What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[rclark]

It's one of my favorites , Rick. Unfortunately, the un-reeded sweat is losing its stitching.

Still what a hat! I’ve had no luck finding anyone who is able to re-stitch un-reeded sweats.

My first and favorite custom today. Pecan VS.

For some reason I can't pull off the Pecan color very well. It definitely looks good on you, though. I have a real nice one that Mike Miller made up for me in Pecan. Beaver felt. I've hardly worn it. I can't get pass the color. I'm thinking of trading it off.

In keeping with the Derby Bowl 2018 theme today, I submit a 1930s Mallory with the 1823 date in the logo. Had to go out for some more game day supplies, so popped on this old derby. Because, sunshine!

That's a beautiful hat, Mike. That liner is a wonderful touch. And cravenette is one of my favorite kind of "ette."

Thanks steur. It could use a bit of mousse and a comb out with the blowdryer. ha ha.

Nice looking hat steur. I liked the derby too. Great looks to go with them both.

Thanks Matt. As I recall I got this hat very cheaply because it had a very low BIN, but was listed as in store pickup only. I bid before I noticed that last part. But they shipped it anyway. The model is called Lancelot and the original price was $55. And I see it's listed as a 2 1/2" brim though to me it measures between 2 5/8 and 2 3/4.
I mostly complain about the weather because of the heating bills. I have plenty of clothes that are up to the job of making the outdoors tolerable.

You are styling as usual today. Great photos.

Looks good Red. I need a lined derby to wear in this cold weather. All that I have found so far are unlined.

Thanks Red. Yes, it sounds like he was right.

Thanks D-d. It does match my hair and beard's current dishevelment for sure.

Thanks all,
Michael

Michael, I like your beard, it gives you an intellectual look, that could be good, or bad, I guess! You are a style setter, not a style follower. My salute to you!

Thanks , Mike. Here's a close up of the liner logo. For a better example of this hat, check out Anthony's post in the "Hat comparisons" thread. He has two of these that are nicer and he takes better pictures!

Day-um I like the logo in living color.

Last month my Impala needed a new starter. Yesterday, guess who's car wouldn't start? Yup, and it sounds like the new starter is fouled. At least I hope. Don't need another repair bill right now.

So, this is me, wearing my green Dalton, watching my car go to the dealership, for the second time in less than a month...

Now holed up back in my hovel, making Portuguese chorizo bread (thanks to Joao mentioning it a few days ago), and preparing to put on a pot of chili.

At least I'm stocked up on beer...


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

That may be the best pouty face I have seen since my son was about 3 years old. You have better reason for it than he did, though.

I hope that your antelope is not expensively ill and that by gorging on bread washed down by gallons of beer, your frown will soon be turned upside down.

Thanks Matt. I need to take some new detail shots of this one. I've had it for a while, and I now know more of what to look for in dating features.

Stetson Eagle Medalist Vita-Felt ( that was a mouthful!) today.

Man... What a hat!

PERFECTION, Robert.

Lotta nice lids everyone's displaying today. Wearing my Bradford conversion this Sunday A.M.

Dance Party!

Stetson No. 1 Quality for services this morning. This has a 3" brim. I'm really liking the wider brims.

Wicked hat.
Wicked color ribbon.
Wicked crease.

Is that a raw or felted edge, Bill?

Same here , Rick. I know it can be done by hand but I can't imagine that it would come out looking like the original.

As will the rest of you...

I thought it looked great on you. What size is it?

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.

Great hats though I like the Mackey best. Great pics too.

I've got a couple that have the same issue. It pains me terribly when the original parts have to be replaced.

I've resorted to carefully placed fabric tape to try to keep the original sweat in one. Seems to work o.k. Though I worry about the possibility of felt damage.

 

[Richard Morgan]

Good looking,I like the dimensions.

Thanks Bob

 

[Richard Morgan]

I love it when you bust out that hat.

Thanks Matt, and you, of course, have a great Super Bowler today

I may try the tape method, Matt. I don't like having hats that I am afraid to wear.
