What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[DOGMAN]

That is a beautiful hat! Is the stitching on the crown patch original, or is it done later to keep it in place?

Thank you.It looks to me like it is original to the hat.Only hat I have that has the tip stitched on like that.

Yesterday (Saturday) a two hat day.
First I started custom with Mackey Hatters.

After lunch I went to Tagus river south bank, to the Cristo Rei monument. Time and weather were not the best to go up there.

Lisbon seen from there

And a Stagecoach hat.

Beautiful Mackey, looks great with the hat band. Awesome scenery!

Yesterday evening brought more snow shoveling. A Gannon was the perfect companion.

Great looking hat, Stefan. I'm a sucker for a great stiff felt. That one's fantastic.

Thanks, Matt. Really like the look of the Knapp-Felt you wear today too. The way the brim is done always has me in awe.

Haven't decided yet for today, but yesterday I had to give the Negretti a try.

Great hats. How wide is the band on that Stagecoach?

Stingy short hair Saturday! Going to the OSU Gymnastics meet today. Decided to give the English License Penn Craft some daylight. Love the short hair finish on this one. Feathers are not normally my thing on hats, this early 60s example just seemed to ask for one today.

Looks great red! I think the feather is indeed a nice touch on that lid.

I had not yet seen Stefan's yesterday hat when I picked this '30s Crofut & Knapp, Knapp-Felt.

Thanks for all of the kind words about yesterday's Knox.

Enjoy the game (if you are into that).

I also post a "P.S." shot, just because. Yesterday, the boy and I went out to the Great Dismissal Swamp for some fun. Lake Drummond is one of only two natural lakes in Virginia. It was as still as glass.

Great hat! And that leg looks divinely pristine. Wow

Totally agree with that perfection. Is that the natural undyed color?

The stingy brim was made for you. It looks fabulous.

Thanks I really like it. That’s about as small of a brim that I feel comfortable wearing. It’s brim is about 2” with a 3-1/2” crown.

My Cairns has seen alot of steam on multiple occasions. It hasn’t softened up yet....but that’s one hat I’m glad that’s stiff.

Thanks Stefan.

After reading your comment, I again read this great primer on the construction of the classic stiff felt. http://thehattedprofessor.bowershats.com/2010/07/?m=1

The D'orsay curl is one of my favorite things in all of hatdom. And the subtle variations from hat to hat are simply wonderful.

The elegant art deco look of the form makes it one of my favorites with which to mess around in photo shop. Just for self-indulgent giggles, here's this one from a couple of years ago (along with the original of the photo that provided the background).

Great hat! And that leg looks divinely pristine. Wow

Thanks, Jeff.

And yeah... the conditions on the lake were disturbingly beautiful and serene.

It took me a while to figure out that "leg" in your comment was likely an autocorrect mess-up of "lake". I spent a couple minutes racking my brain to figure out if a "leg" was a part of a hat that I had never heard of or forgotten.
