What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Frunobulax]

The Dobbs and Borso box have inserts but none in the strats

This was in one strat box though ... pretty cool

I'd run 26.2 miles for a hat like that.

And the coat... the appropriate words cannot be spoken in polite company.

A repeat for this Saturday as I continue to break in this No. 1 quality Stetson to my head.

That's a great hat, I like the way the center dent dips down in front, and the perfect brim. Great boots too, love the red stitching.

Matt, thank you.

Another Sunday. Another dog walk before church. Very windy so the Dobbs stingy won out. Have a lovely day, gents.

Very nice sports coat and Ascott with that Dobbs, Bjorn. What color is the hat? It appears to be maroon on my computer.

I don't know if I would go quite that far. Mostly because I would be dead after the first mile.

Thanks,

Good evening. This afternoon I was completing some chores in a vtg. Adam.

The nearly 3 inch brim protected me from the blowing leaves and dust being thrown up from cleaning the corners of the yard.

Unique edge treatment.

You two look great!

Love that Champ Doug. A real winner there.

Thanks, Michael. I love your Marathon. A real stunner!

This is a stunning Adam for sure. The brim treatment and the rusty brown color make this one of my favorites. Great one Eric.

Thaks, Red. I am quite pleased it. Its comfortable and appears to be well made. I'll definitely wear it often this season.

Last 3 days Whippet.

Very impressive! Beautiful lines.

Happy Sunday. I'm under another Adam today as I head off to mass under THE POLAR.

Ever since I have had this hat, I have been trying to find an ad for it to nail down its birthday. In the '30s and '40s Adam would sell a Hat of the Month. Each was given a name.

After years of searching, I think I finally found an ad for this one. I could find only one Hat of the Month ad offering a heathered felt hat. It was in November 1942. THE POLAR is not named but the ad mentions several color options. I suspect that THE POLAR was the green offering. I attach the ad.

Have a swell day.

Super Sleuth Matt! Finding an ad for this unique hat is epic! One of my all time favorites on the Lounge.

Another Sunday. Another dog walk before church. Very windy so the Dobbs stingy won out. Have a lovely day, gents.

Sharp Jacket Bjorn! The Dobbs is great with it. Nice pinch.

Vintage Knox Twenty this morning.

Knock out Knox Bill! What color is that ribbon? It seems to change in every pic.

My most recent VS came out this morning.

Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Nothing cleaner than a VS with a tight crease. What brim treatment is on this one?

Brrr! Overcast and chilly for mass this AM.

Next batch of catch up comments. I missed some great hats during the day. Liked em all. I was busy fact checking an article in our OSU Barometer Newspaper I was interviewed for this morning. Student reporters have to use their weekends for putting the paper to bed. They wanted to know about the history of our "Civil War Game" between OSU and the U of O. It is the oldest rivalry on the west coast, running 121 years.

Great color combo with that Great Coat. The later post with the details of this one make me droooooool!

hat hunting in a Stratoliner
they had probably 40 hats... but nothing I thought worth buying unfortunately

But I did score some great boxes

Super finds, pity the hat pickings were not stellar. I am posting a question in a while about a weird Strat box I found on Ebay, the bottom one looks similar.

That is one fancy Knox sir! Love the sweat a whole bunch.

You rock Stefan!! Love everything about your collection.

Thanks Stefan.

A couple of gorgeous hats. It would be a tough choice, but I think you made the right one.

Don't grow up, it's overrated.

Thanks Bob. I think there was a period in the late '30s and early 40s when color was thought of as a good thing in an overcoat.

Thanks D. The coat is a Kuppenheimer and the fabric is one they called Valgora. It's a blend of alpaca, baby mohair and wool. The union tag has a 1939 date so it was made between then and 1949. I suspect pre-war. It's a relatively loosely cut half belt.

Love the back belt and those prominent pockets. The color is money! What a find!

wonderful hats today friends

20s stetson on this beautifully cool day (hat is black, just looks blue from the camera)

Justin, you are the vintage maven! The lines are so Roaring 20s, gangster (not to be confused with "gangsta", stupid use of the word), and that sweat!! They really knew how to make them back then.

Great looking IV Bob. I think the Moonstone is my favorite color that Akubra makes.

Late 40s Champ today. Killer lids, gents!

The Champ is so great Doug. It just screams 40s/50s, all the bells and whistles.

Great image of some happy people, makes me happy too.

That Huckel has such great lines and color. Is the liner fancy too, seems like they really make the innards as nice as the outsides.

 

[Redfokker]

Really late to the part today. Maybe someone will see it in the morning. Doing Deacon duties at church this morning, gave me a chance to dress a little less schlub like. Navy Gannon got some crease tweaking and a much needed brush. Do love this hat, I don't need to "dress" for it, should bring it out more often.
