What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Frunobulax]

Hey all!
Great show of felt today and every day. Except when it's straw of course.
It is a daily struggle to NOT wear this Brent (or it's brother from another department store the Pilgrim) just because it is such a great looking and well made lid. Today I gave in. Sorry other hats on the rack...maybe tomorrow.
Brent Airlite.

Have a great day!

Tonak "Mongol" made for the Soviet Union market.

EXACTLY the color I'm turning, with envy, Steve. We haven't seen this one, have we?

Wow, that is some great color. And the slightly different green of the ribbon works. Great shirt too.

Good choice! I love the look of this Brent offering. It goes well with your sweater.

Great hats one and all today. Thanks for all of the likes and comments on my Stockman.

I dressed up today, just because (I guess to the amusement/delight of fellow bus and metro riders). Must agree with Joao that a wide brim does make an impression.
Thank you for the kind comments to my (much seen) previous hat.

Glad to see you are recovered and back out in the world. Personally I find a wide brim makes an impression on anything I get close to. Or vice versa. Depending on the stiffness of the brim.

Heading out to have a few with a buddy. The Frunoliner is getting to be a regular thing. Like moe, my other hats are getting jealous!

TOTALLY striking, Christina!! Joao does NOT own all the big brims. Super look; lucky for the other commuters!

Really. It took me like 15 seconds, then the coin dropped...

Good to know our big-domed brothers, SD! I'm about your size, (an XLO, actually) and feel exactly the same... it's hard to put real wear onto one of those impossible-to-find vintages. It has taken YEARS to find the ones that I have. I only have about thirty old-timers, and I'm not about to get them gooey!!

NOT vintage, my VS oxblood...

Such a sweet hat Charlie. One of my favourites of yours. Always makes me smile when I see it.

Great looking hat, Steve.

Do you know if Tonak used lower quality felt blends for the USSR market? Just curious about whether there were any implications because they were going there.

Off the top of my head, it seems reasonable that a manufacturer could expect to get less for items marketed in the USSR. Of course, I could be way off base...

Regardless... it's beautiful.

That one's beauty necessitates lots of wear. Fantastic.

How come the Fed IV I bought didn't look like that? It looked like a cheap costume hat and I gave it away.

Sorry you didn't get one you liked. This one was stiff and would only let me do so much. Simple dent and pinches.

Yes, I don't own all the big brims but some of you keep making it that way

Love my (really) wide brims.
