What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

This Wormser belonged to my grandfather Alfred Turgeon . I don't wear it enough.
He was a great roll model. When my sisters and I were kids, he took us on all kinds of adventures with his big "we're up to no good" smile. He was a veteran of the 86th Engineering Battalion Heavy Pontoon, wounded twice at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. His unit operated ferrys and built the first pontoon bridge over the Rhine under fire.
I wear it in his honor today .

Thanks Joe!

Your delicate hat work never ceases to amaze me, Randall. The bash and the shape of a hat are the stuff that grab our immediate attention, it's the detail that draws us in and makes us want.
Great work, my friend.

Thanks a lot for the great compliments, Steve!

Celebrating my son's birthday this weekend. I'm wearing a Resistol Kitten Finish, Not sure which hat Dan is wearing.

We decorated some t shirts for the party. My rendition of my son Dan.

New Akubra CD in moonstone. Daylight indirect light. First photo is more accurate for color when light makes it light gray. Second photo is me trying to imitate Daniel.

Huge shout out to Jesse and Combat Construction Inc. Two and a half days to a new fence and a fantastic garden shed. Lots of room in this 4X12 structure, clear roof and a huge glass slider for "green house" action. Since it was a morning of watching the crew work, I wore a 1950s "beater" fedora made by the Hat City Hat Co. of Danbury CT.

I wish my "beater" hats were that nice.

Day 3 of our 3 day trip saw us in the same hats as day 1 (My wife would only allow me the two hats). I, in my Stetson Custom V and my wife in her Maxim.
We visited the World Heritage villages of Gokayama - Ainokura and Suganuma. This is deep in the mountains of Toyama prefecture (although, thanks to the 11km and 13km tunnels, it's not too difficult to get there.
The travel guide says "They are famous for their traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses, some of which are more than 250 years old. Gassho-zukuri means "constructed like hands in prayer", as the farmhouses' steep thatched roofs resemble the hands of Buddhist monks pressed together in prayer. The architectural style developed over many generations and is designed to withstand the large amounts of heavy snow that falls in the region during winter. The roofs, made without nails, provided a large attic space used for cultivating silkworms."
When the roofs need rethatching, the whole village comes together to do it - quite a spectacular sight in itself.
The houses were spectacular against the magnificent background of the autumn mountains.

I was sorely tempted to pick up one of these hats, just for the sake of posting it on the Lounge! In the end I decided to save my money.

All in all, it was a great little trip to a beautiful part of the world. Highly recommended if you're looking for a place to visit once international travel is possible again.

Early morning I needed to move the three garbage cans (refuse/recycle/yard) out to the curb. Wool robe and a hat naturally. It is my "normal" to reach for a hat. Moving the last can I saw the neighbor doing the same. I lifted my hand to gesture hello. She waved and yelled over, "nice robe and hat." I tipped my brim of course.

I wore a Stetson Whippet for a short dog soirée.

Cheers, Eric -
