What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Samuel]

It's my son's Yishai's birthday. We are celebrating this beautiful Sabbath morning. Yishai is an athlete and took second in wrestling last year in our district. Between him and his brother they have the most wins at their school. I'm wearing my staple aloha shirt and Como borsalino.

On Labor Day Weekend black hats start to get paroled from their summer confinement.

You know I like black hats and that one is no exception. What is it HJ. Like that brim.

Thanks BB! It's a modern hat but in that vintage Western crossover dress style that I have really begun to like. It's Texas Hat CO's 30X El Mejor. It has a nice velour-like touch to the finish but I doubt the 30X means all that much.

Camping in Dorset (southwest England) near the "Jurassic Coast" for my sons 6 birthday as he likes camping and looking for fossils (for limited time span!). Grabbed a Tilley.

Found out there is a hat festival 6 miles away!

By chance, I have my House if Rothshire beater so suitably hatted, off I went.

Everyone wearing various forms of hats, but only a few wearing fedoras of the standard and quality I see here. Perhaps some Loungers were there? Others were pretty far out there.

Found a hat shop.

Had fun exploring a large stock of Akubra, Christy's, Sasquechanna Hat Co. Some nice hats but nothing that had my reaching for my wallet apart from a nice Chrisy's paper boy cap. The thing is, I am better educated by the Lounge so erring towards the vintage. Still, it was fun browsing through hats and lots of first time hat wearers or buyers coming into the shop so good to see more people wearing hats!

Have a great Haturday, haha[emoji3].

MrsFed is home. There was a lot more that happened in Ecuador leading up to her father's death. Turns out he had liver cancer, so that explains the terrible pain he was enduring. That he died without proper pain relief irks me no end. My Dad went through about a week of that before my siblings and I took him to the hospital and got that sorted. That Ramon's son is a doctor and this still happened is a maddening mystery to everyone in the family except his overbearing, bossy wife.

Anyway, enough of that drama. Sandra is exhausted so we are staying in this Labor Day weekend. We are also looking at 4 days of ~100F weather here. Maybe a walk down 3rd Street to look at antiques and get lunch.

We'll picking out straw hats for the next few days...

Joao, I have something out for delivery today I think will meet with your approval.

It all depends on what are you going to do with it.

Well, not that it should be a concern of yours but I've never converted any western of mine.

Great hat, Bob. Beautiful colour. Love the brim stitching.

 

[Bob Roberts]

Like what you've done with that one, Michael. You really should post more often.

I agree on both counts.

Thank you Steur.

Hey all!
A big and shady Borsalino Panama on a bright and blazing holiday weekend.

I keep looking west, hoping for a nice thick blissfully cool NorCal Special fog to roll in as it usually does on these hot spells. No luck so far.
Have a great day!

Excellent Whippet

Looks just right with the brim like that. Im curious... Did you had the same brim issues and finish problem with the ribbon and tacking stitches as Red did?

That's a nice hat, but that looks more like a rabbit hound that you've got there behind you.

I'm becoming a sucker for those brim curls...

Looks like fun. And man do I want that sign.

Kettle curls are the best. Stetson almost suckered me into buying the "Westbound B" with their labor day sale.
