What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[T Jones]

Thanks Terry. Yep, it's a 5.5" open crown.

Your Turkey Creek Stagecoach is spectacular! You have a gift.

I thought that's what it was. Looks real good for a modern Strat.

Thank you, buddy. I appreciate that.

While heavy sleet was falling (and still is falling) I tried on several hats to go with the greatcoat, which proved two things to me. First: it's hard to match a colour precisely. Second: I need more grey hats! None of my hats matched the coat exactly but a few of them came close. The coat leans towards the blue end of the spectrum (looks a bit green on my screen). Borsalino Selenio I wore today was a nice match (a bit darker).
As for the coat: here's a full view of it. No labels whatsoever inside it, but I remember the saleswoman saying it was eastern European (either Russian or Polish production). It was a quick picture and I need to practice my military posture

Now that's what I call a fine looking coat! I would definitely wear that!

Hey all!
Tis the season for green hats!
This Alpenland Trachten that I got a few days ago is quite green. Even has a great seasonal color name...cypress!

It's a mystery as to where in the German speaking world it was made. All there is is a tip sticker and a generic looking factory tag. No stamps on the thin unreeded green sweat.

The felt is thick, stiff (especially the underwelted brim) and has a coarse, hairy feel to the hand. I thought maybe a wool blend, but then I have a P. & C. Habig with a similar finish. Having no experience with European wools or blends I can't say for sure, but it is much more pliable than the Litefelt and Dynafelt hats I have had in the past.
I wonder if I can find a tiny string of lights to put on it...
Have a great day!

Good afternoon. Busy past couple of days has me catching up. Great hat and cap parade of late!


Friday evening I was outside enjoying the lakeside in a vtg. Stetson Playboy. I was chuckling at the antics of our dogs in the snow.

Saturday evening I was grilling dinner in a vtg. Stetson Bantam.

This morning errands found me wearing a Gannon (bone hued felt).

Best, Eric -

It has been a great weekend for hats Eric hats. Every single one is exemplary.

The cattleman crease really works for this one Roger. Nice condition.

Very rich green color. I'm interested as to the story of this one. Maybe it is a "jobber" hat, made for a department store chain?

Nice match!

Sergej, thanks. I'll keep looking for an exact match of course.

That is just a fantastic parade of hats, Eric. A feast for the eyes.

Went out for errands in our bitter cold snap. It has been cold like Minnesota for over a week. No snow, but damn...
Heavy black overcoat and my Barbisio "Rat Gondin" (Nutria) Homburg. This hat's diminutive lines just called for a sporty diamond crease. A playful Lobbia!

You can make a trachtenhut look cool, John (which is quite difficult to do). As far as my experience goes they all are sturdy hats; very much an outdoors hat.

A nutria Barbisio homburg? That ticks all the boxes, Mike. Now you have me wanting one. Great looking hat.
