What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Geldoc]

Che, add my best wishes on that fantastic photo of your father. Yes, it does seem more like mid sixties, but maybe not in the Village. The photo could have been an album cover for the early James Taylor or, later, early Cat Stevens.

Great hats guys. Kudos to Rusty's wedding hat and Frank's double breasted suit and hommie.
Che, what a great pic, looks very vintage.

Happy Father's Day to all from a Doggie Daddy.

Very cool. They used to be called the Midland Angels through the '90s, right? I used to be a huge minor league baseball nut.

Spent some time at a park in downtown Kennesaw, another small town in the Atlanta 'burbs, where I live. Here are a couple of shots of an old shed, which was probably someone's home in the late 1800's. I'm glad I didn't live back then. Also, a very old oak tree, a tunnel that goes under 3 sets of train tracks, and an interesting picture of the Kennesaw Smokers, a semi-pro baseball team back in the '20s - '50s. I never knew they had a team back then! Cool. :thumb:

...oh, and my whiskey colored Kevin McAndrew (first pic was a little blurry for some reason)...

After searching for information on the Kennesaw Smokers, I found some more VERY interesting major league baseball history as it relates to my town of Kennesaw, GA...

This is Kenesaw Mountain Landis, MLB's first commissioner, appointed in 1920:

And this is his biography:

Yep and before that they were the Midland Cubs! We used to go to Angels games quite a bit when I was a kid.

Thanks so much everyone.
It was a busy week.....now for some needed rest!
I will set back and look over all the great hats that have been posted!!

Che, great dad pic.
Me at an auction the other day.

The day prior, my wife bought some small hats for me that I will sell sometime soon when I get the time. All size 7 -- too small for me. I've got a few more small ones now that I think of it.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads who posted today. Some great hats on display.
Rusty--congrats on getting through it, and enjoy the rest.
AnA--The whiskey felt looks good with the wide, dark ribbon.

I've been inside for three days with the worst cold I've had in over ten years. Starting to feel like a human again, so I went out back for some fresh air.

Vintage Dobbs Panama on a kind of ragged-looking guy.

 

[g.durand]

AnA--great bit of baseball lore you came across there.

...and the Braves are beating the Giants...again.

Back to straw weather for today anyway.

 

[Chepstow]

Justin, thanks a lot for the kind words!

Justin, great Fathers Day photo. I wonder, your father is not a hat wearer or?

g-durand, very sharp looking Panana. Great pug on that!

Monte, a pity that all the hats are to small for you! ( I feel with you )

AnA, a nice photo with your Kevin McAndrew!

Perry, that is the summer look 2013, sharp, my friend!

Sam, great Cap and thanks for the info.

Tom, sharp hat for Monday and the right hat for that weather!

David, wonderful hat your Portis, I like him very much!

I'm really enjoying this Australian Market Akubra Fedora in Carbon Gray. The color is a real chameleon, and it fits quite nicely. Still enjoying coolish weather in Cleveland.

csechopper - really nice full-cut cap. My face is so narrow that 8 panels do not look good on me at all. I wish they did, as I really like the look on others.
