What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[gtdean48]

There is no reasonable comparison between Akubra's felt and vintage Borsos, but Akubras are good, rugged working hats. As for Open Roads, I think that depends on the quality of felt of the Open Road...maybe comparable to 3X, but nothing like 7X.

I'll agree with Bob here & add that nothing like a Stetson 25 either. I have a vintage OR in 3X & an OR style 25 plus a raw edge, 2 ply ribboned 25. The felt of the 25s is a couple notches above the 3X. I'd say with some additional pouncing, a stock Campdraft can get to level with a vintage 3X OR. Out of the box, the CD is way too fuzzy. JMHO

That'll work!!

You and IC better come on up pretty soon or we'll all be ice fishing.

The Royal Stetson -mode edge- Zephyr Weight

 

[St.Ignatz]

Very nice Douglas. It looks as if it wants to collapse under it's own feather weight. Can it really be that supple?

YES

Nice color on that one, Douglas

Again...

The Mayser...

But this time with some kind of Hollywood brim...

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Mario, my friend!
Love that Mayser and that brim.
Nice to see you with a smile on your dial too. I think we're all possessed by the spirit of Bogart when we don these lids and adopt his steely gaze in our pics- but even he smiled once in a while.

Good look.

Today I tried to "do a Mario" , borrowing on our appreciated German fellow lounger's style and predilection for a mainly black and grey palette...

Hat is a Mr. Disney "Oxford Fifteen".

I have a Mr. Disney Oxford Fifteen, myself. I consider it my finest hat. Looking good, Torpedo!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Not-Bogart13]

That is a great look, Torpedo! Bravo! :eusa_clap

Kept it simple and casual today, with an AB and bush jacket.

Thanks, ET. I just HAD to smile. In fact, I was trying hard not to laugh out loud, as I was listening to George Carlin when I was taking the photo...

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

That explains it Mario. Carlin is one of the few American comedians who is actually funny.

Now Billy Connolly makes me laugh so hard I lose control of my bodily functions...but he's about the only comedian that can do that. It's probably my Scottish upbringing or something.

May I mention Bill Hicks? Also a memeber of the Great Dead Comedians Society...

My new Lee Trinity.

Mario -

That Trinity is fantastic!
