What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Frunobulax]

Hello everyone, long time, no posts, but today I broke out the Peters Brothers hemp milan and steamed out the cattleman's crease in favor of a tear drop. I thought I would share.

Great to see you, Michael. You've been missed. Happy to hear you are doing well.

More pics with the @Wesslyn Royal Stetson for the cooler @Bob Roberts morning. Straw in the afternoon at my niece's outdoor 94F rehearsal dinner.

A glorious cool morning here. Low to mid 50s says it's coffee in the yard with hat and jacket. Resistol Cascade

OK, but I still like the showy version with the cape. When you can wear a cape, always wear a cape!

I will definitely miss the cape. But there are two things fundamentally wrong with the old uniform: the chapeux is bollucks and the tuxedo jacket is a two-button, notch lapel. My semiformal jacket rule is one button, shawl or peak lapel. The KofC "tux" feels like a business suit with satin trim. Not my cup of tea. That being said, not sure they went the right direction with this. Makes us younger members look a bit like WWII vet imposters, but I'll make up for that by adding the necessary swagger (and tailoring).

Wow! I haven't been active in a long time with the KofC. That's the national uniform change for the Color Corps?

Yes. Looks like the 4th degree sir knights will all wear this base uniform and the color guard will add the baldric and sword. Details are being released slowly.

Sorry @Bob Roberts . Looks like it's going to be one of those bear-poking kinda days (cooler, but sunny and bright). Gonna wear my 3X OR when I venture outside.

^^^Better get a longer pole. Is that the bear on the farm?

O'Farrell this cool morning.

Good morning. Yesterday evening in the cool low 60'F weather I wore a vtg.Stetson Whippet. Lovely gray felted vintage hat in cool weather!

This morning in the 55'F weather I have been enjoying my vtg. lightweight Playboy.

Unique ribbon treatment and no stitches on edge makes this Playboy unique for my Playboy hat rack.

Best, Eric -

Must be chilly. I can see your wearing fur felt and a jacket.

That looks good on you Bob. A fedora by O'Farrell has got to be hard to find on the secondary market. Any date under the sweat? Have you posted any detail pics anywhere?

This morning, the vintage Ramenzoni

That is one sweet Stetson. What vintage is it? Love the ribbon treatment.

That burgundy tone is stunning! That hat makes a great statement for morning coffee.

I will have to do more research on O'Farrell hats. This one is really nice.

My morning Eric treat, double whammy, both a Whippet and Playboy. Thanks for making my day. That is an interesting bow on the Playboy. Nice color too.

Looking so sharp and dapper. I can't wait for my St. Regis to show up. Probably not many chances to wear it for a couple of months though.

I will give you that it is an unusual color. The crown is fairly pliable for a western so it may show up as a fedora some day. It's moved into straw hat territory here for the rest of the day. But tomorrow we are supposed to have a high in the 60s. I'm contemplating tomorrow's hat already.

Sorry @Bob Roberts . Looks like it's going to be one of those bear-poking kinda days (cooler, but sunny and bright). Gonna wear my 3X OR when I venture outside.

I am going to spend the day pondering...."Is this brave or just stupid?"
