What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[mmbarnes]

Another week, another WEDDING! Yup, down in Anthony's (@moontheloon) neck of the woods, sort of. This time a black tie affair, NO option! Fine, as long as one of my selection of tuxes fits (they shrink, and grow over time I have found...). My first, and favorite tuxedo has earned its keep, having been worn to several weddings, including my sister-in-law's colossal, three-ringed extravaganza 30 years ago. Where did I get this great garment? It was the very one my father wore to his indoctrination into the Masons in 1946. Yes, I have gotten Dad's father's money's worth out of this one!

Hat: 1952 Stetson St. Regis. Perfect!!

Oh, yes! They also had an attended coat/hat check room. The young gal was so completely clueless about what to do with a hat that when I suggested she slide the ticket behind the ribbon she misunderstood, and attempted to force the F-ing COAT HANGER into it. I saved it, and gently educated her for the next hat under her care.

Hat sweet.
Tux sweeter.
Check girl's reaction sweetest.

Friggin' hilarious.

Hope that you had a badass time to go with your badass style.

Hat check girls are not what they used to be (as if I would know). Great tux and excellent occasion to wear a homburg.

Hey folks!
Many thanks for the likes and kind words on my recent posts.
Rounding out my selection of brown Homburgs (and 'burg-like others) is this freshly re-flanged Borden from the 50's, I believe, maybe earlier.

Good one of the brim

Off to dodge the raindrops!
Have a great day!

That looks like some crown on that one, John. Great hat.

J. Hückel ´s Söhne "Flexible" "Seal Velour" probably 1930s. This one arrived back in June but first time I have worn it. The Austrian Velour is really fantastic (color, finish, hand). Also great form.

That hat certainly deserves some more head-time, Steve. Wonderful hat, as usual.

Stefan, Thanks! It will definitely get some head time now that the temps have dropped.

Great looking Sedeco Homburg on your part!

Thanks Serge. I enjoyed your food photos.

Good to see someone else "Cushion Comfort"able, Michael.

They weren't lying. A very comfortable hat on the head. Your Pilgrim was looking great today.

Thanks all,
Michael

The black and white herringbone looks great with the black homburg. Very stylish.
