weather, Eric -




BTW: The hat arrived packaged the BEST of any hat I have recieved. While custom hats arrive in a custom box in a pre-prepared container, this hat was superiorly packaged by RLK. The care in packaging can not be complimented enough. Cheers sir! The best!
