What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[rlk]

Nice bolo....

Thank you, a vintage Navajo piece.

I like it! Great brim treatment. How old is it?

The hat is an Older Stetson No. 1 Quality and is quite soft. Hard to date, perhaps 30's? Dinerman may have a better idea.

Thanks for the compliment! It is the Jaxon Ivory Toyo Safari Fedora, I got it from here:

The hat is very comfortable and is good and cool for the summer.

Nice hat, tbrunke! The blue suit is pretty sharp, too. Is it linnen or wool?

Serious rain around here...

So I broke out the Glen Grey Campdraft. (photo from earlier wearing)

Love that Glen Grey Campdraft, gtdean! I'm still anxiously awaiting my CD (Taupe Fawn), but I thought long and hard about getting a Glen Grey.

The projected high is in the low 70s in NYC today, so I took the opportunity to don some felt -- specifically, my moonstone Stylemaster.

Thanks Spats. The only thing wrong with the Glen Grey is that it made me start hankering for one in Moonstone!!!

 

[Spats McGee]

I'm sure it did, gtdean! I'm sure it did.

As for me, I can't take any pics, but it's cool enough for felt today, so I went with my Mid-grey Stylemaster.

What a great outfit; I love the boater with it. Trying a new look with the moustache I see. The Dillinger label is most apropro!:eusa_clap

Yes, I am experimenting with a pencil moustache; it is very much a "work in progress" yet. We'll see...

Regarding the Dillinger subject you and Rusty raised, as a matter of fact, I wore this very hat to the theatre when I went to watch "Public Enemies", and I chose this hat on purpose, knowing the style of hat John Dillinger wore at the time of his demise - BTW, unlike him, I suffered no mishap on leaving the theatre

Johnny Depp does not wear a real boater in the movie's Biograph Theatre scene, but a softer version of such. I have seen a pic of the real hat Dillinger wore, complete with damage at the brim and all, and it looks like it was a proper boater. Considering the film has a generally well kept attention to detail, this makes me wonder if Depp refused to wear one? Or maybe it was substituted by the softer hat because of the fall stunt?

Depp wouldn't refuse to wear a boater, he's a vintage hat enthusiast.

Probably not, and besides, the hat he does wear has look very similar to a boater, but made with softer material and not so sharp angles, so this would not make much sense. Hence my speculation in safety reasons. Maybe it was deemed necessary to give him a softer hat that would not break and potentially cause harm.

I may be biased at the moment, having a couple of Adams on the way from johnnyphi, but they just seem to do such nicely balanced proportions and colours, as evidenced by your pic.

First off, thanks gents! Mr. P -- glad to see you received the ADAM memo yesterday as well.

RobStC -- I couldn't agree more with your assessment of Adam lids. I really do like the way that they are proportioned, and there is quite a variety of unique and tasteful color combinations and ribbon treatments. Looking forward to seeing your Adams once they arrive!

Cheers,

So I broke out the Glen Grey Campdraft.

I like the looks of that one, Deputy. Plenty of swoop goin' on, too.

Remember, though, that in the 1930s, there were a variety of weaves and materials which boaters were made of. I have a '20s one which is fairly sof, though it is 3-ply. Garrett just sold one that's more like a milan type weave.

in ten days I will have an acorn Stylemaster and, well darn it, I will wear it.
