What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Kuki]

G. A. Dunn & Co. "Austrian" Velour made by TONAK probably late 1940s early 1950s and a gift from Daniele. Really fantastic light weight Velour in a brilliant light absorbing brown.

G. A. Dunn & Co. partnership went back to at least the 1930s when Tonak was J. Hückel´s Söhne (JHS). Here is Tonak or JHS Dunn & Co. liner dye I found back in the Summer of 2015.

Here is a fantastic G. A. Dunn & Co. "Austrian" Zephyr Seal Velour made by TONAK that Josh found a while ago.

Here is a 1930s G. A. Dunn & Co. Austrian Velour made by J. Hückel´s Söhne (was nationalized as Tonak after WWII) that Justin found a while ago.

Great hat and tie!!

Ten degrees here, so balmy compared to Eric. I'm wearing my Pilgrim, but it ain't enough hat.

Guess which I prefer.

Many fine hats showing up here today.

Better with coat, but the cardigan is lovely. You sure know how to pose with style. Are all these clothes you've had for years or all newly bought I wonder?

Out and about early, my last full day in a sling (although I'll probably get myself in another one somehow...)

VS Mohave!

Beauriful hat, love the contrasting colours, and gorgeous bow!

C&K always had some of the most stylish and artistically striking ads...

Neato!

And here's a product of my own oddball jackassery just because...

A very merry Thursday to all!

Great hat, love the ads and your superimposed composition!

I have great compassion for your position. Spent a number of years caring for my elderly mother. It was hard and draining. Take care of yourself cuz unless you do you will not be of much use as a caregiver to anyone.

Thank you, I appreciate it. As you know it's easier said than done, but I do try!

It is our pleasure and privilege, ma'am.

Thank you!

Thanks Kuki. Definitely better with the coat. I do like that cardigan very much though. Very nearly all of my clothes are new to me in the last year or so. Basically since I lost a lot of weight. About a year before I started my diet I had given up on ever fitting into any of my old small clothes so I got rid of them all. Ha ha. I could say bad timing on my part, but acquiring the new wardrobe has been fun. And I use the word new loosely as virtually all of it is from the thrift store.

Your hat today is really nice. I also wanted to mention that I can empathize with your situation with your Mother. After my Grandmother died I moved back to my home area and took care of my Grandfather for a couple of years. It can be a task.

Nice Pimbell!

Treated the Cedar Brown CD to a nice snowstorm today

Cedar Brown. Sounds like a contemporary country act.

Sorry about the slightly wonky wind trolley, Anthony (that Strat looks spectacular, BTW).

Cedar Brown...a new wood-flavored hipster microbrew?
Nice lid.

Lock & Co again:

Love that brim up look. Maybe need to start a brim up thread!

Two hat day! Woohoo! Courtesy of my man, Moon - Cedar Brown Campdraft, Heritage Grade!

Thanks, man (bows)

Okay, so it didn't find a home with Moon, but on you it surely is a DAMN FINE LOOKING HAT! So great that it worked out this way.

 

[moehawk]

Ha! No restraint required. I don't watch the show...

You should. Dexter is one of the best series I've seen in a while. It's on Netflix.

Thx for the tip Moe. I don't have a TV. I probably could get Netflix on my phone but don't kno when I could watch it cuz I'm always here on The Lounge...

I woodn't. Get planked on that stuff and it's knot the hangover that gets you the next day, it's the splinters...

It's one of those shows you'd need a TV for. Plus, you wouldn't want to 'cut' into your FL time.

Today...

And the "return" of the BIG hat

Lol. Right! I start my day with Esther and Joao and usually end it with Zombie.

Had to wait til the end of the day to post this, busy day. In solidarity with the stellar Derby sported by Matt this morning, I switched to my 1930s Stetson Derby. I have named it the "Kerr Derby" after William Jasper Kerr, President of Oregon State in the early 20th century. We have some great images of derby wearing OAC Faculty. Topcoat is from the wife this Christmas, just in time for 20 degrees for the next few days.

 

[Redfokker]

Tons of fresh snow. Temperature 12 degrees. Radio says freeways are clogged with accidents and slide offs. Trains delayed. On the other hand, what a great day for a modern Stetsonian!

Love the Stetson. Those ear muffs are probably a good idea when those trains go whooshing by!

 

[Redfokker]

Cold today, dropping to 18F tonight. Cold for this area anyway.

MMBarnes and BlueAZNmonkey keep beating the Homburg drum so I relented and went with my only Homburg, a Cavanagh in 7-3/8 LO that fits me perfectly... which is rare for an off-the-shelf hat and my egghead. Thanks again to NewJack for giving me the opportunity to snag this beautiful lid.

You clean up real nice Doug! Nice pinch!

 

[Redfokker]

Your wish is my command.

The fluorescent lighting in the last photo washes out the color. The others more accurately represent it. The first is the best, though.

It's not just wool, it's "Super 120" wool.

Groovy. View attachment 64364 View attachment 64365 View attachment 64366 View attachment 64367

Love Love! A real statement garment, should go with everything.

Flagship this morning
View attachment 64369

Such a great logo! I notice the aircraft has military US Army Airforce (early without bars) roundels with stars. This is interesting for a hat supposedly depicting a civilian airliner, or is it?
