Work is tugging hard at my time the past few weeks. Recreation, including visiting here on the FL, is on the loosing end. Early morning I am heading out for needed coffee. Hatted in my VS dove today.

This aft. I am headed out for a meeting.

New Adam Executive!!

New to me, an Adam Executive homburg. It arrived yesterday with the typical homburg curl; I worked the brim this morning so that it looked more like a fedora. Was toying with the idea of cutting the brim, but I really like the way it reacted with the steam and manipulation...

 

[bowlerman]

Plus one on mystic's Lee and Alan's numesca! That's just dovely, Eric. AnA, don't you dare trim that beautiful executive curl! Nice ones, all.

Nutria tar...

 

[hatophile]

Eric, your VS is lovely as always.

AnA keep that Hommie like it is!

Jeff, looks like your TAR has seen some action.

 

[Mystic]

Alan, Nice! That Borso is as picturesque as the background.

Manfred, Thank you. It's not white but looks it in bright light. A light Creme color maybe.

Steve, Always appreciate your acknowledgements.

AnA, Great job on the brim. That brim is not like hair, it won't grow back if you don't like the new look.

Jeff, that hat has enough character going on to be given a movie contract.

Eric, Beautiful! I like that ribbon and bow.

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen of the lounge,
This is my first proper post on the forum despite joining up some time ago. Today I've been wearing my new Campdraft, ordered from Hats Direct about a week ago, arrived yesterday just in time for TAR Tuesday. I went with a Diamond Crease.

 

[casechopper]

Looking good Iain! It's always nice to see new faces.

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Welcome to the Lounge, lain!

 

[ottawa_adam]

Regarding the theme days, would one of you fine gentlemen be so kind as to list them and explain them to me? For example, what is TAR Tuesday?

Many thanks!

TAR is a phrase coined by GTDean at FedoraFest....
Thin A$$ Ribbon
Not to be confused with ..
WAR....
Wide A$$ Ribbon... also coined by Tom.
What part moonshine played in the coinage of the words I can not say.

It's been a while...

...since I posted my hat of the day, primarily because I have found myself wearing the same hat most days, a Lee Water-Bloc Ten. But here are a few I've worn recently.

First, a Ruxton Hats bowler, from, I believe, the '20s. I wore it for a New Year's Eve train ride on the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway.

Unfortunately, during the course of the evening most of the sweatband separated from the hat. Not sure how I'm going to fix that.

On January 23rd, an Adam Premier Executive flat-top with back bow. I believe the last time I wore/posted it was in January 2010.

Yesterday and today, a Stetson Playboy VitaFelt. Posting photos from both days as the one from today shows the color better, I think.

I've gone back a few pages, anyway, and checked out the hats--some great ones being posted!

Cheers,
Tom

TAR
WAR....
Wide A$$ Ribbon...

Thanks for the explanation, Rusty! I suppose the Adam I've just posted would fall under the Super-WAR category.

Cheers,
Tom

 

[RBH]

Yep Tom... thats a WWAR !

Let me add, that mid ribbon looks good on you!

Thanks for the insight, RBH. What are the other themed days?

 

[Monte]

Ok...finally going to try to post a pic. I hope this works......

 

[Monte]

This is a Walton Cordova I found in a hat box at a local thrift shop. Got two for $9. The sweat is more fragile than my Stetsons but the felt is beautiful and soft. Probably fits me as well as any hat I own!

 

[C44Antelope]

I wore the tan Dobbs similar to what they're calling a Marmon. I've had the hat for over 20 years. I'll have to post a picture

 

[Chepstow]

Tango, Tom, nice hats you wear! All looks good on you but the Playboy is my favorite hat.

Ian, welcome, here! Good photos and a good start posting with the nice CD. Looks good on you!

Jeff, cool hat with signs that you wear him gladly!

AnA, that is the first time, that I see a Homburg, with a swoop downwards! The look is ok but, please, have pity with the Homburger!

Eric, I am always fascinated from you VS Dove! Sharp hat!

Monte, nice hat. What is it for a color?
