What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Bigger Don]

I've heard of training bras but never training brims!

I considered the two twill hats I got this summer to be my "training hats".

Thanks for the kind words, 40. Right back atcha! I would love to find any vita-felt in my size

It may not be in perfect condition but it's such a stunning hat, such an awesome piece of history it just doesn't matter

Now that I've gotten my Saturday morning entertaining myself out of my system I've changed into what I actually going to wear out in public today.

Happy Saturday to all.

After some lengthy, patient and bizarre exercises involving a hat stretcher, containers of water, towels, boxes and a heating pad I think that the 1940s teal Dobbs Game Bird may finally be coming to terms that with all of its original parts it WILL be a 7 1/4 and not a 7.

This one is the brother of the green Dobbs I wore a couple of days ago. I sent some pics of that one in action to the gentleman who sold them to me from his father's estate. It was touching to read how happy he was that the hat his father treasured lives on as a small part of his legacy.

I apologize in advance for the number of shots (probably more suited for the Dobbs thread), but as I often do, I love the way the different light plays on the hat.

I hope that each of you has a great day.

Be well... Be kind... Have fun!

Love the hat, overall, but the felt is stunning!

I know what you mean. I like hats that show their age and history. This one looks worse in a photo than it actually is. It has a disintegrating sweatband that worries me a bit

SatORday? A little voice in my head told me it was a good day for this Dalton clone.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Another want for my list! Love the contrast with the lighter color ribbon. Is that a very light gray?

 

[Bob Roberts]

Thx. Yes Red. Steel Grey.

Wow! That's a beauty, Harv. How tall is that crown? Looks great!

I'm not going to repeat what my reaction was...

And that backdrop is stunning.

Great hats guys! I'm goving my Whippet a rest. The lining has a stain from my sweat. It was mint! Not anymore So I decided to sweezed my head into my old JJ Hat Center hat. It's tight but I think it's a doable.

 

[BobHufford]

The O'Farrell I could afford...

Charlie - not a fan of the thin ribbons huh???
That hat is OUTSTANDING my friend!!!!

Where did you land this rare gem?

Hey, thanks, Bill! I've had this one (and its original box) for about three years, now. I definitely baby it, only wear it to temple on Saturdays. Low mileage!!
