What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[hatophile]

Very nice, Perry. I gather a black OR is much coveted?

Yes, was one of my "Grail" hats, Stefan.

Great look, Perry. What era is your OR from?

I'm guessing 40's Greg, but estimating era is not one of my strong points. I will shoot some inside pics.

Thanks, Perry. Pics when you get a chance would be great. I figured it was vintage. I'll keep looking.

Thanks, Reggie. Mike (@Redfokker) found this one for me. Not an awful lot I can tell you about it, except that it apparently was custom made for the university of the same name, which still exists. Probably 1950's.

I really like that 50's look. I am familiar with Seton Hall University it is in Northern New Jersy, not too far from here. Very interesting. Both you and Mike can come up with some fantastic esoteric headwear.

It is a great looking hat. Is this a new acquisition?

I really like that color, Steur. You contrast the buff of the felt with the shine of the ribbon. Thanks for sharing. I may have to "steal" that color combo for my next hat.

Thanks, RM. The felt is a rich brown and the ribbon is quite difficult to pin down actually, because it changes hue under different lighting conditions. Here's a shot of it from the original posting.

I'd say you lost your head over that one Alan. I would too.

Thanks, Perry. That's a beauty. There's still hope.

Thanks Greg. I got lucky on this one on Ebay quite a while back. Can't even remember what I paid for it, but wasn't outrageous.

Helluva way to treat a $2000 hat!

I don't have a witches' hat, but I'm fairly certain there was some black magic involved involved in making these velour hats (though rumors of human sacrifice were strongly denied).

That hat makes me want to howl at the moon! I'd offer up a sacrifice to have one too.

Do we need to have an intervention? Today is probably a good day for black leather though. Love the Fiddy.

Hey all!
This old Young's that I found in a thrift store years back. It was in bad shape with moth holes and rotted ribbon and the sweatband was hanging by a few inches of thread. I did my best to bring it back from the edge of death. It has seen a few different ribbon widths and colors since I put it back together (kinda) but this one I like best.

Have a great day!

Superb hat, John. Looks to be in great condition.

Thanks Stefan!
It is in near mint condition. I've probably put more wear on it than anyone else.

Nice hat. Worth the groaner.
