What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Willebe]

Grilling some yard bird and some veggies with the Balmoral. I have come to enjoy this hat as it is the only straw I have. Feels good on the head and looks good to boot. I am going to keep an eye out of one of those OR hemps some of you have been sporting. Home made peach pies for dessert.

That is a beauty Greg. Great color. Any idea how old it is? I see the tip design is quite a bit different than on mine. I wonder if that was model related or year of manufacture related? Anyway, great looking hat you have there.

Thanks, Michael. No idea on age but I'd guess the earliest would be late 50's, maybe, but probably the 60's since they were obviously trying to cash in on the OR style. It has a glued in liner and a 3" brim that's stiff enough to make my Stetson 100 seem like a soft felt.

That's a beauty of a Wormser you recently scored. One of the best I've seen. I know it's been asked, and if I missed it I apologize. Did you say where you found that one?

Is it more of a western weight felt? I wouldn't call the brim on mine stiff, but I wouldn't call it floppy either. A lot of snap in it when you bend it. I got mine on the Goodwill auction site. They don't show up very often.

Thanks,
Michael

Thank you, sir. I've sure been enjoying the blue-riginals you've been posting. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! I've been busy working on home upgrades lately but had some time to stretch a new blank just yesterday.

But man, that Wormser you've got just makes for a beautifully sharp portrait.

I wore my bluegrass green Camp Draft yesterday but forgot to post the picture.

I've been playing with the crease on my Gannon lately, mostly varying the side dents to look more interesting:

But sometimes I change the crease up to a deeper, more 1930s style, which I would call a six-point diamond:

I can't decide which I like better, but I guess I don't have to. Michael Gannon makes good hats that can change at one's whim.

You are ROCKIN' it, my friend! The Gannon looks totally excellent in every variation. Great lid!!

Resolut Homburger Hutfabrik "Strand" probably mid 1950s. This one arrived about a week ago but just took photos wearing it.

Amazing!! The lines are just incredible, Steve.

..... Hmm, wonder how carbon fiber would work for a hat?

I have one. It isnt as snazzy as Al's, and not much fun to wear, but there's been a couple times I was glad I had it on.

The Dobbs milan on the right is what I've been sporting this afternoon. Much better suited to a hot summer day.

I did not wear a hat to my business trip to Milan, so making up for it back in cloudy and cooler England by wearing my Borsalino QS.

Nice! Is that it's true color? Looks like a very light blue, love it.

I am liking that color more and more lately. Don't have a Akubra, yet.

I agree that Gannons are a super hat. You are having fun massaging that beauty, excellent results!

Nice photo, it shows off the smooth look of that felt.

Love that liner on the Waverly. Is it embroidered? Looking sharp as usual Jim!

Off to the dentist this morning in the Stato-Knox. Super felt weather this week, cool and comfortable. Everyone is looking great today!
