What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[srq2002]

Under the shade of a new Stetsonian in the Florida sun. Diamond bash.

It's THE outfit for King's Day over here, Mike. You'd fit right in!

Wow! Please excuse my ignorance, Stefan, but I did not know that the Netherlands have a king. It surprises me because I think that Holland has an egalitarian society. Well, live and learn.

Good to see you Fred. Like that weave on the Stetson.


Yessir! Gills.


High quality weave Richard. Nice.


It is enjoyable to see the variables of details in the history of Whippetdom.


It is actually an old Mercedes Benz lapel stick pin. I have them in many of my hats.


Wonderful lines on this one Max. I need to learn more about these McAndrews hats. Seen a few float past on the Bay.


The Knox is classic Stefan. The brim on the Ticino is interesting the way it is. I like the lines. Homburg wannabe?

I told my Mom once when I was a young boy that I felt a strange fascination with surnames beginning with "Mac", and with tartans. She gave me a surprised look, and told me that it must be an "inherited memory" or something, because her father was born in Scotland.
So, when I saw a hat that had a name beginning with Mac I had to buy it. Just bought three MacLachlans, too.

Thanks, Mike. I like it too, but I'm not informed enough to know what it is.

The hat arrived with a bit of "storage rash" - it was bent a bit too much on one side, and had a little smush on the back of the crown. Since I got it for a song, I didn't think it would hurt to steam it and let it sit for a bit. Not only did it not hurt, it fixed both! Yowza!

Hey, Max. These are current production hats that are part of Stetson’s Excellent line. 100% beaver and soft and malleable.

I had a chance to get one of those at a decent price shortly after they were introduced, and passed on it.

I chose...poorly.

Great looking hat Bill, wish PB still sold them....they have absolutely nothing available right now.

I worry about Peters Bros. I'm afraid they are going the way of the dinosaur.

I saw them recently for about $300, right?

I hear ya Bill, last time I was in there I waited almost 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me, so I browsed the old hats in the wall case. When I asked about straw hats the said everything was sold out and they did not know when they would get anymore in. I had brought in my 20 yr old Peter Bros hat in for a steam and reshape, the kid that worked there grabbed my hat, did a quick 10 second brush up and a 10 second steam and said here ya go. ??? Really? . It's a sad day for Peter Bros, hope they get it together soon or they will be gone.

Kind of partial to this straw Stetson.

Try the outlet, otherwise they are around $300.

I think I would rather keep buying vintage. I swallowed the hook, line, and sinker. Just practicing for my Wisconsin fishing trip next week.
Besides, I already have several Optimos. New hats are represented in my collection already.

Cufflinks are my great grandfathers, shirt is a vintage inspired creation I had made years ago by "Natty". I'm shocked it still fits

By seeing all the great old vintage hats you post, I keep forgetting how young you are.
By the time you are my age, you will be a living hat encyclopedia.

I wish I had started with golf and hats when I was young, dammit.

Love it. You’re able to rock the vintage look like few others.

Yeah, I want to say it was less than that, though. Maybe it was an outlet opportunity I passed on.
