GREAT look J.M! Damn, son, that coat is sumthin!

 

[Jerekson]

Kiltie, let me be the first to give you a big welcome. Judging by that photo, your style is unbeatable and we could have used you here ages ago. What took you so long?

Stovall...that hat has the perfect look. Really. Reminds me of what my Akubra used to look like.

My favourite hat

Today I am at work, so I am wearing the hat that has been on my head in one form or another since I was three and a half yrs old. Here is my Cairns
N6A Sam Houston in red:

Thanks for the compliment on my previous post Jerekson.

Although it is not the weather for it yet.
Today around the house, I have been wearing this Stetson center dent straw I recently acquired .
I replaced the black ribbon with a brown one I had and tightened the front pinch [which was as wide as the back end of a Cadillac].
I think it will make for a nice summer hat.

This is me. This is my hat. Say hello hat...
This is my Stetson Sovereign that I've had for about a year. After looking over this site for about a month I got sort of religious about checking out the goings on. I will NEVER make fun of people who go to Star Trek conventions again, if you catch my drift...

Thanks

First, I tweaked your original post a bit - you can insert the actual photo into a posting, instead of an URL link. To do that, first you go to your Photobucket library and click the text saying "DIRECT LINK" next to the box containing the link (or you can copy the link itself) and then on the post here at the Lounge, instead of clicking the URL link (little globe with chain), click the icon that's third to the right - little box with a mountain in it. If you hover your mouse over it, it'll say Insert Image in a second or two, if you want to make sure you've got the right one. That lets you insert a link to a photo stored on a photo sharing site like Photobucket. Click that, paste the link copied from the first site (hold down the CTRL key and hit V) and the photo will appear on the post.

AND...with a great looking hat like that, you COULD wear it to a Star Trek convention and validly claim to be "in character." I'm not a Trekkie nor Trekker (but I know the difference) but I live with one. I know there were a couple 30's/40's episodes in the different series. In the original series, best known is probably the one with Kirk & Spock in 30's Chicago (was it Joan Collins as Kirk's love interest who gets rat-a-tat-tat-ed?) and a couple in Voyager (Klingons as Nazis, the Trekkers as the French Resistance).

Today appears to be a great day for hats around the Lounge!

IC - that's a good looking plaid. It seems like most I see are grays and tans, so that should stand out in a crowd.

RBH - what a snappy looking lid. I did a bit of a double-take when I noticed it was straw - at first quick glance, I thought it was a nicely shaded tan felt.

And although I could never pull off the look myself, the derby suits you well, Dinerman!

Wearing my new white and blue Chargers stocking cap with a little yellow bolt, perfect for this weather (we are expecting 3 to 5 inches of snow).

Go Chargers!

Grey Akubra Squatter. The hight of the crown and width of the brim are no longer concerns for me. It just took a little time to get used to a "real" fedora.

Squatter

That Akubra Squatter is a really neat hat. I had it in my mind that I was going to get an Open Road and "fedora-ize" it, but opted to go with the Squatter instead. I ordered one of those and an Adventurer ( don't say a d@*! thing about the Fed - I know it's the greatest thing since sliced bread on this site...) over the weekend, but what vaguely concerns me is the size. I've read several places they run a tad big. How much so? What's been the general feeling around here with ya'lls Akubras in that respect?

This is my Stetson Sovereign that I've had for about a year. After looking over this sight for about a month I got sort of religious about checking out the goings on. I will NEVER make fun of people who go to Star Trek conventions again, if you catch my drift... Well, on to the hat real quick. I have seen many opinions with regards to quality, personal preferences, etc... I have several decent hats, but this was my first "good" hat. It is currently my main knockaround hat and has been very accomidating in conservative experimentation. It's awfully receptive to shaping without the benifit of steam or the cold water "misting" and currently sports a ham-handed diamond that i cribbed after checking out one of the posts on this site. It came pre-shaped with the run of the mill centre dent with a pinch, but it never complains about a new bash ( which seems to stick even with moderate abuse ). I get quite a few compliments, and remarkably, the "Indianna Jones" to "nice hat" statements are sitting at a respectible 25:1 ratio. That said, I am hip to the detracting comments as well. I liked this one so much that I grabbed up a Royal soon after. There is no comparison. The Royal ( grey ) is inconsistant in every aspect and seems to have what would be the equivalent of a "run" in the felt. Next time I drag it out, I'll post. I kept it ( after close examination, fault finding, etc...) as a reminder to be more discriminating in the future. Anywho's, this is the hat I'm wearing today:

Thanks

That is one handsome lid, Kiltie. By "Stetson Sovereign" do you mean Sovereign quality, like their Chatham and Temple models? I did a search for Stetson Sovereign and could only find those two styles. Which model/style and color do they call yours? I love it. Thanks.

Thanks Mike in Seattle for the tip about how to insert a direct link photo image. I was wondering why all my images have the abbreviation IMG before and after them. Now I know how to do it right.

Sovereign

Thanks Donato -
Yes, I was referring to the quality. Unfortunately I don't know the model, although the hat shop is just up the street from where I work, so I can ask. It does seem quite similar to the Temple in all respects but the band width ( wait - am I going off topic with radio speak? )... I checked the Paris Hatters web site, but no luck. fftopic: please don't refer to the Paris website as any indication of the goings on there. The site stinks, but the shop is great ( check further down in HATS for posts on it ).
