What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[rlk]

rlk and Scott, I assume that xxxxx equates to beaver fur right? That hat looks very durable.

Not sure what the Beaver content is. The XX... hats all seem to be a fairly thick felt with a short Velour or "Suede" finish though. The Roll-up traveler hats seem to share this finish frequently.

Mmmmmm....Brimmy!

This is a modern-era Stetson, model unknown, that I fished out of the bay a while back.

Mayser, I liked the look of that Fleetwood on you so much that I went and bought one from Johnnyphi. It was all he had left in my size.

Oppenheimer's Stetson western

Like CRH and a few others here, I've always been interested in the hat Oppenheimer wore, and I was also convinced that it was NOT an Open Road - the 3-row cord silk band was the first clue. While out with a buddy today, we were talking about Oppenheimer for some reason, and I realized that I might accidentally have stumbled upon his hat style - I pulled the '40s Stetson San Fran off my head and re-bashed it. Here's the result:

That's fantastic, Scott! You always take a great picture.

By the way, I always loved this photo of Oppenheimer's hat hanging outside his office.

Oppenheimer - the guy who blessed humanity with the A bomb, right? Nice legacy.

Scott - you look terrific in every lid you wear. This one is a stonker! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Very nice! That hat-band is just crying out for a colorful feather

Scott, you two could be related from the look of the photos. Looks like you might have just hit on the correct hat.

Good idea! Next time I will wear it with a feather. This hat has some beautiful felt especially the color. It is beaver - rabbit / hare mix with antilope finish.

Thanks! It is a nice hot weather hat. The brim is a bit tough to snap so probably need to work it with some steam. Retailed for $1.95 back in the early 50s.
