What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Chamuco]

I've been thinking of a Peter Bros hemp for a while. You've made my trigger finger real itchy. Really like the color.

It's a beautiful hat Bill, it really is, I have a cream and a black too, and this is much nicer

Thanks moon! I feel special when I wear it.

You're flyin' high today, Moe! Great style in that Flagship!

Thanks Fed!
I will ignore the obvious weed reeference to be made...

 

[moehawk]

That's a dime piece, moe. One of my faves of yours.

Sorry about your Giants yesterday. They shoulda won that game.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks Fruno! It's a very easy to like hat!
I'd rather they lose the first game like that than the last, if ya knowwhutimean. At least Paul Bunyan (aka Madison Bumgarner) is swinging the lumber well.

Your penchant for prints is practically perfect...!!!

The Prince of prints?
And thanks!

Here's that rainy day. Again. And the Open Road beckons again.

Good morning, Before the sun rose I was heading on my commute in a Cordova Cap (Fox wool).

Back home for a dog walk in a vtg. Stetson. The hat box arrived mid week and I finally had an opportunity to open the box and see the hat. This vintage Stetson is a milk chocolate brown felt.

Thick but very clay-like in its ability to flex and take shape. The mid-ribbon shows patina, but is a wonderful mid-ribbon. Wind cord intact and works.

When flipped over the inside liner shows the lineage - Royal De Luxe Stetson. The embroidery in the liner is gorgeous although shows some age. The leather sweat is in excellent shape. No issues with wearing this hat from the leather sweat.

The binding is a heavy ribbon sewn on the edge. The top and bottom are equal distant from the edge. The excellent stitching is apparent in the attached picture. The edge of the hat feels weighted and easily snaps down. The brim is flanged for a deep snap.

The mystery is what model of hat in the vintage Stetson line-up could this hat be. No labels remain in the hat. The sweat is not embossed with anything other than "Royal De Luxe Stetson" and the seller, "Miller's Merchantile, Ridgeway, Penn."

This mystery model vtg. Stetson is a marvelous hat. I will steam and shape it later this week.

Best, Eric -

Wow Eric! Another Royal De Luxe Stetson with no model name, such a mystery. It seems they made so many that they just used this designation on various models, some with names (whippet, flagship) some with no model name. My light weight De Luxe has no name either, but it is different from others marked similar. Have to do some Lounge research tonight.

Of course, I had to wear the BSHW refurb'd Royal Stetson again today. What great felt.

Lools just right with that jacket. Love the ribbon color.

Private label Chicagoan made by C&K.

What a finish! The light really has it's way with that beautiful black. Impressive Alan.

A bright, sunny day makes my navy hat look almost black [emoji15]

Good to see you Adrian. Great looking snap on that Dobbs. Are you involved with a production? I feel your pain...

So it is official, straw hat season,

Peter's Bros brown hemp

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I like the color of this one my friend. How does that hemp feel? Is it a softer or stiff straw? Love the brim width.

 

[Redfokker]

Giddy up! Feelin just like a "Dandy" in my Stetson 4X Open Road (western style) "Cowboy" hat.

You look good in that style. Dandy or not, cool hat.

It's stiffy, has been getting softer, anyway it's a nice hat, If I want soft I grab a Panama !!

Still bringin' it Bud...

Thanks Emil. The week of three pieces and hats was fun. Need to do that more often

How do you spell LAPEL... S-U-P-E-R...

Make no mistake about it, them's big. Ha ha. I saw that Brad Whitney did the costumes for Play Misty For Me. I'll have to rewatch it one of these nights and see if there is anything familiar there.

Still love the color on that OR. That overcoat is special, soft leather?

I agree about that color Red. I like it better every time I wear it, and I started out liking it a lot the first time I saw it. The coat is a light, soft cowhide I think. I like the way it drapes. To me it plays a lot like a 30s or 40s trench or wool gabardine overcoat.

The seasonal days for black hats are winding down. I felt like being a little dressy so I'm wearing a Scully leather vest over my black tee shirt.

Looking like a Rock Star HJ ! Killer Hat and Beaded Band .
