What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Hey everyone!
Knox Tom 'n' Jerry today.

Have a great Sunday!

We went to another vintage event today, it's was a swingtime dance that was held in a large community hall, behind a station, that's on a preserved heritage railway line. At one point in the afternoon, fifty or more of us gathered on one of the station platforms, dressed in 1930's/40's vintage wear. Tourists riding the trains were amazed and nonplussed as to what was going on. And then we were gone, back in the dance hall.
By the end of the night my troublesome hip was giving me serious grief, but a long soak in a hot tub has worked wonders, as always. When we left for the gig I was wearing a stingy brim straw. Tina said that I should put on the hat that Esther made, so despite the heat I did. She was right, as ever, it got so many compliments. I did take the straw in case I got too hot, but it wasn't needed.

Thanks, Eric. We often get to watch spectacular sunsets from our patio (spectacular thunderstorms sometimes too!). The downside is that at this time of year it is to hot to be out there much of the time.

I love Rubens. Either corned beef or pastrami. They're both great.

I loves me a good Rubenesque Reuben. Preferably the corned beef kind, but pastrami will do in a pinch.

I loves me a good Rubenesque Reuben.

Me too, although it's the artist that I prefer. Rubens ladies are noted for their curves, but they also have 'the look' in a fine hat too. The title of this work of art: "The Straw Hat."

You're preaching to the choir here; I find Rubenesque women most attractive.

Well, I 'm bot that Rubenesque.
More like a walking pair of shoulders.

Anyway, the heat has layed down.
It's a felt, a very thin one but a felt none the less.

Nice SWAG!! Looks great!

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

That's a great color on you, Esther. A nice combination with the lens frames and blue top, as well.

'Atsa way to do it! Hattitude!

Checked the mercury at 4AM today - 81F. Scorchin'. With no relief in sight. Oh well, that's why the Good Lord made cold beer. Lightweight Borsalino on a broilin', manic Monday,

I've had this Stetson OR for around a year now. It's too small for me (7). I had every intention of re-sizing it. However, with every hat I "wanted" to re-size, once I got them in my hands I realized how nice they were, I didn't want to turn them into something else.

This one probably sat in the box for most of its life. It's MINT. It not only has the original price tag on the cardboard size tag, but it also has the price sticker from the original store where it was sold, St. Clair's Men's Store in Owatonna, MN. It's still in operation today! It's an easy re-size to 7 1/4; I'm on the fence with it. Size it or sell it?

With all transparency [senator], I've taken a few photos and positioned the hat to "look" like it fits.

Stetson OR. I ended up re-sizing it for myself, per my previous post. The hat is in near flawless condition, it's just gorgeous. To maintain the unique character of the hat, I kept the thin ribbon and I used a blank sweatband (no FPH logo) close to the original color. I also re-used the original paper size / price tag and bow. What do you think??
