What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[AbbaDatDeHat]

Greetings All:
Today it’s a Lee Adventure Blue Label, but i don’t see any blue. I do see some rain drops on it though. Good thing it’s a Water Bloc i guess. Ha
First time i’ve worn this one. It’s shy and old.
The quality of this felt is quite surprising. It is some of the thinnest, dense felt i have felt. I put it right there with Strat Vita Felts etc. Frank sure got these hats right.
Always my thanks for recent kind kudos.
Be well. Bowen

Stetson 100 with VS ribbon treatment this morning for church. Didn't photograph well today. The jacket and ribbon appears gray. The ribbon is brown and the jacket is golden/brown. The picture of the fedora on the kitchen counter is more accurate for color.

Resistol Las Vegas (Cordova color) that @Michael R. gifted me. Flattened the brim and opened up the center dent a bit. There was an amazing amount of dye that came off when shaping it (I was just using distilled water). This was after a naptha bath. It now has a sort of mottled brown thing going on. I like it...

Thanks Bowen. That Michael R. is pure class. What a gentleman.

Glad to see the Lee escaped the box. You should keep that one handy for awhile.

Thanks Michael! Couldn't have done it without you.

a hat-trick of quality there lads.

****!

Hahaha, thanks Karl!

What an incredible lid. Wow.

I agree!

You have an amazing collection that never ceases to amaze Justin. Dig the shirt as well...

Many thanks, Bob!! I try to do okay

Thanks a lot, buddy.

That just gave me a seizure.

Glad to assist

Cool hat Justin, looks right at home in the desert

That is does!

super

Agreed

Yeah, what Karl said! Super liner tip.

Cant beat the C&K, well... it's a tough one to top

Hard to beat that old hat for sure! Looking at the outside of the hat seems it was kept in very good condition by past owners.

It was, but I will come clean. This one had some refurbishing done. Body and liner are original, had ribbon was redone in the same style as original, which was thrashed, and sweatband was replaced as the original was non existent.

That is just so cool!

Thank you, friend!

Just another example of why Crofut & Knapp are my favorites. How wide is the brim?

The felt is amazing in hand. Brim comes to: 2" with a triple stitched overwelt measuring 1/2"

Gorgeous Justin. Great color.

Many thanks, brotha!

Borsalino Azoico colour yesterday (still need to decide for today). The colour is more blue in reality than it shows here.

Holy cow, that color.. I like it a lot

I’ve switched up my wardrobe for CDL school. Here are my on-duty clothes, topped off with my new-to-me Mallory Twenty.

View attachment 114539

However, there’s no school today so I’m enjoying this fellow over the top of my more familiar Southeast Asian duds. You can take the boy out of Asia...

Cheers,
Nathan

Nathan, best of luck in school. Both outfits are killer, and that Mallory is a sweet piece

Hey everyone!
Wet weather has returned. The 54 Whippet, just because I like how it looks with the trench.

Have a great day!

Bob, that kicks a$$!

Thanks Harv! Your American Hat Co. was the inspiration, but the Resistol's brim was not going to cooperate without shackles and heat.

Happy now @moehawk ?

Cavanagh lord's hat with peacock feather band that Moe MADE me buy on Monday. The heathered felt really is surprisingly nice for a later model. And the band... well
... it speaks for itself.

Awesome!

I see you have the fawn and graphite Banjo? Which one do you prefer and why? I'm leaning heavily towards getting one... (I am east asian and have a yellow hue, and am a bit concerned with blending in with the fawn; but I'm a bit concerned about the black being too warm for summers?)

Hello there, sorry for the late replay, lots of work,.

I like the fawn way better, the graphite is not really black is a shade that has a lot of ash tones on it, and I like a black hat to be black like the Coober Pedy shade.

I think you have a point in your skin tone, but I learned to forget about skin tones when I buy hats ;~D.

And, I do believe this one looks way better in fawn,! Also it goes better with different outfits, from jeans to black pants and a black shirt, somehow I feel that fawn mixes better than Graphite /Charcoal

But thats me, just my 2 cents.

But, believe me, you will love this one, its a very nice hat, well balanced anf elegant...
