What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Michael A]

Thanks. Mine is sort of medium gray - lighter than my Fed IV Carbon Gray but darker than Moonstone. Yours does appear to be lighter than mine. What do you think? How would describe the grayness of your HS?

Yes, mine does look lighter. I would put it more in the tan/beige colorway than gray. But there is some element of grayness in the background of the color.

Fritz Hückel Hutmacher Weilheim Western Germany "Zephyr Seal Velour" probably mid 1950s. This one was made for the American market by Hückel Weilheim Hutfabrik so they had to use Fritz Hückel Hutmacher Weilheim because of probable trademark issues with Tonak (Czechoslovakia).

I'm late to the party today, too busy for a retired man. Finally time to relax, so a rerun, I love my new CD so much I'm wearing it again.

That CD looks so good on you, Ddog. What do you play on that A body mandolin?

Wow. That is a breathtakingly beautiful hat. Lovely in every respect.

That is a gorgeous hat Steve, It's hard to make a black hat look that good but that ribbon does if for sure.

You guys with the Akubra's are tempting me. I only have a beatup CEO that I wear for a rain hat. May be time to expand my horizons.

Bluegrass mostly, I used to play in a group a couple times a week, but work got in the way. Laid it down for years. But now I'm attempting to pick some old time mountain music.

Hell ya! That’s quite the hat.

Sometime you should consider a post on all your hat pins. I know it’s not everyones cup of tea, but like your hats there’s exquisite taste involved.

I strum around on a guitar some. Always been fascinated by the mandolin. Like drums, magic to me.

I started on guitar when I was 10, learned all my chords, open and barred,even some ninths, diminished, and augmenteds.I was attending some bluegrass festivals, in the early 80s, and most of the fun started at midnight. There was an abundance of guitar pickers, so I took up mandolin. No matter how crappy of a mandolin picker, you were welcome around campfires.

Hey all!
I recently made moe-riginal No. 8, a Lords' Hat in black Winchester rabbit. I decided to call it Lord Hemingway in honor of our dear departed perma-banned Bob.
Well, today I finished his little brother Earl.

Unabashedly unbashed

And creased

The bros

Earl has a 5 1/2" open crown and a 2 3/8" brim. 125g. Ribbon is dyed midnight blue, shown compared to the black ribbon on big bro. Flanged on the same flange, but the 1/4" shorter brim gives a different effect.
My last Winchester body. oh well...
Have a great day!

Great job, moe. In both the hat and tribute.

But we celebrate EVERY Friday with an oddball...
Nice dye with that hat.

Don't you mean several!?!

Have several on me.

Thanks Desert dog!
But just to clarify, that's my selfie-grimace (which I can't seem to NOT do) and not an upset look.
