What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[FedOregon]

Two days out of the loop and I find 335 new posts?!! You guys keep busy!
Here I am with a Marida hat that my parents bought for me in Harrods some 30 years ago. Nice peachbloom fur felt, but the brim turn was trimmed too close to the stitches and it has come loose in a couple of spots (fixing it is in my to-do list) Still a classic cloche with a beautiful bow.

MrsFed likes that one! Very nice, indeed!

He gave the Lounge up for Lent.

Thank you Bob. I did miss that post I guess.

Sweet Playboy Rick! Loving the mid ribbon.

Thanks Red!

That, or he'll be busy building an ark.

I must have missed something?

40 days hard time.

A great one Steve! I really like the bow and mid ribbon. That brim stitching looks interesting too.

Red, Thank you! The flash really lite up the brim stitching. This one also has very nice binding.

My first attempt at a hat-from-scratch. A Blue Monkey creation with a big blue sawtooth:

The would-have-been brim binding on this gave me serious grief after one too many re-stitches so I just trimmed a quarter inch off the edge and left it raw. The next blank comes tomorrow and I'm not calling it done until its edge is bound.

Nice lids, everyone!

Wow, that lookscseriously good!

Thanks for all of the "feel betters", etc. Slowly, but (hopefully) surely I'm on my way.

Finally... I'm not going to be posting (or checking in) for forty days or so (that's the goal anyway[emoji6]), but i will respond to PMs.

Until next time... Peace, love and all that hippie $#![. I'll miss you all.

So they finally made you take the program, didn't they [emoji34]

I think I need to perc up another pot of coffee.

Nice proportions on the Portis. I really like that angled brim.

Giving up the lounge for Lent? How long does that last?

He should rejoin the flock Easter Sunday. I propose we all dig out our finest Homburgs that day to welcome him home.

Christy's of London

Homburg in Bessemer ( Dark Grey Black Band )

I am really liking their offerings. My panama hat ( showing soon ) is SUPER slick. Quality has been good on all purchases so far.

So I'm away for a day and need to catch up on 10 pages of hats again. If only I'd seen that many hats in the real world in that time...

Thank you for the nice comments. I love your hats, and your thoughtful posts. Have a great day!

Thank you Fed, that's really nice of you. It's great to be amongst people who love hats as much as I do, and always a pleasure to see your hats too. Today's hat will follow later, when I've actually left the house. Hope you have a good day today!

Don't have the time to comment on everyone's amazing hats from the past couple of days, but I wanted to congratulate you on your first home made hat. It looks great, even without the binding. Love the two tone bow, and I actually really like the hat's proportions with the trimmed brim. Even so, I hope the brim binding on your next hat will be a success and I'm looking forward to seeing it

Thanks Celia. This is a wool hat I'm down with wearing. It's an unusual one for sure. These are the first hats I've found in the thrifts for quite awhile, I found a cheapie Italian made straw porkpie yesterday too, but the clothes thrifting has been excellent. Feel free to come and make the rounds with me.

Michael

Yes, I've noticed you've found some great overcoats this winter, the herringbone one you wore yesterday is a real beauty. Reminds me I bought a nice brown herringbone fabric last year with the intention of making a new coat, but it's still in one of the boxes full of unused fabrics.. Should really dig that out.

Went to an old theatre in town the Marx bros performed in regularly back in the 20s. Saw a symphony performed. It was quite nice.

Sounds like a great night!

Been out for a spell. Had a great time catching up. Everyone looking dapper as ever.
Cheers,
H.

Welcome back! You see how worried you got everybody here by disappearing like that

Welcome back @1mach1 . Missed you and hope that all is well with you and yours.

What hat are you wearing today?

You probably won't read this anymore, but I hope you're back in perfect health again soon. You, your hats (and their photoshopped alter egos) and your sense of humour will be sorely missed in the next 40 days

Lovely cloche Cristina, even though you didn't make it yourself. I have the same problem with one of my cloches as well, really should fix that. One of those little jobs that'll only take a few minutes, which is probably why I've kept putting it off...

Thanks bAm!
I found a nice old Pfaff with about 1 inch or less of overhang on the case, but I have yet to get off my lazy butt and find someone to service it and fix one small issue...it won't sew a straight stitch. Even with the selector knob in the straight stitch position it sews just enough of a zigzag to be noticable. Hoping a cleaning and general servicing will take care of that.
The dog unfortunately develped the chewing problem in the rescue shelter before Mom found her. They've tried a bunch of stuff, but I think it's a psych issue. We all love her, scabs, chewed spots and all.

Can I ask which model your machine is? I swear by old Pfaff sewing machines, they really are the best in my opinion. I learnt to sew on my nan's Pfaff 360, worth its weight in gold (and it's one heavy sewing machine!). I hope you manage to get yours fixed, a good clean and oiling might just do the job. Also make sure the tension's just right, these old machines are pretty particular on that, even more so than the modern ones in my experience. Oiling the pre-1970s machines is a bit of a mission, but absolutely necessary to keep them running smoothly.

I'll dig out a Homburg for that.

No cooperation from the camera this morning. Seems a good hat to pair with some German Loden and Filson Mackinaw cloth.
