What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[BobC]

Thanks, Mrs. Carey.

Gene and IC, sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. And Cracker Barrel to boot? It don't get no better than that!

 

[Fletch]

My best panama has that same problem, and now that Gene has shown us the step-by-step, I'm going to try it myself!

Hey,that's one GORGEOUS vintage sax you've got there. Do you collect vintage ones? Do you only play tenor?

I have a collection of over 2 dozen vintage saxes and clarinets, including all the saxophone family from sopranino to bass.

 

[AlanC]

Question for you- where do you get the small checked pocket scarves??

Thanks for the kinds words. That particular square came from Kent Wang. I don't know if he still has any made from that fabric. He also makes nice cufflinks.

I can see with that clean shave that the handlebar is gone the way of the Dodo! lol
I like the swoop!

Today, the Lee Adventure. This lid is lightweight and surprisingly cool in the sun...

Cheers,

Excellent!:eusa_clap That is a perfect green hat shirt also!

 

[indycop]

Today I wore my Barbisio Panama - - and look who came to visit me all the way from Jacksonville!

Could this be the first ever meeting of the Hawaiian shirts and fedoras thread?lol lol

How do you get that Hollywood swope in the brim? It looks great and I never seem to get it right. It always looks goofy when I do it. Too droopy on the down side.

 

[St.Ignatz]

Gene & Indy I'll join the chorus in saying thanks for sharing the great pic's of your get together. I must admit when seeing the first shot that it was the best photoshop I've ever seen but then scrolled down and the brain clouds sllllooowly parted. Very nice indeed.

Carey Thanks, That old hat has served long and well for me.

Jimmy, in violation of the 10th Hat Commandment. I do covet thy light weight felts.

Green Knox 15 with no liner and a "other patents pending" stamped on the leather. Purchased from Baron Kurtz 3 years ago.

Another of those characteristically Schoble crowns - VERY tall, almost stovepipe in appearance.

This one (lightweight, unlined, mid-late 1930s) measures 5 3/4" undented.
I had to bash it pretty deep - sort of a tugboat shape.

Bart and Fletch, those Schoble's are fantastic!!! :eusa_clap
I'd love to have one someday. Too many great hats to mention here. Love them all. :eusa_clap

This is the BEST photo ever! It so typifies the joy of men that enjoy wearing a good hat and the requisite shirt of summer... Indyc and Gene, you two look like poster boys for a "Fedora Lounge Men of Summer" club.

I think a thread on that would be very cool, as an adjunct to the "What are you wearing today?" and "What hat are you wearing today?" threads. with pics of FL guys in their summer garb. Such as Fletch in his ice cream suit- Oh, Fletch you can be a poster boy too!

And Warbaby in his boater...and AlanC in his seersucker suit...

Could this be the first ever meeting of the Hawaiian shirts and fedoras thread?lol lol

 

[jimmy the lid]

Back to the cream Borso today...

Cheers,
