What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[H Weinstein]

You've got skills, clearly. That looks scrumptious! Very nice indeed.

Thanks, FedOregon! The Akubra Rough Rider comes with a huge, pre-shaped brim. Ironed it flat, measured it to about 3.2", cut it down, then spent quite a while with the steam kettle getting the brim curl and dip just right. I'd already found the correct basket-weave band at the local western-wear store (also on eBay). It's a nice light (color and weight) hat.

When I see you I wish I had the courage to begin wearing hats when I was your age.

Yes T Rexes used to roam the Earth then

Thanks! I began wearing fedoras at 18... they were mostly wool and didn't survive the elements. Thirteen years later, I'm still happily obsessed =)

Your panama and guayabera combo is tops, today, sir!

Off to the Massachusetts Educational Theatre Guild Gala. This is my FIRST EVER public appearance in a homburg. I still think I look funny in them, but what the heck, gotta be dramatic.

That burg looks totally appropriate on you. Now you need one in every possible color =)

Nice. It's odd taking selfies, at least for me... and there's a process to go through in order to get good pics. I'm still a work in progress and you look fine!

We shared the basic selfie secret just yesterday, and today @Dnewma04 gets called out for his tip top technique. It WORKS!!! Shoot from as high an angle as you are able, Doug.

Now I can't wait to see your WHAYWT photo post tomorrow!

That is a fantastic creation Justin! I love the soft looking finish and that bow is really special. Good on you my friend!

Dude! KILLER lid! Your skills are impressive, J!

Thanks so much, guys!

Thanks Rodolfo. That is a great looking Panama you're wearing today. I'm hoping for a few more weeks of felt weather here before the straw season kicks in.

Unusual brand, and a great looking refurb. Love the ribbon.

Headed to the farm in my San Diego Zoo hat. Couldn't remove the glue spot to my satisfaction so I covered it with a Future Farmers of America pin.

Looking good, everyone!
First real hot day of the year. Lightweight Stetson dons my head.

I need a shave and a haircut.

Great look Wes. How lightweight is that Stetson? I have one similar that is a whisper of a hat, but did not have a model name, just Royale Deluxe. Does this one have an interesting name?

No name, just Stetson Sovereign. It's lined, but if it werent, it'd be a feather.

Another unique moe-del from Vanzina! What a cool hat!

Thanks Fed!

 

[moehawk]

Sure like the finish on that one Moe. The brim is no slouch either.

Thanks Red! It has a very nice feel to it, and the stitched brim is the bee's knees!

As I was listening to Miles Davis this morning
and feeling Jazzy, I reached for my Dobbs in chocolate brown that I creased myself.

Dunno how you did that crease, but I like it!

 

[Michael R.]

That was a crease that was big in the hood during the Super Fly and Shaft time of the 70s , fancy folding the front of the crease in on itself . I forget what it was called .

Semi random question, not 100% sure this question belong here. But any size 7s interested in a Mallory Dallas circa late 40s early 50s?
It's not yet my hat so posting in the classifieds seems like false advertising.

Does anyone else enjoy their garden, this rhododendron bush always flowers early, but it's so welcoming and cheery. Furthermore we have a pair of bluetits raising a family in it this year. They are a noisy lot our avian new neighbours.

There are so many hat threads, but as this is the most popular, I must let you in on my new hat. It's a cream straw with a chocolate hatband, and it's still at the construction stage. The best part though, was being given a choice of colour for the hat. I wasn't quite sure what kashmir velour looked like, so my milliner sent me a picture of her model wearing a hat in kashmir velour, what do you guys think of it?
