What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Mr. Paladin]

Stetson Colony (A current prototype, not available on the market. As I recall, Mr. Palladin has one, too)

Yes sir, I went down after seeing yours and found one on the trip with Carter. I passed on it then, kicked myself repeatedly, then went back and got it a week later. Mine is labeled "bark" for the color but the other specs are the same. I love it; it is probably my favorite fedora and I go for it for daily wear nearly every day.

The picture is of my grandmother's grandmother, taken somewhere in Fredericksburg where she came from Germany in the late 1800's.

Wow! Everyone looks great in their straw hats. It's still plenty cool enough here to wear felt hats. To-day, it's my VS 1930s-style fedora to start the week off right:

Sharp hat and outfit, J-1! :eusa_clap

Hi Jimmy,

seeing you with the hat on, I am glad, you fetched it! The colour works much better for you than it would have for me, having brown eyes :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Ok, so it was yesterday...

I wore my mink Stetson Chatham out and about yesterday. I tried raising the crown with steam and managed a little but there is just not much there to work with. I like it anyway....very soft and supple felt.

Thanks, Dreispitz -- you're a true gent. Thanks guys -- I am loving the Playboy, and this is just a perfect time of year to be wearing it.

Mahoganny Bill -- given the way that the ribbon is so organic to the rest of the hat, I suspect that the ribbon is standard on that particular lid. That being said, I really can't recall seeing one like it on any other vintage Stetson.

Great lids posted over the weekend!

Gene -- that Adam straw has a great feel to it in terms of look.

Douglas -- another nice Borso.

Warbaby -- classic shot with the Boater!

J.T. -- I really do like the look of that Colony. I wonder if it will ever see production? [huh]

Mr. P -- nice rich brown on that Chatham.

Cheers,
JtL

They are missing a good bet, if they don't. However, HATCO commented on it, when I first posted, and he indicated nothing about production plans. At this point, there are maybe six specimens, and we know where two of them are!

Here's my first post in here. I'm wearing a Biltmore Panama Hat today. Which is the same hat I'm wearing in my avatar.

I'd also like to say hi to everyone...

Thanks, gents. The light color and high crown make me feel self-conscious when I wear it, but I always get compliments, so... [huh]

That hat really does look great on you. Just wear it until you don't feel self-conscious. I have the same issue with light, high-crowned hats, but they look so cool I don't care anymore.

Tonak. Although it got up to 97, today, I wanted to give this hat a try. No liner, fabric sweatband, light felt. It did pretty good, better than some straws.

Great shot VM! You wear hats well. The evening sun through the windows is a terrific backdrop!
