Alan, Thanks! Beautiful Stetson "The Boss Raw Edge"! Nothing like an old Western!

Perry, Thanks! Your modern Stetson "Strat" looks great! I like the relaxed pinch!

Super hats / looks all around!

welcome home!

Thanks Alan. It will be a quick visit, I'm out for vacation next week so probably limited posting. Hope to get my real computer back by then!

Wearing a military-themed baseball cap at Pearl Harbor. I'm on the Arizona Memorial with a Pearl Harbor survivor who happened to be on our military base tour today. He's Bob Berg, who was a boilerman assigned to the U.S.S. Tennessee. He was working on another ship on the morning of December 7th, 1941. The Tennessee's memorial marker is one of the white rectangles in the left rear of the photo. More pics in the Fedoras Afield thread.

Not as old as Alan but one of my oldest hats, this 60's Stetson.

After lunch this Stagecoach John Galt fixed for me.

Good rainy morning from Central Ohio, everyone...Nice collection of lids over the past couple of days.

Steve, the Mayser Spezial is awesome. Very nice. I definitely like that one.

Greg, great picture! Someday, I'd like to visit that memorial....the cap and shirt look really good on you too.

Joao, Wow. You have quite the collection of Stetsons and Resistols. Are organizing a Western Hat Rescue operation?

Lord Stirling, great looking Borso!

I broke out a Carhart and one of my Resistol Stagecoaches this a.m. Don't worry Joao, the only modification I'm making to this one is to take the taper out of the crown. I'm going to keep it Western and I'm not going to cut the brim.

I removed the original braided hat band and made up this campaign style ribbon and bow to replace it with...

TJ - the Stagecoach is a nice looking hat. Good news that you are keeping it as a western.

Cold and rainy here in New Hampshire too - making it very slushy after snow/ice last night. Black Tumwater for me...

Welcome to the Lounge Lord Stirling. I think your hat is younger, but it looks swell on you.

Nice matchup today David!

Enjoying your photos from Hawaii, Greg.

Great to see your efforts in renovation TJones. I am a big fan of that bow style in a thin ribbon... in the upsized dimensions, less so on a man's hat. Just my .02.

happy Saturday, all.

Thanks alan. I agree. I think I'm going to switch that one out for a thinner ribbon of the same style. I don't care much for that wider version either.

David, Keeping it Western should make Joao happy! Can you post a sideview picture of your hat? Very interesting lid.

Daniele, you and the Flechet look like you were made for each other. It looks very good on you.

Here ya go...

TonyB makes very nice hats!

Daniele, that Fletchet suits you just perfectly.

 

[T Jones]

Thanks David. I definitely like the proportions of that hat.

Good Saturday to all, and a Shabbat Shalom!! A soaker here.

A stellar week of headwear! A few comments to catch up a bit...
MetroPD your lid, as always, is regal, and the Rolls (late 20's, I presume?) juxtaposed with the bike makes the perfect backdrop.

Steve the ribbon/bow on your Mayser is sleek, sweet, and neat. Lovely lid!

Perry that Modern Strat looks classic, tilted juuuust right! Have a nice vaca, bring us a souvenir?!

Greg, keep on keeping on, my friend. Super reports from you this week!

Joao your 60's Stetson may not be as old as Alan, but it's a keeper!

Lord Stirling, Welcome to the Lounge, sir! The Borsa's a beauty, looks great on the noggin. I, too think it's a bit younger than the forties. My guess is the fabulous sixties, but I was wrong once before... Thanks for posting, and please don't be a stranger!

Terry the bow you did is just FANTASTIC, man. Keep up the good work!

DJH, That Tummy's terrific! The ribbon really lights it up right!

Daniele the Flechet's funky fuzzy finish is FINE, friend! Love that one, sir!

GDurand your hats are ALL so classic, and perfectly presented. Every one!
