What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[AbbaDatDeHat]

I have been very delinquent posting my hats, but I just had to post this hat my son was wearing during his visit during the holidays. It is a Knox, probably tens or 20's vintage and in great shape.

yessir

many of my homeboys are in PMJ

I often play drums for Drue Davis who is a prominent original member

I pop up a bunch in his EPK here... and the guy you see on sax in the EPK is Steve ... also a PMJ member

Dude... PMJ is one of my favorite ensembles to listen to. Small world, man.

For the life of me I cannot seem to get a bash/crease that I'm satisfied with. Trying to decide whether to go tighter or not

Suggestions are welcomed...

Assuming you're referring to the pinch, I always prefer tighter. Photos from July, 2015:

Jeez, why didn't someone tell me I needed a haircut?

Thanks Zombie
I'm starting to head back that way. I had a tight pinch on it before and got tired of it but now I'm starting to think I made a mistake

Great crease on that CD, Al. Hell, if I could grow that hair, I wouldn't care what they said about a haircut. Can one still get a "haircut" out there?

Very nice, Johnny. Did you get written permission for that matchstick?

Don’t do it man! Don’t do it!

Hey folks!
The rain stopped briefly and the sun almost came out so I could get better color pics of the Vita-Felt. Turns out it's a bit of a chameleon.
To me anyway, it looks greenish in a grey shirt.

But it looks greyer in a tan shirt.

Have a great day!

Good to hear from you again Adrian. He has a real style. Nice topper.

Rheinhut Superior "Wildleder" probably later 1950s and a recent arrival.

Nice! Great finish, color and a cool band. Super hat Steve.

Naw, a "mistake" would be to throw your hat on a fire or cut it into little pieces and throw it in the trash. One of the great things about fur felt hats is that we can shape and re-shape them as we want.

Great crease on that CD, Al. Hell, if I could grow that hair, I wouldn't care what they said about a haircut. Can one still get a "haircut" out there?

This is Los Angeles; you can get almost anything here. Off the top of my head (no pun intended) I can think of two actual barber shops in my home town alone. In recent years there seems to have been a trend toward the days and ways of old when men didn't have to go to a "salon" to get their hair cut, and can instead pay a more reasonable amount for a simple haircut and an opportunity to "hang out and chat with the guys".

And thank you for the crease compliment. I'd swear that particular hat has a taller crown than my other Campdrafts because I can't seem to crease them quite as high, but that's probably because of my fists of ham and fingers of butter more than the hats.

Got bored with the house and decided it was time to take this Hi-7 on a walking tour of the neighborhood.

Wonder what it would look like with a kettle curl?

Nice day out here,

I've been wanting one of those, only in a 7 1/4. What do you have on the open crown height and the brim width?

 

[moehawk]

Nice contrast and you're right. I'm continually amazed at how some felts play in the light.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks Jim! Color shifting is just one more thing to enjoy about them!

Now we are talking. Nice.

Thanks!

Perfect dimensions, would not have guessed it to be a Cavanaugh. Must be nice felt.

Nope. You can just call me a rebel.
