What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Michael A]

Truly a "Goes Everywhere" lid, Michael!

Thanks Charlie. I was happy to find this one at the local thrift. Loved your milan today, and nice to see you around again.

Thank you kindly, Bowen. It really is one of my all-time favs. Look how fine the braid is on the top! They don't make 'em like that anymore.

How's Willow?

Willow is wonderful!! She still makes my heart skip a beat and brings a tear to my eye everytime i think of her. Spent the day watching her. Thanks for asking.

Got this one out for a ribbon shot and thought...what the heck...head time.
I do love the color of this one!
Be well. Bowen

I really like the touch of contrast on the top edge of the ribbon!

Super fine, super classy, Charlie, and you wear it like a champ... Well, not a Champ fedora, but... you know what I mean!

Stetson, late 1930s. Air conditioned.

A beautiful weave on this one Alan. The combination of colors in the ribbon is interesting too.

What to wear? Getting organized for our upcoming cruise along the New England / Canada coast at the end of this month. I'm not as brave, nor packing as heavy as Redfokker did for his cruise, so I think only two will make the cut this time around. One straw and one felt (the VS Pecan).

I ended up taking 4 hats on our Alaskan cruise. I found a plastic hat box on Ebay for a few bucks, but I ended up carrying it because I didn't trust it as checked luggage. That was a pain. I ended up only wearing a couple on a regular basis. I brought a fancy Homburg for the formal dinners, but didn't wear it other times. I would say you are wiser with only two.

 

[Frunobulax]

Yes, the Cunard ship. Ha ha. It was a Resistol model with a full crown, wide ribbon, 2" underwelt brim and a back bow. Made in 1958-59 area of time. It was named for the Cunard ship. Here is mine.

Yours seems similar.

Michael

Indeed it does, but mine doesn't have any sort of designated name. They do look similar. 2 1/2" overwelt brim?


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Fine looking Stetson this morning Bob!

That is really nice ! Great brim shape

Thanks guys! The brim shape is a happy accident. The felt is so thin that the shape is always a surprise after I put in on and look in the mirror.

Or you could do as Peter Warren did when he traveled up the east coast with Ellie Andrews with just one hat and the clothes on his back.

This IS A HAT!!
That crown and dents are “legend”!!
Would totally love more pics of this one!

Michael really did a great job on this hat. It’s a fixed crown so the dents are from the master himself. Here’s some past posts where it’s been seen before.

Good morning. I have been enjoying the hats that you folks have shared. Thanks.

This morning I have been out and about in a vintage Stetson Open Road.

Best, Eric -

Ah, I thought the brim was a bit different. Mine is a 2" underwelt. I'm guessing they are around the same age still.

If Max can wear felt in Mexico City today (and a GORGEOUS Borsa it IS, @drmaxtejeda!) I can try it here in the Boston area, too!
