What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Héctor Fernández]

Aha. Ok. Beautiful here. Chin up! Break out an Akubra.

Ha! Yes, I need to get me one.

If you can’t beat it; Whippet!
Nice lid , Rumad.
Maybe I’ll find a Whippet Whon day.
Do they really have the Guard posted around your city?

Found mine in a thrift store in Florida for about 30 bucks a bunch of years back. My size even. Very lucky. The Guard is not ‘posted’ around the city but they have taken over Glen Island, a public park, to set up a testing facility. Cannot go there anymore. Bummer. Although, I’m not sure how long we’ll be able to come to practice anyway. Seems like #canceleverything has taken a good hold.

a $30 buck Whippet! No kiddin’.
Can’t beat that.
Although....
I shouldn’t even mention this because it’s hardly believable, but just before you answered my post about your Whippet, I was checking eBay and found a BIN on a Whippet clone from Stephen Stetson hat co. !!!!
Crazy, huh?!
Don’t know its size yet, but I bought it anyway. At $30 bucks, including shipping, I wasn’t about to wait around for answers to a size inquiry!
Who knows, maybe it’ll be my size and I’ll have a cool story to tell much like your very cool Whippet tale!
When it gets here I’ll share how it went either way.
I’ve got to get back to check eBay again. Maybe Lightning will strike twice...

My hat and facial expression of yesterday express how I felt after all schools and public institutions were closed for at least the next 2 weeks due to the hateful, but beautifully named corona virus.
It's a very nice Borsalino Qualitá Superiore in the ubiquitous bismuto colour. My grey attire matched the day as well as the weather.
The wonderful blue sky and sunshine of today brought a bit of a smile to my face. My Mayser Spezial from 1950 was the chosen hat of the day.
Behind me you can see Sweden. My town is usually full of Swedes at the weekend. They come to shop, dine, and have fun. As of noon today, Danish borders were closed, so no Swedes to be seen.

On the bright side, I guess I'll have more time to catch up on all you wonderful folks posts on the FL

Stay virus free, fellow Loungers

Back from Costco.....what fun that was. Now relaxing at home with a Kentucky cream Ale and a vintage Wormser, love this hat. Just another day in the Apocalypse, Cheers! lol

I’ll post this one under eBay victories, for certain!

Man, Pennys made a fine hat in the day. Looks fantastic, well, except for the feather.

Great looking hats as usual. Hunker down Steve, time to to brush, clean, and lotion up all those sweatbands. This too shall pass, stay well my friend.

Love that Mayser Spezial!
Your facial expression kinda ruined the Borsalino for me.

Stay safe, friend!

Thanks! I love that hat!
You really think I should let the feather take wing?
Me too, but I think it should be given another year, or so of flight time. We’ll see.

Thanks, Randall.

The Mayser Spezial is real nice as is the Borsa. Sorry for spoiling it. I'll make sure to take a photo another time in more happier circumstances

I'm sitting here at my computer with a glass of wine, listening to my favourite jazz radio, and just planning on going through all the FL posts I've missed. Looking forward to seeing your Penney's Marathon, my friend.

Looking good, Ken. I can see way you love that Wormser. I want a poster of that second photo
