What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatsRme]

Here's my Stagecoach conversion with those hat profiles in the background of the picture you posted. I really like that era of fedoras, late 1930s - earlier '40s. Tall straight sided full crowns...I haven't seen Saboteur but now I'm interested. My Son spent the night with us for a doctor's appointment this afternoon. I've been introducing him to some noir movies that I have recorded and he's really getting into them. He especially enjoyed, "Murder My Sweet".

Here it is on the head. It's one that I already posted sometime back

DA-yum, Terry!!

Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I've been on the form, but I wanted to stop in and say hello. I ran into a guy on the elevator at work yesterday wearing an Akubra Fed IV. Couldn't believe I saw one in the wild. We struck up a quick 30 second conversation about our love of hats in quick elevator ride. It made me miss all the back-and-forth here on the forum. I'm sorry I don't have the time to be on here like I used to. But I do check in and read the wisdom of the group from time to time.

Meanwhile, hat check. Wearing the D'Aquino today. It's as comfortable as ever.

Hey, Dave!! STILL lovely D'Aquino, Bro! Must be one of those telepathy things happening, here. YESTERDAY, I was thinking about the time your Mom bought "little Davey" a nice hat in the outlet store. My own mother (90 years of age) inquired about the Panama she bought me for a b-day a few years back, and that reminded me of how nice it is to have a Mom do that... that was just yesterday.

Wonderful work as always, Terry.

Thank you, Mike. I might never get out if I start digging; it might cause a hatalanche.

A hatalanche! You may have outdone our other wordsmith, @mmbarnes!

Thanks, Es! Yup, my own version of an anniversary was last night. Every year, I mark it at midnight, February 13, because that was when I slide that rock onto her finger to get the ball rolling back in 1979. Following a 180 mile late night drive through a blizzard in a borrowed yellow Chevrolet Chevette, (don't EVER tell Harv I drove that, please) I arrived at her doorstep just before 12. Thank G-d she let me in! We married in September of that year. She's starting to get used to me!

It's 44 years today for me and the woman I love. Just hope the wife don't find out!

Congratulations, Justin.

Congrats!!!

And congratulations to you on your trim choice for the St. R. It looks wonderful.

Congrats mom and dad!

Congrats Brother Justin and Family! Try not to get any ash on that brim...

Congrats, Justin. Baby blue would be more fitting, but this will do just fine.

Thanks everyone!

First day back at the office after an amazing paternity leave. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers -- my baby girl Rafaella was born on 1/31 - healthy and strong!

For Ash Wednesday, my pale blue 1950's Stetson St. Regis with a new/antique merlot ribbon accented with a fine-point brush.

Congratulations. In a way, your life is just beginning, as well.

Your conversions look like they were on the shelf waiting to be bought in February 1940. Quite an accomplishment...

Welcome back Dave. I like the color combo on that fine hat.

Another crisp morning and another heather felt. T&W Lees heather in grey.

Very fine looking heather felt on that Lees.

That is a wonderful story, made me smile. The car, not so much.

And don’t worry, Harv is laughing as we speak
