What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Redfokker]

That’s a great question Mike

I personally have a whippet, strat, eagle, ThreeWay, Stetsonian, Playboy all in Vita... I’ve seen turf club and many others.. so I assume that most if not all of the name models from that short period were made in Vita felt

Cool, I must read up on the Vita Felt threads...one of my bucket list series of hats. Thanks Ant.

Hi all and happy Thanksgiving. We had to do it on Saturday (my wife’s American) as it’s not a holiday in the UK. Stetson Mode Edge.

Good to see you Christophe! Nice lines on that Stetson. And since we still have turkey in our fridge, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Pre 60's vintage.

But we don't see Eakle hats everywhere. Why? Love that logo, and shark's gill to die for. I enjoyed this one Bob.

Grocery store in a VS Executive (bluesmke felt).



Hardware store and liquor store in a Gannon (granite felt).

Grilling lunch in a Monsavais cap. Cheers!

Best, Eric -

What a fantastic parade of hats Eric. I dig your style.

Was out playing with my sister and BIL today. Ran across a new suit, but same old, same old Stetson Royal Deluxe hat is one top with it

I still love the same old Stetson. I thought you just found a great jacket, scrolling down...Wow! That is a statement, looks warm.

Just finished up on this one yesterday. This was a prior conversion I did on a black Resistol Western that Anthony gifted to me. I didn't care much for the block that I first used, so I took it apart again and re-did it on a different block, one that was much straighter sided. This second blocking gave me a taller and open crown shape that I like much better now than before. Still, a black hat, though. I'm not a big fan of black hats. Not sure if the black color suits me. Although, I like the new crown shape much better. The thin ribbon I have on it isn't attached. I'm looking for a black 3/8 ribbon to put on it for an OR style bow and ribbon work. I'll have more pics in the conversion corral....

I like it. Great crown shape and kind of a less formal look to a black fedora. Nice Terry!

 

[Redfokker]

Thank you! Love that navy Gannon. What's the open crown height?


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

I had Mike Gannon go all the way up to 6". It took a little getting used to. Kept stopping to look at myself in mirrors, store windows, and reflections on the ground. You really have to wear this one.

Stetson 3X selv-edge as the usual, unusual Christmas decorations continue at casa de Bama.

Great images Greg, the Selv-edge looks good on you. Hello Kitty Christmas?

 

[Redfokker]

Oh yeah.

I don't know much of a story about the suit. It came from an estate of a guy that had a lot of custom suits, but there are no labels in this one at all. The tweed is very heavy and woven with large yarns.

I was telling my sister today that my holy grail of suits were the large fleck tweeds that you see in the movies from the 30s, but I never see them. And then we go to the vintage store and this one is there. Ha ha. I need to get her to visit more often.

Thanks all,
Michael

Love all the colors in that tweed. It is bold and substantial. Nice detail shot, yummy.

Sunny Monday in the train, under the recent Borsalino.

Very handsome Borsalino Senshu-san. もう一度お会いできてよかったです。

Hey all!
Late post, been raining all day.
This Mossant that I just finished fixing gets the rain test.

Have a great day!

Nice and smooth looking felt. My old Mossant does not have its logo remaining. I saved this image for future reference. Thanks.

Went a little formal for church this morning, I was liturgist and had to be in front of everybody. Navy Gannon with it's final (yeah right...) crease. Got some nice "looks" at the grocery store afterward. I think the crown is kind of imposing for the Great Unwashed.

I like imposing crowns.

Yeah, I still love it too. Very light and comfy hat.

Me too. The texture and drape are great too.

To me it has that look of the suits in the movies from the '30s to the early '50s. I'm a happy camper.

That was a very clean look you had going on for church today. Very tailored look.

Thanks,
Michael
