What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Wyldkarma]

Been self quarantined so not much hat wearing lately. Hope everyone is safe and virus free.... The Lonestar Dude is abiding.

Janyška "Parga" possibly late 1930s early 1940s. The black felt on this hat is of a heavier weight so most likely worn without side dents. This hat is from my May 2016 NOS Czech find.

This week I will highlight Janyška & Cie. from Czechoslovakia. Janyška & Cie. was started in the 1920s in Valašské Meziříčí – Krásno about 25 km from Nový Jičín (location of JHS, BB, AP). Janyška & Cie. was a Czech company based on Austrian hat tradition. Janyška & Cie. became Tonak Factory 2 post WWII and the factory was closed 1961.

Janyška & Cie. possibly 1930s.

Dragged the kid out for some exercise with me. Made it about 4 miles. Silverbelly VS went along for the ride. We saw about a half dozen cars the entire walk. That’s pretty insane considering we live in a city. Anyway, y’all stay safe.

Boxing up felt hats and moving straw hats out front. I realized I only wore this Borsalino Mimosa once since I bought it; it deserves more.

30 Days to 30 Hats - Day 14
Knox Twenty - Brown with Back Bow

Knox Twenty - Chocolate Brown
4 1/2 Crown as bashed
2 inch Brown Grosgrain Ribbon with back bow
2 1/4 brim with Cavanagh Edge
Oilskin liner tip

This one arrived today thanks to a much appreciated tip by fellow lounge member @georgie girl. I’ve been looking for a brown hat with similar dimensions for a bit as I love my black Dobbs very close in size to this. This one with its back bow and oilskin liner seem to point to 1950s vintage... and I think it’s manufacturer tag also supports that theory. The grosgrain ribbon appears to be a matching brown color.. though the grosgrain ribs can give it a grayish look depending on the light.

I will name this one after location of the store it was originally sold at and one of my wife’s favorite Garth Brooks songs... Tacoma

This one will climb very quickly on my favorite hats list.

My Knox-off Strat clone. There’s nothing authentic about this hat except for its good looks.

very nice! I had wanted to compare it to my '50's Dobbs twenty, but of course they're pretty much the same color, I think mine is Cordova, and the same measurements. What really endeared me to the hat was that it was from close to the home area. Glad that you are diggin' it, you wear it well.

Wow, that bow really sets off the hat. Great contrast!

Sported a not so vintage big Stetson Western on my daily masked Corona crawl down the hill and along the coastal path. I gotta find a truly vintage big Western hat next.

I like that leisurely styled curled brim, very a spring--like hat.

Boxing up felt hats and moving straw hats out front. I realized I only wore this Borsalino Mimosa once since I bought it; it deserves more.
