What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[J.T.Marcus]

HarpPlayerGene, I like what you've done with your Chatham. It's nice to see others enjoying a contemporary Stetson. I have several, myself. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

mcarthur, Welcome to the Lounge! I just re-read your post, and saw what the hat is. (If you read this before my edit, please forgive the mis-identification.) Great ribbon on it!

Mingo....Jimmy, sorry I can't help you out, but this is the first I heard of it. I even posted on hear after I won it asking if anybody had ever heard of them before....hoping that dinerman, Douglas, Jt, or anyone for that matter, but nobody replied as far as I remember. [huh]

If I ever run across another one though, you 2 guys will have 1st dibs on it.

 

[DOUGLAS]

It is a beauty Bolthead!

Thanks Douglas...

It is a beauty Bolthead!

....coming from you, I take that as quite the compliment.

Hey Gene- The Chatham looks great on you. I have one that I enjoy too.
You have a great collection, sir!

Thanks Gent! About time I started participating in these threads more. I have enjoyed seeing everyone else's hats so much and it's my turn to share what's in my stash! Great fun all around.

Thanks, J.T. I've got this Chat' and a black Temple. Like 'em both just fine but have lots more occasions to grab the Chatham. One of those hats that makes the jump from dressy to casual real well. It took to that semi-diamond real easily too with just a bit of steam.

Looks good, Douglas. Glad to see I'm not the only one still wearing some felts in the summer. I sort of have Thursday as "Panama Day" lately. Of course there are a lot of my fur felts that are waiting until fall/winter but I've got a few that I don't mind putting a little warm weather mileage on.

All the best!

This one

Lightweight German felt from the 30s:

This one is a rich brown with 1.25" ribbon, 2.25" raw edge brim and 4.5" crown.

Unlined just with the Ferd. Meister Nürnberg sticker on the inside of the crown.

Beautiful!

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Extremely soft felt too. Almost buttery soft, and will hold it's shape like a truly great soft hat should. This is a very high end hat (or it would be today).

Baron Kurtz, Very impressive. Given where you live, I'd say you see many things that don't normally circulate here in the "colonies." Happy July 4th, and God save the Queen!!! :eusa_clap

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I dunno. I'm seeing a lot of 40s and 50s Royal Stetsons lately. Picked up a lovely, but beat-up (something sitting on it for a number of years), tan one - looks very much like The Wanderer of previous page fame - the other day.

Thats a swell hat, I like the reddish, brown color. It's the Fritz Lang model?

Optimo montecristi superfino

mcarthur, if you can, please take a few more photos of your Optimos and post them on the Optimo thread. We've seen so few Optimos in the past but, lately, they're coming out of the woodwork.
