What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[suitedcboy]

An honest opinion needed, Yesterdays hat pinched at 4 1/2 crown height. I am 6'5 230 lbs with a lanky build. Do you guys think this crown height is ok or should I go lower if needed. I have ordered a hat from Tim at Cane creek with a 4 1/2 height with a 2 1/2 brim and I am a little worried that it will look too tall on my body. Any advice will be helpful, good and bad. Thanks

That hat looks great on you. I think it works with your face shape. Awesome hat. I'm envious. I need to go dig out my not a Whippet Stetson that looks very much like that hat.

I also have problems assessing crown height , but that looks proportional to me.

My opinion is far from that of a professional, but I think that crown height suits you well. Also, in my amateur opinion, anything shorter than 4-1/4" on a hat with a 2-1/2" brim is too short and throws off the proportions. At your 6'5" height, I think 4-1/2" for the crown height is a good choice.

Real nice looking borsy HB3, especially like the contrasting wind trolley.

Wow, you look the part.

At my wife's High School Reunion.

´My´ gf has both a family reunion and high school one this coming weekend. I am not going since 1. I have the wonderfull excuses of looking after the farm and 2. she prefers the freedom of goin unaccompanied and 3. it has become academic since the friends who count have all decided to meet in private.
Boy are they in for a surprise... From drab colours financial exec career woman to existential wild one with seasonal hair colours; spring to winter = orange - white - purple - grey streak dark brunette :eusa_clap oh and for fun she has a Bettie Page wig

Last summer just about all aunts and uncles came from the Netherlands to the Costa de Sol for a wedding aniversary. All classical summer suits and matching dresses. Shé appeared in a salmon baby doll ´dress´... :eeek:
I nearly wet myself but as the venue was a wonderfully sunny place shaded by a vine covered trellis it actually was the best befitting outfit of all by far.
Yup, a quaint idyllic life it is Caramela*

* I have no right to put her on the web so will pm you a snapshot if you would like.

p.s. nope; have been vetoed; it was >10 kilos ago and that has cost her enough she says. Like it did not cost mé the tattoo artist fee
When I had recovered my powers of speech I had naïvely volunteered this when she said ´for when I have reached my target weight´ when I saw her looking at tattoos.
That developed into another one of those stories which would make an entertaining chapter in a book about my fun here.
The abbreviated version; 18 hours

To cheer me up she has just presented me with her pink suede outback to clean and rejuvinate :eusa_clap

Mike those hats are great, that straw is perfect
Seabass, good looking pic
HB3 Nice church look, Jesus is smiling

I would like to thank all those who commented and critiqued on the crown height. Very helpful, when the hat gets here this week will post pics. Can't wait.

Che, Mike, Lotsa, HB3 - very nice looking hats, gentlemen!

I'm starting off my workweek with this Stetson Bantam. This is about as narrow a brim as I ever wear, consequently, the Bantam doesn't get much use.

 

[yttclothing]

Well , im not wearing it because I have to sell it ;( but I wanted to try it on before I did as I never get hats in my size

Funny story Huertecilla! I like the colors of salmon and pink. They complement my skin tone and I feel great when wearing them. I understand not wanting to be photographed when not at your target weight. I was 25 lbs overweight some years ago and have since slimmed down but I did not want to photographed when I was heavy.

I feel as though I'm the only person in the world without tattoos. I HATE them!

mikespens: both lovely!

Well, it's finally starting to feel a bit like spring here in Cleveland - that is to say it's dreary outside, but not freezing. Nothing really green yet other than the evergreen bushes and trees.

There is plenty of folks who don't like them.
With me it is just as with all things; most is not my taste some is. I think most hats rather awfull per example, yet some awesome.

Btw it is all salmon, pink, purple, and shades of that!!

She asked a befriended artist to make a sort of impressionists representation of poppies

and then she morphed this into a phantasy poppy vine.
This was put freehand, following/accentuating her female form onto the skin.
As such it is the product of two artists integrated with HER body and exquisitely done.

Although the 50 shades of pink art covers a good portion of skin, she can just cover it with a cocktail dress if she wants to.

Great start all you fellas. I am hoping Spring is here Andy!

Champ today.
