What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Wesslyn]

I'll take any 7 1/4 that you find. That is unless they think they are gold and set the daily market price!

I think the only 7 1/4 were super stingies. I'll check back tomorrow though!

No, it's not the same hat on both pictures.

Perfect, just perfect Karl.

Some people graduate Summa Cum Laude, some graduate Magna Cum Laude. I graduated Barely Come Out!

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

It was a big surprise to me too. If I had continued with college in 1980, the outcome would have been dismal. I don't really remember the 1980s.

Thanks! Fun fact, I actually know how to crochet, so I'll be making the little guy or girl one of these =)

I think this would be a great father/son look. Get working on finding a knitter!

Just scooped this Pilgrim up today at an antique shop. Stay cool, folks!

Great score. Looking forward to detail shots. Is is 1950s vintage?

Royal Stetson genuine balibuntal... perhaps a moisture shedding parabuntal?

Stunning. Per SOP.

97 and 44% humidity = heat index of 106. Another straw.

Keeping with the OR style, and straw. It is just you!

After my Pilgrim find, I stopped into my friend's antique store to find she acquired someone's entire hat collection, around 30 to 40 hats. Almost all are in desperate need of TLC, and range in size from 6 3/4 to 7 3/8.
One Stetson Playboy caught my eye, but was sadly 6 3/8. Also an old 30s? size 7 Dobbs bowler.
Anyway, if anyone is looking for something in particular, I might be able to help both my friend and you out!

If there is a Playboy, there must be other pieces that are of that caliber! Yummy.

It's a mishmash. I think I'll head back tomorrow and try to catalogue them.
You're a 7, right?

Generally a good starting point for me.

So, it was an excellent day, then! Great Stagecoaches Joao!

perfect hat. Wow, very nice indeed

Perfect, just perfect

Hah, yes, definitely the brightest star of my small headwear collection.

 

[KarlCrow]

Great look Karl. I like the way they sewed the binding on the brim

thanks, yes it really softens the look.

It's likely late 50s, possibly early 60s.
And the playboy was the nicest, in my opinion. I was very sad it was too small.

My 70s Dobbs I scored from Goodwill has finally arrived. Just over a 4 1/2" crown and 2 1/2" brim. I was pretty pleased. There is some discoloration in spots but overall for a lighter weight felt she is in good shape.

Looks good Jeremy. Good color combo, good proportion.

And congratulations on the upcoming addition to the family.

Sweet Dobbs! Great dimensions for a 70s hat. Does the logo have the Registered Trademark "R"? What does the liner Dobbs logo look like. You look great in this rich brown. Nice brim binding.

 

[Jeremy T Garner]

Looks great on you, too!

Thank you very much Doug! This one is going to help inspire me on my hat from Mike Miller.

Thanks for the congratulations Michael.
The color on this one was much darker than the pictures showed on the website. I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I opened th box.

Thanks Bob! I totally agree. I am going to do that very look with my hat from Mike Miller. It will be heavily inspired by one of @FedOregon. Silverbelly colored Perfectly Simple with an old copper ribbon and double bow with a matched old copper brim binding. I wasn't going to do the matched brim binding at first but this Dobbs has helped to reassure me and change my mind.

Thanks Mike! It has the "R" next to the logo on the sweat so definitely post 1972. My guess was mid to late 70s.
