What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

What does eleven vueltas mean, Alan?

These are the circular rings seen from inside the crown. They are another way to appreciate the fineness of weave in a montecristi hat.

I dressed for a Father's Day Brunch on my lanai. My new Tawny Stetsonian goes well with my GW A-2. Of all the modern open crown Stetsons I have purchased I really like the felt on the Excellent Quality Pure Beaver New York, but I think I like the shape of this Stestonian the best. The felt feels a little rough, but it is thin, pliable, and easily takes a dry bash. Nice high crown, and wide brim. The Brim on my Tokyo Whippet is even wider, and the felt is nice and soft, but a bit thicker, and the crown is not as high as the Stetsonian.
Of course a leather jacket and fur felt hat are just what I need to round out my tropical outfit.
Happy Father's Day guys!

That whole thing only works because of the pink flip-flops. Great hat dude.

My Father’s Day Whippet

This one arrived a couple weeks ago but I quickly surrendered the box to my wife to hold for today. I finally get to see what the whippet hype is all about. Beautiful hat and a wonderful time tonight with the family at the beach

Happy Father’s Day

Wow!! With as fine as you look in that hat you’ve whipped up the hype factor a few more points.
Great photos, too.

Happy Father’s Day to everyone.

Hückel Weilheim "Chamois", possibly later 1950s. The fawn colored felt is lighter weight and easily dry creases.

Hückel Weilheim "Chamois" models most likely came from the factory with color coordinated small feathers.

Hückel Weilheim Hat Boxes, made by Zeitler - Karton, Murnau / Oberbayern possibly early to later 1950s. The company moved to Murnau in 1949 and are still in business today.
