What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Me and Regis are feeling saintly today.

I recently did something like this with my last six months worth of hat posts:

I'm afraid my wife will be looking over my shoulder and see how many hats I really have. This is cool Justin.

Blessed be Staint Regis. I wonder if it is a place or a real saint?

Fashion Frank once posted a message stating that he had never seen a hat he didn't like, I'm inclined to agree with him because the hats in this thread are truly amazing. Makes my day just to see the latest offerings.
Esther tells me that my new hat is finished, just awaiting a sweat band, that she hopes will come from her supplier soon. Then I can pose in my new straw with chocolate head band & chocolate brown trousers.

In the meantime my versatile Biltmore is topping off a sports blazer striped shirt with white collar & cuffs, teamed up with a neck tie depicting cancan scenes by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and what you can't see are, airforce blue trousers and blue & white spectator shoes.

I'm seriously tempted to buy a blue straw hat to wear with the above ensemble, I keep returning to the page. It's because the hat has that blue/grey mix that goes so well with the airforce blue trousers. This hobby is both expensive and addictive.

Spiffy, as ever! I think a blue grey color would be totally RAF!

What a gent you are, thank you.
That query about Saint Regis, there's a St. Regis resort on the Indian Ocean Island of Mauritius.
Regis is a Latin word meaning: "Of the king." Rex being Latin for king. In the UK we have a seaside town called Bognor Regis. George V (fifth) was sent there by his medical advisors. The town, previously known as Bognor, earned the suffix Regis in recognition of their duty to King George.

Killer Bob, love that color. Is it lined?

Sigh ... I'll go through this one more time.

Edit: Oh, wait -- did you mean Killer Bob (as in Bob from Black Sheep?)

Joined at the hip, I swear.
Do you two share hats?

Joined at the hip, I swear.
Do you two share hats?

If we were joined at the hip my feet would be about three inches off the ground.

We do share a hat size (almost) and share tips on finds back and forth.

Good evening. Back from a special evening out. I was the best hatted person this evening. (Truth be told, I was the only hatted person this evening.) Lightweight Gannon fedora in bone was did the trick in the 88'F and humid weather.

Enjoy your evening folks. Best wishes, Eric -

Both! St. John Regis is a seventeenth century French saint (a Jesuit). Also, the St. Regis hotel in NY is a famous historic hotel. I don't know for sure which one the hat is named after but something tells me it's a reference to the hotel

Wearing my most recent conversion, Resistol Stagecoach. Finished just this morning. This poor hat's been through the rough. It's been through four separate conversions, scores of reshapings, and several ribbon changes. It has a nice tall boxy crown with a 2 5/8 brim and 1 5/8 contrasting ribbon. I'll post more pics in the Conversion Corral later.

It seems to be holding it's age well, just like the wearer. I love that smooth color.

Thanks Red!

Good evening. I have been busy working and unable to keep up with all the postings. I hope that all are well and enjoying the weekend. I am seeing a lot of nice hats on the men and the ladies, and there seems to be some fun conversations as well. Have a great Sunday to you all.

It has a lot of uses, but I don't think I want it in my beard.

I grew up a few miles from the factory. Nice family. The company was sold last year and it appears the new owners are planning to expand the product line, Maybe beard balm IS in your future, Bob.

Haven't decided yet today. Here's yesterday's. Don't worry-- the picture was taken before I finished shaving. The sorry excuse for a moustache is gone!

Great look my friend! Saintly indeed.

Interesting. Thanks, the storehouse of knowledge here on the Lounge is astounding.
