What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatsRme]

FANSCRABULOUS... No, BETTER than that, Mike!! No secret at this point, that's about my favorite era/style of summer straw. It's already beautiful, and now you'll have all winter to "play" TLC with it. Is the braid all together?

Mike, congrats on the new Milan, a nice score! I love my Supernatural.

Richard: Looking very dapper with the bowler. One of the few styles I dare not wear myself.

Eric: hard to go wrong in a VS!

Alan: Super Parabuntal!

Josh: I'm quite envious of your transformative skills!

Perry: sharp look! We still have some straw days left out here on the west coast, SF's summer always hits around September.

Really loving the variety here. It's a real education for me, thanks to you all!

A crisp Sydney spring morning - summer will hit hard soon, so I've gotta get my wool on while I can. Trying out my new score today from Baron Kurtz - 1940's 'Comfy Cap' that is a fine example of truth in advertising! Thank you Pete, I love it.

Impressive show today guys. Awesome hats AND shoes. 2tone shoes and a good hat are always a recipe for cool.
Josh that conversion looks great.
Stuffsmith and Mike - congrats on the new lids. They are both top shelf

Mike - great straw. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a few more weeks of decent weather,

stuffsmith - very nice cap.

 

[mikespens]

Good look'n cap Stuff, you're look'n swell in it.

Thanks Charlie, Jared, dh66, and Richard.

Charlie, the hat is solid and in fantastic condition, just dirty from age. A real quality hat. It will need the pug cleaned of some tape residue and light staining, and and the brim ironed a bit from a rough trip. Afterwards, it will be king of my milans.

Portis Tissue Weight today

Akubra Bushman in Moonstone Grey

I've steamed down the front brim but I think I'll leave the open crown "as is". The tall crown elongates my roundish face.
With a 3-1/4 inch brim, that's about as large a brim for a hat that I'll wear to the office.
As per usual, this Akubra product is a real bargain for the money. I tend to wear them whenever rain is forecast.

Nice start Viclip and Sam.

Stratoliner today. Rain and cooling temps predicted. Looks like summer is over. I feel about as blurry as I look in this photo.

 

[Stuffsmith]

Casechopper, that ribbon is maybe the coolest I've ever seen on a hat. Nice!

One more day for straws around this neck of the woods...


That new-to-you cap is PERFECT for you, Stuffy!! Great proportions, fit.

Mike you are becoming a King of mid-century Milans. Will you attempt the clean up yourself?

Sam, that Portis is simply one of your BEST lids, sir.

viclip your moonstone choice for today is spot on! That color is amazing!

Perry, we're ALL a little blurry, (or fuzzy, maybe) but your Strat still looks very sharp!

 

[Landman]

Great hats guys!

Josh, that is the best Homburg conversion I have seen. Great job!

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Gorgeous 52'F morning. Out and getting things completed in my gray/blue 50's Stetson Stratoliner.

Wonderful hats and Caps today, great that you all keep this thread alive with all your great photos. Thanks to all!!
Not enough time to comment everyone individually but you all look really Sharp
with your hat's and Caps!

Trying to brighten up a dreary day with some clear beaver.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Clear beaver - wow. The pic does justice to the smooth dense felt of the beaver hat. Thanks for sharing your vintage collection Allan.

Not vintage, but I am heading out in my bluesmoke Executive shortly. The 65'F temps mean I can find some different duds to wear.

Eric -

 

[TheDane]

Beautiful hats, all. Nice to see, some of you still enjoy straw-temperatures

Eric: I guess, the colors of your jacket and shirt in combination with the surroundings give new meaning to the expression "spruced up". You're looking great in your sharp Strat!

Alan: Is that a Stetson 7X CB? It sure looks gorgeous! :eusa_clap

 

[mikespens]

Mike you are becoming a King of mid-century Milans. Will you attempt the clean up yourself?

Thanks Charlie but nowhere near that title with my modest collection. I'll leave the clean up to my local pro, I've had success sprucing up felt myself but will leave the straw and vintage pug to someone qualified. The milan was a bargain to boot so I'll still end up with a nice deal on it.

Great morning posts as usual fellas.

 

[hatophile]

HatsRme, Eric, and Alan, nice contributions for today!

'Tis... and thanks.
