What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Frunobulax]

I got my free Red Robbin burger a couple weeks ago, the actual B-Day is today... so I'm getting a free lunch with MrsFed, a free dinner at Izzy's buffet and a free ice cream cone at the local Serendipity Ice Cream Parlor!

Now that's livin'! Happy birthday, Doug!

absolutely special ... I'm speechless (rare occasion)

Thanks... this came to me from another lounge member and before that, I believe, from the Johnny Phi auction of NOS hats.

I don't think I could sneak that many past my wife.

Buy her some as well =)

I'm impressed with the nice collection of lids everyone is wearing. I'm envious. Happy Good Friday to all, btw.

Today I'll be wearing one of my more recent Stagecoach conversions in chestnut color...from this morning.

Was this the one that got you all flustered a while back and even spent some time in the trash bin? It looks beautiful now!

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.

I love being in the garden. The wife and I just finished weeding the front and back yards. This year's ample rain season followed by the glorious California heat and sunshine caused quite a bit of overgrowth. We got it under control again, though! Provided the wild birds that nest around my hill don't eat everything before I get a chance to harvest, I should have plenty of basil, artichokes, asparagus, strawberries, figs, grapes, pomegranates, and nectarines this Spring:

Also -- old faithful today: Lock and Co for Brooks Brothers:

That's a beautiful color.

A hat from that other Philadelphia maker. Stratoliner inspired thin ribbon in an unusual mauve/gray with a very deeply scooped flange, fine felt and high quality construction. Union made in the mid 1940s.

This has been a grand slam week for you, Alan. Gorgeous Schoble!

Thanks, Jim! It should be a great weekend, too.

EVERYONE, remember to wear your Homburgs for Easter and to welcome back MMBarnes after his torturous lent!

Passover brings out the best in him, for sure =)

Happy Birthday Doug. Looking good in the Downs and Jacket. Looks like a good shirt and feather match.

Thank you, Michael! I hope you and the rest of this band of hatted brothers enjoy the weekend!

Thanks! ManHatCo is calling me back in a little bit so I can place the next order!

My Silver Belly Campdraft has been a little neglected since I brought home the Bluegrass Green, so I thought I'd give it a little love.

 

[Bob Roberts]

Beautiful lid, Bob. I love the color AND that elegant finish!

Thx. Biltmores "Eleganza" finish shines a bit in the light. It's more pronounced in their darker colors.

Well, @hatsRme Charlie, I tried holding the camera up high but it really scrunches up my jacket, LOL! Wow, these pics really show spots on the black felt. Honestly, it shows spots that aren't even there. I brushed the felt and it looks great, although there are some water spots on the ribbon.

A simple, modern, Stetson Downs for the birthday boy today, wearing a jacket with my new, dark burgundy (Bordeaux??? Syrah??? Touriga Nacional???) birthday shirt from MrsFed. It's the 28th anniversary of my 29th birthday!

Happy Happy!
