What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[moehawk]

I like this one Moe. It has a very interesting shape and ribbon. How old do we think it is? What does it look like on the inside?

Thanks Red!
According to the Professor, the Tiger Special line was sold between 1905 and 1921. The closest I can get in that range is from the manufactuer's stamp on the back of the sweat, which I know was being advertised in The American Hatter in 1915. Alan, who also has a Tiger Special, thinks mine is later in the range. So, I'll say 1915 to 1921.
The hat was in poor shape when I got it, I had to stitch the unreeded sweat back in the best I could. There was no liner. The Keith Bros. thread has pics showing the stamp on the back of the sweat and the factory sticker. I was told by a Lounger that the bow style (big messy bow almost at the back) was popular for just a year or two, but he couldn't remember the year(s).

That is cool! I noticed the different location of the bow, thought it was a back bow at first. The shape of the brim is of interest as it looks a little like the model for my "Olcott" hat. The photo I used was dated around 1912 or 1913. The bow on that hat is kind of big and floppy, but on the side. I should look through my American Hatter again.

The ribbon and bow on it now are my work, trying to retain the flavor of the original, which was rotted and fell apart when I took it off to re-stitch the sweat. I only got a couple of lousy pics of the original (posted in the Keith Bros. thread) to work from. I think the original was about 1/4" wider. It is a pretty unique looking lid!

Two hat day. I wore my slightly silly yet fun and elegant in its own way "blue swirl" for lunch and then I wore my "scribble" to the opening of an exhibition of photos.

Thank you Cristina. Your hats today are definitely in the brilliant wearable art category. They certainly brightened up your neighborhood.

That natural looks so good in the sunlight. Poor pups, when are they going to be paroled?

Thanks Red, they are looking for a good, decent and honest lawyer. I think it will be life in prison before they get one !!

And I am a lawyer myself [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] even when I do engineer work !!

Prachtig Esther. Een heel veelzijdige kleur volgens mij. Ik moet Antwerpen toch weer eens bezoeken. For the few non-Dutch speaking members: beautiful Esther. A very versatile colour I think. I must visit Antwerp again someday.

Most of us aren't that good at English, either.
