What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[carter]

New Optimo from Panama Hats Direct. 2 1/2" backwoven brim. 4 1/2" crown.
This one cost me $20.45 + $19.95 S&H. And.... I now have a boatload of cancelled Ecuadorian stamps!

 

[DOUGLAS]

You look really happy Carter. Good for you!!

Thanks guys, I'm usually happy.... except when they hide my medication and the voices return.

Decided to go with a better hat today.
My Society Club.

I love the hat, but it's a wee bit on the small side. My dad wears a smaller size than me, so I may pad it up and give it to him for fathers day. Although I really don't want to part with it. [huh]

Does anyone know anything about the brand? I've not heard of it before.
The liner is linen, with no plastic on top, and the sweat is unreeded; which would imply that the hat is 40's or older correct?

Thats a dynamite looking hat.

 

[EVEN-STEVEN]

Great hat, Carter! Please explain how you landed that price. I went to the website and couldn't find it.... thanks in advance!

bakers44, that is a great hat. You sure aren't kidding around with the first two hats you've posted. You have some nice ones.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Bakers - GREAT HAT! Wish I had one or two or seven just like it, but different color combos!

 

[jimmy the lid]

bakers44 -- you've got a look going that's right out of hat ads from the 30's. Nice lids, great look. :eusa_clap

Cheers,

Bailey "Helmsley" Panama

Just got back from Arizona and thought I'd post these. My Bailey "Helmsley" Panama has traveled with me to some interesting places, but this certainly has to be one of the most unique -- the Skywalk Bridge at the Grand Canyon. I now have some sense of how Indiana Jones felt when he stepped out into the abyss in The Last Crusade. Definitely a unique experience...

Cheers,
JtL

 

[handlebar bart]

Here we go again Jimmy, :eusa_clap what's the story on that amazing shirt.

 

[jimmy the lid]

Thanks, Bart. That one is a Bird of Paradise panel shirt from Kamehemeha.

Cheers,
JtL

Did you drive out there?If you did you drove right past my house.You could have stopped in for a chat.

Oh, Jimmy, that's wonderful!! Big thumbs up!

Federation IV Standard Tawny Fawn and goofin' with my ukes...

Love the new Tawny Fawn, Goose! Looks great on you! Now strum us a tune...

 

[Torpedo]

Wow! Thank you lady and gentlemen for the encouraging response! There are worse ways to start the day than being compared with Belmondo and Delon...
Gene, indeed those old ads show more adventuring combinations than we are used to. And they work! I mean, it is not like just disregarding colour coordination and result in unpleasing combinations - to the contrary, the whole ensemble of apparently odd elements works well, because it is properly thought out.
Must think of some other combo along these lines... green jacket and grey hat... navy jacket and sand hat... mmmmh...

 

[carouselvic]

Jimmy I had always thought of you as a bootie kind of guy. It's nice to finally have the photographic evidence. TLH lol

 

[RBH]

Nice shirt Jimmy and the hat looks great... but what happened to the ribbon???
