What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[deadlyhandsome]

Well, your hat knowledge is truly astounding, but make room on that limb, Brent, for I can guess the exact price Reggie’s Dad’s hat sold for in the early 80s...

Catching up from the past few days.

Unlined Dalton featherweight with after market ribbon.

Alexander "Clipper," a Gay Prince clone.

And a lunch run yesterday to my favorite Chinese joint in a Disney Milan.

Great to see you, Reggie. You're looking good under that Borsalino Lobia. What a cool family heirloom to inherit.

Hey guys, just checking in. This one belonged to my uncle, who was a mortician, and it just happened to be in my size—enjoying the hat show as always.

View attachment 260238 Wish I could send this long, heavy rain to the west coast...but I wanna keep this hat. It’s my favorite...this week.
It’s the 40s/50s Royal Adam that I blocked and flanged posted a week ago. Great felt! Finally got around to sewing in a replacement Stetson sweat that I stole out of a 70s model.
It’ll be a daily go to hat, for sure.

Excellent Adam fedora. They made a terrific hat in their day.

Wearing this Dunn & Co Hurr1cane Grey Fedora today. It was made by one of the great Manchester hat makers, T&W Lees of Denton sometime back in the 60's.

Thanks to Stefan @steur for this one

Looking sharp.

One of the few places that can appreciate a good stink eye and a good hat! HAaaahahaahhahahahaahha

I love your posts showing hats going to work. Excellent natural environment pics. Thanks for sharing.

Quite a work hat Bill. Thanks for sharing.

You’re well healed...and headed today, Eric.
I’ve enjoyed seeing your fine line of Whippets. Do you happen to own one in dove gray with a silver, or black band and silver binding? I’d sure like to see it, some time, if you do.
Think if I could get my noggin under a 40s model in those colors I’d just quit looking for another hat.
Bought a mint 50s 4x Quality Supreme Champ With gills in those colors yesterday just to ease the rabid craving. May even cure it. We’ll have to see.

Ask and you shall recieve sir. The back of the brim needs to be steamed on the flange. The hat got distorted in a box this summer.

Resistol Byer-Rolnick - Beaver Fifteen
Kitten Finish - Silver Grey
5 3/4 Open Crown - 5 inch as shaped
2 inch black grosgrain ribbon
2 1/4 brim with wide Cavanagh edge
Wind Trolley

As excited as I am to be watching the return of NFL football tonight... I am equally excited to be wearing This 1950s Byer-Rolnick Resistol- Self Conforming Beaver Fifteen with luxurious Kitten Finish In a beautiful light silver came highly recommended by @Randall Renshaw. And boy was he correct. The texture of felt is about as soft and plush as you can get without being a velour. It molds in your hands with ease. The 2 1/4 brim definitely hits a sweet spot for me and it features a beautiful nice wide Cavanagh edge. The oil skin liner is pointing me to 1950s vintage. The sweat appears to be in nice shape and is still malleable. The proportions are fantastic with its ample brim and 2 inch ribbon. This one is in fabulous almost minty condition. It even possessed the original care pamphlet and the managers card from the store it was sold at. This is one excellent hat for sure. If I was ever forced to drop my collection to just one hat... this one would be definitely be in the running.... Both for its beauty and versatility. It hits a sweet spot for me in styling that this could be an everyday hat to wear from the most casual of casual to formal.

Killer lid line up! Nice work on the bow, Jim.
And you look mighty snazzy in the matching 3 piece suits: pants, Tee, underwear.

Outstanding! I even like the phone cover. You were taking the photo in that room based on the acoustics, right?

Thank you, Randall. A well-dressed gentleman always tries to coordinate his hat, socks, and underwear.

Thanks, Brent. It’s the first time I’ve tried the cease and love it on this one too, thanks for the compliment! Setting will have a more... pleasant aroma next time

Thank you, Bob! Well, you know, it IS sometimes my second office at work

That Knox Twenty has my juices flowing, Max. What a beauty in many ways.

Hi guys, today just as yesterday cause i just got it and it took forever to cross the atlantic ocean, I’m wearing this really nice vintage Stevens straw hat with a Lee 101 coveralls inspired by the Bonneville salt flats speedway. As I’ve just read on another topic, Stevens has been making hats until 1972 right?

That crease is pure fire. Wow. I had something like that going on this model below. But I widened it out and toned it down. Going to keep playing with it though after seeing yours. It's a JJ Hat Center brand, but really nice felt, made in Spain I think. Kind of Bushman-esque but more tappered crown than boxy.

 

[Steve1857]

Nice straw and cool look, Doctor M. There is a Stevens Hat thread on the lounge, but that's maybe the one you've been looking at.
Is there a liner or any labels on your straw? Be nice to see them if there are.
