What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[K.D. Lightner]

Today I wore my denim B!Wear newsboy cap as it is now cool enough to wear a hat or cap, but still fairly warm.

Nice Iowa weather, hope we have a good fall so I can wear my wool caps and fur felt hats.

Douglas: Man of a Thousand Faces. And Hats.

For some reason this picture reminds me of a spy who's trying to not look like a spy.

Top notch, Douglas....Like the glasses also!

 

[Dinerman]

How old is that one, Douglas?

 

[DOUGLAS]

Thanks gents.
Dman,I don't think it is too old. I've had it for ten years or so. I've worked out all the stiffener so it is fairly pliable but I will need to replace the paper like sweat that is perferated and cracking. I guess the Seventies.

My fresh out of the box Herbert Johnson.

I know the PBs don't seem very popular on COW anymore but i love mine! Is the experiment going well? will we have a price soon? enquiring minds want to know

Isn't that mustache a little darker than usual? I hope I can make it to the plymouth! lol

Today I wore my black akubra federation. I only have three hats so far so the rotation is short. I wanted to kill the feeling that it was a dress hat only so I wore it in the yard today. I was cutting up an old cypress and aluminum playset that my kids don't use anymore. After getting it covered with sawdust and aluminum bits, i then mowed the yard and got it really sweaty.

And after a brushing, although I forgot which way I was supposed to brush.:eusa_doh:

Douglas, just when I think you can't surprise me, you go and do it again! I had something like that, 40 years ago. I miss that hat.

Dinerman, That Herbert Johnson looks good, right out of the box. Do you plan to keep it stock, or will you Indy-cize it?

Michaelson, Glad to see a Peters Bros. again. I discovered their shop in Fort Worth, a few months back. Did you make your purchase in person, or long distance?

Indycop, When you can brush it off like that, you know you've got quality!

I'm going to keep it stock. It'd be pretty much impossible to make it into an indy hat, anyway. The brim's only 2-1/4 inches, and the crown's low and tapered. More of a trilby really.

Darker? er, uh, NO, of COURSE not!:eusa_doh: [huh]

Here's the updated info on the hat, and it's been QUITE comfortable to date. Up to the usual PB quality.

I'll be waiting in the Plymouth for you.....but you REALLY need to get your eyes checked, old friend.:whistling

My new Italian straw from Johnny's Custom Hatters in Longview, Texas. I'm no expert on straws, but at $80, am I in the ballpark?

Fantastic hat and may I ask if those glasses vintage or modern? They're really striking, I've not seen a similar pair.
