What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Historyteach24]

VERY dreary day here in Almost Heaven but could not resist wearing my 1950's Borso that I finished last night.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Andy and Teach; Nice hats fellows.

David; Wow a mullet and cap! Noting more needs to be said!

Raider; A glass and a raider on the porch sounds like a relaxing moment. Seize the moment sir.

Howard; Classy lid for stepping out on your cycle.


It is a cloudy, misty morning here. The winds from the north will usher in cool temps for the early week. I have been taking advantage of the moderate temps working in the yard in my VS Strat and a denim jacket.

Below is a pic comparision to see how the contrast ribbon and the matching ribbon of the VS fedoras work. I hope you enjoy the thin ribbon shots.

Best, Eric -

Art did some stunning work in the Strat homage. His ribbon work is supreme.

Sunday is my relax day. I have no idea why I'm wearing a starched shirt, bow tie, and sport jacket. I do know why I'm wearing the Fed IV.

Manfred, the melone/coat combo is very good for you. This is a look you pull of very well.

Andy, that color Fed IV is really nice. If I were buying again, after seeing your photos I'd have bought that color Fed iv instead of the brown.

For today: Hat People full cut tweed cap. I'm finding caps and berets to be much more convenient when out with the kids as they can be stuffed into a pocket or sat on without being damaged.

Having been working silly hours for the last week and a half, including all of last weekend, following the announcement of an inspection visit I've not been on here much other than for a quick browse. I can see I've missed some great hats, and far to many pages to go back and comment on. Next time I'm called away can you let the standard drop a little so I don't miss so much?

Anyway, in the hope that work is back to normality, and I'm back to posting regularly, here are this weekend's:

Saturday, Akubra Fed IV



Sunday, re-worked Linney (Tonak):

It's a nice day for a Knox Superfine black homburg.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend.
Enjoy.

Nice 'burg Matt

 

[g.durand]

Looking good today, gents.
Manfred, thank you sir.
Andy and Richard, a couple of matching Feds, but worn with individual flair. Richard, you know the standards will only increase as we move along. Mr. Barnes is a great example of the improving company. Nice one, Matt.
case--good looking tweed.

Stetson Vita Felt.

GDurand and ManofKent, those are fine looking fedoras!

Matt, I admire someone who can wear a homburg so stylishly. I tried one once thinking they'd look very sharp for more formal occasions, but my facial features just couldn't pull it off well. Yours looks very smart on you though.

Nice looking newsboy, Case. You make a great point too about the convenient storage of such caps compared to fedoras. I would think they're far easier to pack around on trips for the same reasons. When I travel with a fedora it's wear it or leave it at home for lack of space, safe packaging etc. And checked bag fees make lugging a separate case for a fedora both cumbersome and prohibitively expensive.

Eric, not only is that a great looking VS Strat, but I love the interesting photo of it with the lakeshore in the background. Very cool setting and perspective and all that.

Teach, great hat as usual, man.

 

[hatsRme]

So many great ones in the last two days!

GDurand if you had only one hat, it should be THAT VitaFelt. Wow, wow, WOW!

Hatguy1 I see why you feel comfy in that one... You OWN that look, man!

 

[Lotsahats]

Love the hats, gentlemen! It's really windy in Kansas City today, so I didn't wear the Knox 100--I didn't want to even take the chance it would blow off--so I went with an early 40s Whippet:

It was a good day, if on the long side!

Hatguy1 I see why you feel comfy in that one... You OWN that look, man!

Many thanks, sir.

 

[ManofKent]

g.d. - that Stetson looks great

Hatguy1 - Very nice

Lotsahats - nice whippet

 

[HamilcarBarca3]

Great hats today, man! I wore this hat a while back when it was cold, forgot to post the picture but here it is...

A white long-hair hat by a Jeff The Hatter.

 

[hatsRme]

Great look, Hamilcar! Fuzzy, Wuzzhe!! Great lid...

Seemed like a Mohave Monday to me. My VS Mohave...

[Orangegrad]

Charlie - is the Mohave dress weight or a light weight felt? Looks quite light. Nice contrast with the dark ribbon.

It's Mallory Monday.
