What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatguy1]

Gusting up to 70mph today - Christys' bowler wedged on firmly:

70mph! Yikes!

But, a nice looking bowler there, mate. "Hold onto your hat."

It's close to 20 below here in Chiberia aka AntarcDitka! So only Soviet head gear will do.

My family came over from what is now Ukraine in the first few years of the 20th C. I don't think anyone has visited since. I would like to.

A couple of my daughters came over from there in the early 21st. You should go. I think you would be surprised, both pleasantly and otherwise - depending on where you visited, about what you'd find. And with the current exchange rate it would be a very affordable trip.
I'd suggest waiting for summertime though.

Very Ukraine like temps here today. Very un-Ukraine like earflaps down.

Cool artifact of the Cold War. Bet there's a story behind that headgear.

Brothers from other mothers!!!
I am sure you three have formed a bond that will last a life time.

Well, if they're wearing fedoras when you are through, then we know for sure, you were involved in some covert cloning program

 

[Don.Nicholas]

GREAT hats guys and salute to the army men

 

[Jedwbpm]

I love how as the temp goes down the Fedoras go away and hats with ear cover come out. It was still in the 40's in my part of Connecticut today. Had a stress test at the Cardiologist today after I stopped by Pyramid Shriners new temple for a quick beer.
sporting my Knox 20 from the 50's. Love the felt on this hat it molds like putty.

Jeff, the stress test must have gone OK, I see you're quaffing a beer!

 

[dh66]

That sure helps with stress

Good lookin' hat, Jeff. I like how it goes with the shirt (and it goes with the beer too, now that I take a 2nd look at it).

 

[ManofKent]

Richard, I would like to find a brown derby someday. Have enough black ones to... well, you know how that goes.

I'm still looking for a nice vintage one - this is a modern Christy's wool one I picked up just after they stopped making them, as I realised finding a vintage one in a 60/61 was going to take a long time!

Latoso & Dale - stying warm & stylish

Jeff - hope the cardiologists report was favourable. You're looking good in that hat.

It does have an interesting story. One of my friends served in the Army as an MP in Kosovo. He had to respond to a shooting of a Russian soldier who was shot by a local father when said soldier came requesting his daughter's services. Unfortunately the soldier didn't survive, but my friend kept the hat. I know it's a little morbid, but it's a very warm hat, and it's my size which is why my friend have it to me. I actually had the hat for a couple of years before I found out the real story behind it. I'm surprised that even though the Soviet Union had been dissolved by then, the hat still had the Soviet shield on it.

Love the Knox! Nice! I had a stress test done a few years back too. I check out in good shape. Very healthy heart, until I got the bill from the Cardiologist! Then I had a real heart attack!

 

[DJH]

Yep, that Knox 20 has to be one of your best looks, Jeff.

Stetson 25 for me today

 

[Orangegrad]

Richard - no one rocks a bowler like you and bowlerman
dh66 - good cold weather gear there. Love the hat.
The Justin triplets?
Jeff - you're looking way too comfortable and satisfied for this cold weather. Maybe it's the beer. Or the Knox.
David - very nice, clean Stetson. The plum scarf is a perfect complement to the hat and jacket

Wearing a true vintage 1920s 8-panel that I got from Johnny J.

The thermometer was showing 4 degrees when I headed out today. As noted above, ear covering would have been handy, but my Knox Madison Avenue did a pretty decent job keeping my head warm, along with a fleece scarf and a cashmere top coat for the rest of me.
