What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Tango Yankee]

Introducing... The Harcourt Hats!

Well, that's what it says on the liner. I've never heard of this maker before.

And a view of the liner:

The sweatband markings repeat "Harcourt Hats Fine Fur Felt Supreme" on one side, and has an oval mark that reads "Oil Protected - Head Eased", whatever that means. [huh]

All in all a nice, basic fedora. I like it.

Cheers,
Tom

I do, too. :eusa_clap

indycop, I'm not sure if that look inspires confidence or fear. One or the other...maybe both! I'd give it a definite :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

It's a wet week in East Texas, so I grabbed my long-time rain hat (well, at least since fall of last year). Stetson Temple in "sage" color.

Hey Indy, it's funny isn't it sometimes when you empty your pockets, etc. at the end of the day - - and it takes about five minutes. The stuff just keeps comin' out. You feel like a magician or something. lol

By the way, that is another absolutely super job of suit/hat wearin' there pal. Just stopped me in my tracks. And you didn't have to yell, "FREEZE" or anything. :eusa_clap

Hey J.T.,

So you use that Temple as a "rain hat". That's interesting. I have given that model low marks in that department based solely on my own experience with one hat. Yours seems like a workhorse. I'm impressed.

for my new Glen Grey Campdraft.

gtd, I like the crease you put in that and I like the brim "swoop" as well; doesn't seem as radical as some of the others. Very nice!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Hmmmmm....its kinda like "mobster meets Montana".... :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Viperman, Douglas, and JTL--You guys must never, ever, look bad in a hat!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

IC, just my opinion but I think that is the best outfit/hat picture you have ever posted. I love black hats and wear mine when I can, but nothing tops that (yet)...

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Today it was my VS Rorchach.

Looks great; very businesslike, square-on-the-head method of wearing it.

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Well, that's what it says on the liner. I've never heard of this maker before.

TY, that is a very nice color coordination between the felt, ribbon, and binding. Nice!

Thanks Mr. P. It is a lot stiffer brim than the vintage so the swoop is just beginning its journey!

Raining today

Raining (again) today - thought i'd try the Resistol western-to-fedora conversion.

Indycop - that is one serious hat! Love it!

The new glen grey Camp Draft...

Got a good sweat in it yesterday cleaning stalls & removed the sizing. Fits nicely now...

I started that test, last year, prompted by our ongoing discussion of current Stetson quality. So far, it has not bled, shrunk, increased in taper, or self-destructed.

After rain use, I do make sure the brim is set the way I want it to dry. (Up all around, resting sweatband down, on a flat surface.) Once it has dried, if there are rain spots in the nap, I give it a light brushing, usually with a clean handkerchief. That's it.

Deputy S, I am wondering if you pull the back brim of your hats down when you crease them?

Nope, this is natural snap down as it comes. The back of the brim is curled up slightly ala JtL technique...

I think I have too agree with this post......:eusa_clap
