What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Orangegrad]

Hi Charlie - nice VS. You and I have similar tastes in sport coats (I have one much like yours - but I didn't get the memo we were wearing them today). Nice touch with the topcoat.

And it's cold here in Cleveland too. I almost never go to the mall. I do all my shopping online. In fact, the new watch arrived from Long Island yesterday, is keeping great time, but I don't have the tools to re-size the band. So it was a quick trip out to the mall as it first opened to have the band re-sized. This will be my last trip to the mall until well after the holidays.

Wearing an early '50s Borso.

On this cold and breezy afternoon, (but sunny), from Central Ohio, I'm sporting another of my Stetson ORs and wearing a Carhart coat! It's cold here!

I have too many Silverbelly Open Roads. Gotta do something different with one of them...

What a difference a year makes...this time last year I spent 10 days in the hospital after having an emergency life saving surgery. Three months after, I was back in the hospital again undergoing another surgery. I was 7 days in the hospital for the second one....and I was still wearing a hat!

Great hats all around, gentlemen!

A great anniversary, TJones... first of many I'm sure. Your ribbon replaced TAR looks swell too.

Thanks to all for the good reviews on the old Stetson. :yo:

 

[ManofKent]

Joao - looks good - that should keep the rain off

Alan - lovely looking 'burg. A nice brown Homburg is on my long wants list.

Eric - Looks classy to me.

g.d. - looking good. I don't think I've spotted that bow centre before.

Matt - No problem with wearing such a fine hat again.

Sam - Great to see the beret

Smoothsailor - Brim up works well - great hat

Charlie - you are the master of the swept brim

Andy - Lovely Borso

Aaron - I love the colour of that Knox

TJones - Most importantly that's a great anniversary. Less importantly the new ribbon works well.

Another visit to the beach. This time with a Stetson Vita-Felt Premier Homburg. Cold, windy but beautiful on the Chesapeake Bay today.

Matt
- A day without a hat is like night.

 

[ManofKent]

Matt a fine looking homburg.

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

Relatively mild today. First wearing of a Borsalino Alessandria I picked up from RMR Hats - 'vintage' but relatively modern, probably one of the last hats out of the old factory:

New Stetson Royal Deluxe. Bitter cold in the northeast and very windy. So gusty that, for only the second time in my life, the hat blew off my head! Had me wishing the Strat had a wind trolley.

Wearing my new to me vintage Open Road. No clue when it was made any ideas?

 

[DJH]

Nice looking Stetsons, Tommy & Teach.

Super windy here (and bloody cold) today - the only hat I thought would stay on my head was my low profile Black Sheep Hatworks cap

Maybe this will help, a link to dating a Stetson by the liner...(btw, I like the sweater / OR combo).
Alan, Richard, thanks guys for the comments.

From what I can tell, they put plastic liner in the 50's, but the "last drop" logo could be 70's.

Not to requote the three photos yet again... it looks very much like a later era hat made in Australia for Stetson under license that is for sale on eBay.

 

[Historyteach24]

Lol yep. It doesn't fit we'll enough to keep

 

[g.durand]

Thanks to all for the recent compliments. Great hats all around today, gents.

Wearing the latest VS this afternoon, a charcoal gray Stratoliner clone.

 

[bowlerman]

Bunches of beauties!

HRME, I just love that Mojave VS.

mmbarnes-- GREAT homburg!

G. Durand, most excellent VS Strat clone. That piece of charcoal oughtta burn for a long time!

Richard, the borso is super nice too. The higher, more angular flange really works!

 

[ManofKent]

Nice looking Stetson Tommy

HistoryTeach - relatively recent I think, but looks good whatever the age.

David - fine looking cap. Will the 'tache survive December?

g.d. - Art has done a wonderful job with that Strat clone.

Thanks Jeff - my first Borso, and I can see why people love the felt.

 

[DJH]

Bloody freezing this morning. BSHW in Eggplant kept me warm though.

Richard - I'm expecting the Mo to be gone on December First, but you never know.
