What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

Accepting a new job offer meant cleaning myself up a bit, though I do miss the face blanket.

Looking good, Ross. The brim-up done to perfection.

Very nice, Joe.

Finally busted out the straws. The original Peters Bros. namesake hat.

Is it me or is that just an insanely tall crown?

Fantastic, Fabio.

Good humid morning. We needed rain, but golly the humidity! Wearing a 30's unlined Borsolino.

Cheers, Eric -

Stellar as always, Eric.

First time out with hat build #4. Moonshine FEPSA beaver, hand sewn binding. Horseshoe crease just because. More in the Learning Millinery thread

Nice work, Jared. That crease is something else!

Date night last night... Resistol

Bringing a Resitol like that one for a date you're not taking any chances, Joe.

I am feeling better these days with the lifting of Covid restrictions in the Bay Area of California. So this morning I decided to delve deeper in my pile of hatboxes and withdrew this hat which I have not worn in quite a while. The Silverbelly fedora from Optimo. I love this hat and need to wear it more often

I know the feeling. Excellent hat!

It is with great sadness that I announce the retirement of my kangaroo leather barbecue hat. After years of mistreatment and abuse, it still feels comfy on the head, but has curled up to a degree that it’s just starting to look silly. View attachment 336727
Its place will be taken by my Akubra Cattleman. I will do my best to show it a little more love. View attachment 336728
Earlier today, I was in my Bailey Toyo straw... View attachment 336729
Believe it or not, it’s the rainy season here in Japan...

Oh, and my first effort in the new BBQ hat...Korean style chicken wings and marinated veggies.

Killing it again with the food pics, Gary.

It's been cold and rainy most of this week (and will be the coming week as well it seems).

My flight got me home just as the sun rose. Perfect timing that allows me a dog soirre in a VS panama hat.

Hot and steamy morning here in Minnesota. Stay cool, Eric -

It's not just you. That's how I designed it when I visited PB.

 

[Frunobulax]

Ha! I wondered how long it would be before I got a poke in that direction. While I appreciate that hats aren't complete without a head in them, I'm not big on posting selfies I'm afraid.

My mirrors would probably look the other way if they weren't nailed to the wall

I still feel a little silly popping out the back door and taking a selfie wearing a hat - I always double-check to make sure the neighbors aren't looking!

But it's all in good fun and gives the forum a more personal feel.

Oh yeah... used to get a lot of flack from my wife and son... oh look... he’s taking his hat photos AGAIN!

It does come out for the special occasions

Very nice VS Eric. Just curious.... what exactly qualifies as hot and steamy in Minnesota

Thanks, Johnny,
I think it’s bluegrass green, but I got it secondhand so I can’t be sure.

Good call. Yesterday in Indianapolis it was in the mid 80's f. For me this was very warm. This morning in my neighborhood in MN it is 72'f and 95% humidity. The foretasted high today will be 75'f. It is our "usual to be low in upper 40's -50's and highs in the 70's during May.

This "warm" is not Florida's warm. I admit I am not normal as my favorite season is winter.

More Sunday hat adventures -


I went over to our bakery this morning. It has been over a year since I have been inside the bakery. Sure I have received pick-ups in the parking lot. It is not the same. I visited with the proprietor this morning. Both of us wearing masks and I gifted her some honey made and bottled by another friend of ours. We sampled it on some Finnish cardamon bread. Delicious. For this special occasion I wore my Newt at the Royal Monticristo panama.

I came home and dunked my Sunbody hat in a 5 gallon bucket of water. It was bothering me that the pinches in front were not centered. Easy-peasy change. I am letting the hat dry on my head.

Cheers from my neighborhood to yours, Eric -

I was with you JC until the Birks appeared. A man could lose a toe out there in the yard wearing such footwear.

No power tools that day. Just cleaning up and setting up the fire pit.

Hey I resemble your pic on days when I have yard chores and tasks. Clothes for working and public ready clothes is de rigor, I thinks.

 

[bowlerman]

Nice shade maker! How wide is that brim?
Wear it in good health.
Johnny

It’s a cool 4” measured all the way around the curve.

Falcon Park weekend, but it’s about to get real warm and muggy, so straws may be surfacing.
