What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[drmaxtejeda]

Thank you, Red! Oh yeah, gotta have a manly sized mower for these big yards! I'll be careful and watch the hat.

I live on a hillside, so my back yard is terraced. It would be very impractical to use a big mower like yours on it.
Fortunately, however, not all gardeners in Mexico have emigrated to the US.

^^^ i have determined i like your style

Ps: subtly cool lapel pin.

What I am using as a lapel pin is actually a WWI USMC Collar Disc. In WWI the marines wore U.S. Army uniforms to Europe. To distinguish themselves from the army they had special Collar Discs made. It's the only time the USMC wore them. There are many reproductions today. I have a set of original.

Yeah, I don't think this mower would work out too well on a terraced yard. I bet it looks really nice, though.

Yesterday with my granddaughter. I am wearing a milan made by Buckaroo Hatters at the FedoraFest that was held in Covington. Mike had entertained the thought of making straw hats.
He changed his mind pretty quick!

This picture is outstanding on so many levels.

50s Knox Twenty this morning. I have determined I like tall crowns, wide brims, and deep dents.

That's an unreal hat.

A drizzly, drippy and dreary Monday. But felt temperatures make it sunny.

THE POLAR

Happy Monday.

And just because... a family of geese meandering around a shopping center yesterday. They were fastidious about using the sidewalks.

Unknown vintage JC Penny’s Genuine Panama. Crest on sweat says Solar Straw above JC Penny and appears to say New York Made below that crest. Could be New York Grade but looks more like made than grade. Genuine Panama on other side of sweat. Sweat will eventually need replacing but for now I’ve taped it together with artists tape.

That's a wonderful looking hat.

Just got home from a Anniversary brunch. What with the show, we didn't get a chance to celebrate on Friday. Modern Stetson Stratoliner in Sage.

Sweet Champ Richard. Unlined with a tip protector, cool.

Good morning. This morning a lightweight green hued Knox Vagabond was my hat of choice.

I have started some yard clean-up and the 70'f temps have me wearing a straw hat for the first time since early Fall 2017. The vintage Sea Spray is a unique straw. The straw hat is a tight weave, while having side and top vents. The edge treatment is clever. It is enjoyable to wear. The leather sweat works well handing the sweaty efforts this morning.

Best, Eric -

Serious question...is there a difference between Madras & what they used to call Bleeding Madras? Or was Bleeding Madras just a marketing ploy to get us to buy those shirts? The shirts I had should have been called Fading Madras, because that's all they ever did.

Bleeding Madras is cotton that was handwoven and dyed in India using traditional vegetable dyes. The dyes were not absolutely fast to water so when washed they would tend to both fade and blend with the other colors. I think the madras name is the British name for cloth woven in the Madras area where the patterns were derived from Scottish tartans that the local weavers saw the troops wearing during the colonial era. Probably most modern Madras is neither handwoven or bleeding, but I believe it is still readily available.
