What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[GregNYC]

I love this thread!! BTW, are repeat hats allowed? I'm out of hats, having photographed them all. I wear a hat every day, so are new photos allowed of the same old hats I posted x days earlier? (I might get an Optimo-style Panama this week).

I like the look of the one you have on.

You're looking very sharp Lt.
Another great big ole hat Joao and very cool.
Sweet panama Greg. You can post repeats, we just like to look at hats.

Looking good as usual fellas. A rare outing for my stingy Cavanagh milan

They say you can't be too rich or too stingy, Mike. :eusa_clap

Greg, keep us posted. Are you in Queens?

Joao... massive hat. I'd wear that one creaseless, but that's just me.

Thanks for the appreciation and identification of my elm sphinx caterpillar. You might enjoy the traffic jam it created on its walk:

Today I spent some quality time with a lovely montecristi that I recently acquired from another Fedora Lounge member.

It was sold from a store in Habana.

 

[GregNYC]

Wow!!!

Lots of good Mexican restaurants there now, maybe more towards Corona.

I also saw a very interesting Mexican sombrero shop on Roosevelt Ave. Stacks and stacks of Western hats with curled brims. Mostly straw. I should go visit sometime!

Yes, you are allowed to repeat. I keep repeating some.

Thank you. I like it too.

I thought that but ended keeping it creased. The Gus crease fits this massive crown so well.

I was thinking about getting a brim stretcher and making it wider!

Reminds me of being told to get a bag of "choker holes" as a young logger. Bet Joao would like one of those brim stretchers...

That Montecristi is beautiful Alan!

That Montecristi is beautiful Alan!

And deserving of your time!

Thanks for the comments... I'm happy to be able to wear this nice panama.

Mexican, or Columbian? I once read that Jackson Heights was the second largest Columbian city in the world after Bogota. It has certainly become more diversified since my time there... still a great neighborhood.

My vote for favorite! I dig the super stingy milans! I dig the Knitters too.

The Ray-Ban Clubmasters are great with it. I really like good stingies, and this one exudes class. I see tons of $19 stingies and street-vendor Trilbies here in NYC. I think "Where's the taste?" But when I see one like this, I have hope again!
