What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Kuki]

And the hat I wore today, a printed fur felt cloche. Simple, no trimming but doesn't really need it!

TONAK (Formely Hückel) Zephyr Seal Velour probably late 1940s early 1950s. Made for the American market and very difficult to photograph!

Every time I see that hat, it looks even better.
Those colors are just extraordinary and go great with your beard.

Weird? What weird?

See my beard?
Ain't it weird?
Don't be skeered!
It's just a beard!

Thanks, yes, dark blue with a raw brim.

Perfectly proportioned, Alan. Thanks for dropping by and classing up the joint. Things got out of hand here early and just kept spiraling out...

...whose fault is that?

Hi everyone, great hats today, and the bowls blew me away too!

Esther I didn't realize at first that you had done a sort of "marqueterie"on the top of the crown. Well done!

Thanks for teaching me a new word!

Esther, I think you could wear a banana on your head and you'd still look awesome... not sure I can say the same about the bowled guys... ;-)

Never before did I realize I had the power to reach into Europe and get people to put bowls on their heads. It's...intoxicating!

Dude, that crease! Wonderful, Steve!

...whose fault is that?

BiggerDon, obviously.

That is some bad-ass hat and the attitude to go with it... I often think that wearing a hat successfully has a lot to do with how confident you feel and a "here I come like it or not" attitude.

Thank you, Kuki, that's how I feel about it, too. I'm thinking you may not know the story behind this hat. Our good FL friend "Chamuco" has a hat like this. Mine is a copy, simply a clone, of his hat... his name is Rodolfo, so I always refer to this hat as "The Rodolfo" (perhaps "El Rodolfo" is more appropriate) in tribute to his vision, design and collaboration with the hatter, Michael Gannon.

I absolutely love this one, is the bash the original one?

Thanks! The hat is stored open crown so this is a one time center crease with side dents (not too forward). Your Fur Felt Cloche is fantastic! Did you make it? I would be interested to know more about the felt too.

Blame game obviously.

Fabulous, Steve. Wow. I'm totally floored with this one.

Thank you! You can actually see it in the first photo. It just sucks up light! Fantastic vintage Tom & Jerry Bowl! Now that is a rigid hat!

 

[FedOregon]

Is the Tom & Jerry available as a pith helmet???

 

[mmbarnes]

BiggerDon, obviously.

Yeah! Bad influencer!

But seriously, Jim... Behave yourself. Folks like me, who are easily led astray, depend upon your good direction and guidance. [emoji6]

Thank you! Your Black Cherry Gannon is superb! I really like how the colors work together.

Don't know no "Harv."

Lovely.

Your creation?

 

[mayserwegener]

Thanks, yes, dark blue with a raw brim.

Alan, What a surprise! I have to say it's special.

 

[EstherWeis]

Nice. Is that a smirk?


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

I believe it is. Thanks

Nice, what colour is it? Looks kind of very dark charcoal-grey-blue-greenish on my screen. Putting that flower wall there was the right decision

It's denim blue velour with purple/lilac ribbon.
And thank you. I love that wall.

We have SMIRK, here folks! I know from smirks, and this is the start. Time to pass the torch...

I learned from the best

Been a while since we've seen that one.
Ms. Lilac today
Smirk? Who's your teacher?

After 1,5 years here I think I picked it up along the way...

Old man winter, I laugh at you.

Nice hat though!

Somehow, I missed my Esther-fix yesterday. I feel better now. You look lovely and that hat...always a joy.

Thank you.

Haha!
You got me there, Sergej!
Well, tomorrow, no t shirt. Or socks. (Sorry Esther [emoji14] )
Good call. Thank you for setting me straight.

Don't come asking for a cough drop!
