What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[drmaxtejeda]

Ha! Thank you, Weslynn. I get asked that question all the time. The only thing I can think of is beer, brats, and staying busy with yard work. Plus, I have a great big God who looks out for me since I'm not smart enough to look out for myself. When my granddaughter was about two or three the wife and I took her to buy her some shoes. The shoe sales man figured correctly that my wife was the grandmother, but guessed incorrectly that I was the dad. My wife still throws that one up to me.

Now I know where Dorian Gray ended up. I still don't know what triggered his interest in hat conversions. Was Oscar really that Wilde?

We had the same idea this a.m., Michael. I went with my aloha Woodys n Surfboards shirt and Royal Deluxe OR, too, for a cool morning breakfast on the deck. IIRC, @hatsRme has the same shirt.

A great look for sure. It wasn't cool for breakfast here, but tomorrow morning promises to be cool. Yay, felt again. ha ha.

Wow!Congrats on a hell of a lot of effort!

Thanks Robert. It has taken a fair amount of attention, but I think was well worth it. I would say I feel better now than I have since I turned 40. And next month that will be 26 years in the rear view mirror.

Thanks,
Michael

Hey thanks Bowen. Next mineral/gem shots will come from Denver in September.

Seems like forever since I was able to succeed in logging in here.

Anyway it has been a hot summer so far and my Worth & Worth Montecristi is a go to hat.

Cheers!

I'm really liking all the thin ribbons on display this hot afternoon...I broke out my Stagecoach thin ribbon conversion for a Neo Noir effect earlier this a.m.

These pictures were taken over last Winter....

Some Johnny Cash and Luther Perkins on the Fender Esquire....

I like that conversion a lot Terry. The proportions are spot on for you

Very nice! I love the fedora/ Hawaiian shirt combo

Visited my Grandkids today. Me, my Granddaughter, who's attending Dennison University, and my Son in Law. I gotta get him hatted. Wearing my Black Resistol conversion again today...

I just saw this. A BLACK hat Terry?

Ha! Yeah, I know. I'm not a fan black hats but I do like this conversion for some odd reason. Maybe it's the thin ribbon.... I dunno. You caught me red handed!

Oscar put my picture away for safe keeping, covered up and under lock and key! Doing hat conversions is the only way to keep an old guy young at heart.

Switched up to a VS Panama straw for lunch with my Ecuadorian sweetie.

I like bold weave on that English one. Mayser is just too cool! Very enjoyable straws.

Thanks, gents! The English one is not really English at all; it's branded by a shop in Amsterdam called The English Hatter. I'll post more pics of it in the panama hat thread.

Borsalino sisol straw I picked up from Bencraft a few years ago.

Looks ice and airy. Like the colour too.

Thanks Stefan, I'm wearing it at the moment.

Ha ha, it is bright. Not original, my work with the only real grosgrain I have on hand. I'm thinking about dying some of it to dull it down a bit.

No problem. I need a fix every few days too.

The English Hatter is a sweet weave. Both great hats, and outfits.

I was into my third hat of the day to go out a collect a few mushrooms I saw on my earlier bike outing.

Helmet, Sun as it says on the inside.

Soaked up that set of clothes too. Did get some sulfur shelf and a small bag of chanterelles for my trouble.

Have fun at the fireworks,
Michael

Thanks, Michael. I have a pith helmet like just like that one. Never wear it. They are cool though.

Hot enough for a Stetson Select Quality Tropic Weight (circa 1929).

Fantastic lightweight felt, Bob. Beautiful.
