What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatsRme]

Thank you, Alan!

Also wanted to congratulate Mark (S4C) on the Cavanagh Find!!! That looks to be very similar to the one I stumbled upon two weeks ago. Block #301, or 302, Mark?

Miami, that's fantastic - not only are they great photos, but as you teach the value of reading, you also imprint the imagery of a fine piece of headgear!

Casual and cool day perfect for this fedora converted/rehabed from a Stetson Catera

Welcome aboard, Rogerstg. Nicely done conversion, and you're really rockin' the look, sir! We may be in for straw weather today, too.

Thanks, and I'm thinking Sunday for straw

Fond feelings for those last felt days of spring. <sigh>

I'm going to mist them in the dog days of summer.

Block #301, or 302, Mark?

No luck on finding any notes for the block on or behind the sweat. Grease pencil indicated a size 7, but no other markings were present.

Nothing under the liner either? Oh well, still a winner!

The liner is tacked down and I didn't want to risk popping the thread. Anyway, it seems to be adjusting to the soft diamond crease that I eased into it this morning. Might take a bit more steam to adjust it a bit, but I'm happy with it.

Fruno-I could look at that Akubra everyday and not tire of it
S4C-What a glorious find. Love the frayed ribbon and Cavanagh edge.
Case-The CRM is a favorite along with the whole outfit! I especially like the retro Denim jacket with the Converse
Miami-Just Wow! What a great pic. I think I'd make a 20' by 30' of that and hang it on the wall.
Greg-always impeccable style even in casual mode
hRme-Fantastic crease in that Panama! Perfect summer time fair
Roger-Excellent conversion, great to see you here
Alan-words can not express the sublime beauty of that Borsalino Misto


Royal Stetson summer beater
More Stratoliner than Open Road but not quite either. Reminds me of Java's Royal Deluxe a little

Thanks Moon, It shaped up well but it's got ground in dirt and spots that are never coming out. Fine with me, it's still vintage Stetson quality, I got it cheap and I'll wear it on the hottest most humid days this summer and save the nicer hats for cooler days.

I love hats like that

back in the day when men were men and wore hats .... the average guy had one or two hats .... and they wore them ... wore them into the ground

today so many of us baby these things .... myself included

there is a peace of mind when wearing these "beater" hats that I wish I had with every hat I own.... but I don't

it makes me long for the days of old .... my grandfathers days.... when you had a hat and you wore it

beautiful slice... beater or not

Gents,

Thanks for the compliments, but they must go to the Photo teacher for the shots, and to JC Pennys Marathon hats for the lid.

Alan - I LOVE the Borsalino Misto. I had one once and it was great. A very cool hat indeed.
hatsRme - great straw. Tis the season!

I agree, but those are P.F. Flyers, not Converse (not that it matters). Regardless, the classics never go out of style.

S4C, I saw a Knox with a Cavanaugh Edge in an antique store recently, but I passed on it as the brim was a bit too stingy. But it fit my 7 3/8 head and was under $30. I keep wondering if I made a mistake. It's probably still there. Hmmm... Yours looks great.

Tommy, my Royal Deluxe has cleaned up so nicely, is so versatile, and has such nice felt that I have officially declared it my favorite hat.

We're beaching it this weekend for the holiday. Still a bit chilly, so I brought furs and straws along. This is my Trimble, which pulls down nice and comfortably snug in the face of the ocean breeze.

Looking good Dave........you are pretty good at bringing them back to life....:eusa_clap

Very nice. That's what I'm on the lookout for now, a light colored fedora for summer.
