What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[bowlerman]

Very nice, Manfred! I love the pug. You look very relaxed. Cheers!

Buckaroo for me today. Actually I tried to wear it out, but my daughter commandeered it from me, so she actually ended up wearing it for most of our outing!

Took advantage of the fact that Alan was making an airport run to Manchester Airport to meet up for a quick beer and a chat. Vintage Stetson for Alan, new VS for me. Not sure the waitress quite got the tilt right for the photo though

Great meeting you in real life, Alan!

What a sharp pair of gentlemen!

Bowlerman, those colors harmonize and complement so well. It reminds me of a rich café latte with caramel.

Wet weather forecast for later today...Akubra Imperial Campdraft Fedora Lounge Special edition...

Where can one of these be purchased?

Where can one of these be purchased?

Not sure you can. Sam at EA did a special run coordinated by Duper & RBH to supply a 2 5/8" brimmed Bluegrass Green CD...

A new 40s Panama I got. Made by ADAMS hats. Panaweave they called it.

A steal at 20 bucks

W O W !
Now that is a WAB* !!!!




*wide a$$ brim

 

[johnnycanuck]

If WAB means what I think it means, then yes, it three inches of it.
For something a little more Canadian ( a throwback from my scouting days)

Thanks for the comments on the Falcon Park!

MoK, you wear that Biltmore famously! Is it coconut straw?

Thanks (and thank you to others for the comments). I don't know - it's a fine natural straw barely 1mm wide woven into a ribbon about 1cm wide then sewn together.

--------------
David - Lovely Disney - great colour to the straw
Sam - Wonderful colour
Perry - Nice Lee
Robert & Manfred - great pugs on those.
Damian - definitely a steal on that panama.
Bowlerman - beautiful contrast between felt and ribbon
Johnny - Beautiful VS.

----------------------------

I can't quite compete with Johnny's second hat, but another Biltmore fits in with Canada day at least:

Thanks for the comments the last couple of days, everyone. Sorry no chance to answer individually.

Great shot, Alan and David! David, what is that shirt?

Jeff, I got a bunch of shirts made up with the logo of one of my little businesses. http://fedoraweb.com

It isn't making me a penny, but I have a few cool polo and tee shirts so not all bad

TAR Tuesday....Biltmore Silverbelly Wilderness Collection Open Road...

 

[DJH]

ArtLite on a warm muggy morning - even more storms on the way.

 

[ManofKent]

Nice silverbelly GT.

Very sharp David.

 

[Orangegrad]

Lovely VS Johnny.

It's been a cool, wet summer here in Cleveland. I've worn my Panama maybe once or twice, as it's rained so many days.

A bit of a south-western look today with my black Alessandria and Leroy Begay bolo.

Cut Down Squatter today:

 

[ManofKent]

Andy - nice looking hat. I don't see many black hats on here - are they less popular in the States than on my side of the pond where black is the norm?

Sam - looks good. How much brim did you remove? I like the look of the squatter, but the brim width has always scared me.

Sam - looks good. How much brim did you remove? I like the look of the squatter, but the brim width has always scared me.

I didn't do the trimming but it's got a dimensional brim measuring 2 5/8" front and back and 2 1/2" on the sides.

Richard - You're right that we don't see as many black hats. I purchased this because it was new old stock at a store that just couldn't sell this particular fedora. I take a 56/57, and this one sat around for years. I don't know if I would have purchased it otherwise.

Black fedoras are indeed worn here in the states, but often by men of specific religions. And so it's not surprising that I saw my very fedora in a photo of a Hasidic rabbi performing wedding ceremony. My wife told me all I need is the beard...
