What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Bkdodgers]

Welcome to the lounge Matt. Your photo did not show up. I’m not sure why... could be a post count issue on new account. Maybe one of the other members may be able to help out.

Thanks and frustrating about the photo. How about now?

Now it works.

if you crop the photo, any direction, any amount, it won’t show up sideways. This is a quirk here. Personally, I also like when you select the larger image option when you post photos.

Nice looking hat. I’ve seen them in videos, but I’ve never handled one. Do you like it?

First wearing of the lightweight felts is one of the joys of seasonal change and a bit of normalcy in an otherwise topsy turvy time.

You, the hat, and your eyes are all looking good, Alan. Hope you're well after the eye-op.

Oh,I've been following him for three years, but I know I will never catch up!

Yes showing now. What Brent said about cropping even slightly corrects the sideways issue (assuming it isn’t sideways to begin with) When you use upload image selecting large as images size Instead of original size seems to help with the page load times here. Also... after you upload an image. There should be a button next to it to insert it into the post.... otherwise it comes up as an attachment with a link at the bottom.

The "Thumbnail" button after uploading seems to work for me Joe and @Bkdodgers.

Things were easier via Tapatalk, but I won't start that discussion again. That bird is long gone

Worked on my end dudes. Wonder what that’s all about....

All good here, Steve... I hope with you too.

Fantastic Alan

Joe, thanks!

It's always a pleasure to catch up on this thread and the diversity of hats and heads. Thanks to all for keeping it rolling along.

Today....blowing bubbles with Lo Lo in a RD Stetson.
The hat now has more character markings.
Be well and safe.
Bo and Lo

Great pics, Bowen.

Yesterday, the Resistol Beaver Twenty Kitten Finish. Is it a kitty? Is it a beaver? Only it's hairdresser knows for sure.

Beaver or kitten; when the hat looks that good, who cares?

My new navy Gannon:

You've taught your apprentice well, Brent. Wonderful hat with lovely colours and no skimping on the gills.

I like the organic look of that hat, Bob.

Fabulous! A true work of art.

Great looking hat, Steve.

They are all very nice, Stefan, but the Wormser takes the cake! Quite a powerful hat.



That's a tough hat, Brent! I dig the gills and color contrast.

Thanks, Reggie. You should see its bigger brother the Caxton!

First felt of the season. A basic Borsalino today.

There's nothing basic about a Borsalino, Reggie!

Grey is the color theme this morning. Stetson Open Road.

Cheers, Eric -

Wonderful hat, Eric. One can never have enough greys.

Yesterday, the Mallory Ten Pliafelt

Well, reorganised my hats and the good news is that they were all there (there was a blue Portis hiding from me, but I found it in the end). Which made me think it is a good time to pick up the themed hat of the day wearing again. It's going to be American hats the coming weeks, gents (so pay attention).

Sheesh! Do they get better from here? Only you could top them two!

Thanks, Randall. There are quite a few that top these to be honest; handling all of them again I found the quality overall of the American made hats very impressive.

With this latest eBay purchase I’ve come full circle.
I just got this Dobbs “Anton” today. It’s exactly like the one I purchased new in Jacksonville, Fla. in 1983. My first name brand fur fedora. Before that I was buying the cheap woolies.
Even back then I was monkeying around with hats, as only one day after getting it I had cut the brim back just a tad and added pinch dents to make it look like a fedora.

Have a good’n y’all!

Nice one, Randall. Quite a commanding hat.

Can't get enough of that Dalton, Stefan. Great color combo and wide brim binding. I take solace that it's not in my hands because it's too small for me!

World's Finest for me as well, today.

Happy Felt Hat Day!

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Here’s the magical 50s Champ that was a size 7 having ample proportions at the start and somehow kept its proportions in the reblock.
Except for the binding It’s been completely stripped, blocked up to 7 3/8, flanged, and put back together using the same hatband AND successfully stretched sweatband!!!
This never happens, and isn’t supposed to.
Yes, this hat a miracle.
