What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Richard Morgan]

Unexpected mtg. this afternoon had me leaving in a different costume. My jacket needed a coordinating vtg.Stetson Playboy. This 1940's unlined brown hat is a fav.

Best, Eric -

It's easy to see why that one is a favorite.

 

[Richard Morgan]

A simple hat with good blood lines. $7.50 at Buffalo's The Kleinhans sometime in the later 1930s. Note the very flat flange (not homburgian) and the fixed wind cord button, which serves only to hold the cord looped to attach to a jacket button.

Beauty Alan, and from the looks of that liner you may be the first person to wear it.

Hey folks!
This grey Hückel on a grey afternoon.

Have a great day!

Thanks Charlie.

Me too. I absolutely love the subtle curve of the brim. I was thinking about that a little while ago and it occurred to me that the brim curve is just about the same as the curve of the Mona Lisa's smile. I then looked at some images of the painting. Sure enough....

I wonder if that's why I like it so much.

I have now passed into the "hat psychosis" phase of my hat problem.



That's a killer straw.

"ROSEBUD..."



Yeah... That'un deserves more head time. Wonderful.



Groovy hat. Fantastic photo of the sun shining through.



Dang...



All three rock.

Yes... HANDICAPPED HATS MATTER!



I am blue with envy.

Boy oh boy...



Gorgeous wool.



Thanks Mike.

I pulled it off quite well until I opened my mouth.



Welcome back.

You've got yourself one heck of a Borsalino Brotherhood there.



Yeah... That is a fantastic overwelt. I don't know if I have ever seen its like.
Wicked hat.



As one venerable member told me when I first came around... Most of it is "hatitude."

BE the hat... Have fun...

And remember...

Thanks Matt. You have pulled off a couple of stellar examples of the hat trade today.

Last sunny day for a while. Back to Oregon rain and felts for a week or so. Cappas panama for the day's errands. This was the first hat I bought from NW Hats at the beginning of my addiction. I forgot about the new pug I put on last summer. Like a new hat!

I like that paisley pug Red. I have a couple of hats that could use new pugs, and I have some similar looking paisley fabric. May have to try my hand at one.

Thanks,
Michael

Birthday dinner #2 for @EstherWeis

Awesome.
Happy birthday, Esther.

Ummmm... Where's your hat?

 

[mmbarnes]

Tried my hand today at reshaping a brim on a western for the first time.

This Beaver Brand was the last hat I bought before I went vintage nuts back in late 2012 or so.

A few weeks ago, one of my best friends said that he wanted me to help him find a western or a slouch hat to buy. Instead, tonight the Beaver Brand went to him after I shaped it like he described.

Doug gives it the first wear as we let our freak flags fly this evening.

I also attach a photo of it from 2012. It's the sole shot I can find of it from before today's reshaping.

Great looking hat (and couple). Happy Birthday Esther!

I like that crease Matt! Nice work...

Thanks Richard!
I do like my Italian, German, French and Austrian lids...

 

[Desert dog]

Thanks fellas! It is indeed a Resistol in Pilgrim clothing.

Formease was trademarked by Byer-Rolnick in 1942.

That makes it even more interesting to me. I bet it is nice felt too.

Dude, you need to be wearing that one more.


Looking very springy today Michael!

Thanks Perry! It truly is a remarkable hat, but as I am short, this hat is huge! I better just acclimatize

I think you're the first person I've known of who smiled at the thought of Walmart and frowned at the thought of playing with the kids.

Thanks, I picked up a couple from Mike Miller, they were only a few bucks.

Heck of a day of hats in Loungeland. Good stuff...

Out for evening activities under an Imperial Stetson.

That is an impressive hat by any standard, Matt. Imperial indeed.

Two hat day. Knox Twenty for chilly morning errands, and a breezy Milan with new pug from NW Hats for afternoon heat and 10th anniversary dinner outside.

That Knox is one heckuva hat, Tuk. Can't determine what the actual colour of it is though; on my screen it looks purple...
