What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Bamaboots]

Thanks Greg! I really like the proportions on this one. If the eBay listing is to be believed, it came from the estate of a 'fashionable, upper-west side opera singer.'

Doubt I’ve heard them sing but I admire their tastes in hats. As I do yours.

Hello, I want to buy a good quality Whippet, not a knock off. They all seem to be sold out or their cheap and I'm questioning their authenticity. $200 budget.

This has raised more questions then one can answer without more info.

Modern ones also come in wool so you need to watch for that. Vintage is way more expensive than that unless you have a 6 3/4 head size. If it was me I would have one made up by a custom hat maker. Look at the web pages, Instagram, Facebook and check out their work. Unfortunately basic rabbit felt dress hats seem to run $275 and up plus shipping.
That’s my two cents worth.

My Gannon arrived today, so I’m totally wearing it. I’ll take some better pictures in the future but I had to share. What a wonderful job he did. The felt is soooooo soft. View attachment 313141 View attachment 313142

Wow, that is stunning, man.

Thanks Johnny, I agree, the colors works nicely together. I was inspired by many hats and I’m happy mine looks this good. All credit to Michael Gannon though.

Great color combo and fantastic bow, Alan. Throw in a nice soft felt and it's win, win, win.

Thanks Michael. Normally I like my wins one at a time. In this case I’ll make an exception.

This 1950s Stetson No. 1 Quality was an internet find several months ago. The hat arrived sans liner and with a completely dry rotted sweatband. After setting it aside for a while, I decided to give it a new lease on life by sending it to Wolfbrae and having @belfastboy clean it up and completely rebuild it. It turned out fantastic! It originally had a two-cord ribbon and the new ribbon and campaign bow gives it a whole different vibe. It didn’t lose all it it’s vintage character and it’s just what I was hoping for.
