What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[FedOregon]

Thanks everyone for the recent comments and likes.
Thanks, Fed. You've posted up some great hats and shirts yourself. I've been an avid cowboy boot collector for several years collecting vintage and custom made boots. In fact, I joined this site because of the cowboy boot thread. What a mistake. I've sold off some of my lesser worn boots to buy hats and the hat collection is beginning to rival the boot collection if not surpass it. Yesterday's boots are a smooth ostrich made by Jesse Bogle, a Phoenix, AZ bootmaker who retired in 1997 and died in 2003. I'm fortunate enough to have three pairs of his boots.

Thanks! I better not go to the cowboy boot thread...

I picked up a pair of black Lucchese smooth ostrich Ropers from Goodwill a few weeks ago. I really like them. Certainly not a custom fit, but for less than $100 I thought it was a good deal. I've seen them new for $566 at online retailers and Lucchese lists them at $795. I'm so paranoid when I wear them. I don't want to scuff them up or get a cut on them... I normally wear some Ariat square toe boots that scuff just fine, LOL.

Extreme hatitude here today.

Michael, that's a great looking hat that looks really good on you. You're fortunate to have that stagecoach pin with it.

Great look for you Michael!

Thanks Hatto. And may I say that is a dandy Mallory you are sporting today. I'm liking this autumn weather and being able to wear clothes again.

Thanks Greg. Of my recent acquisitions I would say this one and the Resistol/Norm Thompson are the closest to mint condition. I guess the derby isn't doing to badly for being 120 years old.

You have to treat your boots like your hats. Just wear them. I put a nice layer of mink oil on mine several times a year. I do avoid wearing them in slushy, nasty weather, but if protected with a coating they should do OK. My real special ones like Ostrich I just wear in nice weather.

That's a fantastic ribbon, Johnny.

Thank you kindly, Perry! The shirt is actually a Pendleton bamboo fiber product. Who knew?!

YOU knew, that's who!!

And Jay is back to Knotten again. Kind enough to pass out two "likes" to me this morning, the first was from J.E., and the second was from Knotten. You started with Knotten, and now you're back to Knotten. Well, as usual, a super, SUPER Skyfleet lid today, Jay (or whomever you want to be today)!

I find I can do twice as much with an alter-ego! My other side liked my own stuff, too. (I'm easily amused.)

Tilley's TWC7 Outback. Bag by John Chapan UK. Sunglasses Persol.

Always wanted a Tilley but couldn't vibe well with the safari look. Although I like this one and I needed a durable rain hat. The cool thing about Tilleys is the secret stash pocket.

In my experience, an odd number of dissociative personalities is necessary to settle internal conflicts in a fair and democratic manner.
