It is my greatest fear. Probably won't venture out on deck without hat in hand...

I know some folks aren't big on them, but if I was in your situation, the hat I would take, and wear on deck, would be one of my Fed IVs. The sweat shrunk down to give me a perfect custom-like fit, and it has never blown off my head. The brim, as well, loosened up over time, and just gives way in a strong wind. Combine that with the perfectly fitting sweat and I'd have no worries.

Another advantage? If it somehow did end up in the ocean, it is completely replaceable, and for not a lot of money by fur felt hat standards. Yes, I'd have to break it in again, but that's part of the fun!

Vintage hats are great, but there are certain places I just wouldn't risk wearing one.

Do you have a lower expense modern hat for the deck?

Great band RJ. You'll be wanting to wear that on July 4.

Bob, your hat was an inspiration for a straw I had Art Fawcett build up for me. Unfortunately I had to send it back for sizing. Once it returns I’ll post pictures.

A fine montecristi from Cavanagh.

Resolut Homburger Hutfabrik possibly early 1950s.

Cool! Passau is where I live.

All beautiful hats, but I'm drawn to the Borsalino Opale Homburg. It really floats my boat!!

You have the eye, Mike. It's one of the very few nutria hats I have; superb quality.

I like the Dattero. And that isn't the cat-afflicted Panama, is it? I can't see the damage on it.

Thanks, Max. The Dattero is a lovely lightweight hat, great for the kind of weather we;'ve been having. The panama is a different one; the cat would risk all of its nine lives at once if it touched this one.

That hatband on the Ecuadorian is gorgeous.

Thanks! I would say it's just a pug and it is, but these do give a panama a bit of extra.

That should bring the sun out, Michael. Great hat.

Thanks Stephan. I don't have the hat with me now, but I believe it was an Allesandria.

Thanks, Mike. As a recent acquisition/refurb, I'm just beginning to enjoy it.

3X OR for a sunny Thursday.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Very nice, Jim. Looks a bit more rounded shape; very cool.

Lovely panama. I like the striped hat band and the shape of the vents is great.

After some trials and tribulations, I finally came up with a suite of hats for the Alaskan Cruise. For the formal nights, I decided on the Borsalino Bismuto Lobbia c.1955, figured it would make a statement with a navy suit. I added a new Mercedes Benz 500K Award pin for good measure.
For the days not quite warm enough (probably will be a few) I chose the Hückel Special in blue/gray. This one will work for lounging around the ship as well. We will be taking a rail excursion on the White Pass & Yukon out of Skagway, so I thought an old timey 1920s Derby would be fun. And for the sunny fun days, the NW Hats Lt. Blue Duplex. I also tossed in a modern stetson Ivy cap. I think internet will be an issue, hopefully I can get some cell signal in ports to post on tapatalk. Otherwise, I'll see everyone after the week abroad.

I'm 100% convinced you'll be the best hatted man aboard, Mike. And probably in the state for that matter. Enjoy your trip.
