What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Bill Hughes]

it's down into the 70s this week. I find myself grabbing the NW Hats nutria a lot.

Like everything about this one.

Man, Tuck, I’d like to buy one just exactly like it and wear it a lot, too!

Hey all!
This Penney's Marathon that I received a couple days ago. I gave it a good steaming, went at it with a hat sponge and put it on a band block to stretch it just a tad.
Please pardon the selfie-grimace.

Have a great day!

Awesome Penny’s worn well!

Guessing late 40s, but could be early 50s Portis. More about this full on renovation on the eBay thread.
My first attempt at a pleated dog eared bow. The felt hiding behind the original blue ribbon shows its true color and everywhere else has faded since new, which is unfortunate since it had a nice super light mauve tint. In person the hue can still be detected, but mostly a beige now.

Man, fantastic work.

I bet you could find an old western and make it up like my nutria. You clearly have the skills. Mine is a melange of the later years John Wayne movie hat and The Fray ribbon treatment by Stetson.

Thanks, Tuck.
Sure miss The Duke! No one will ever come close to his persona and acting ability.
Is that a vintage grosgrain ribbon that Northwest used? Looks old, but very nice!
Your hat and ribbon style is definitely on the list!

I'm not sure if the ribbon was vintage or not. I don't think Mike has a lot of vintage ribbon, though. IIRC, the color is called bone.

That is remarkable Randall.

Looks like you did a real good job on it, John. A beauty for sure.

Love those shades too Brent. Very cool.

When there is little wind or rain I can get away with wearing this Northwest Hats Cuenca on the beach. It is getting a bit rumpled, but still a favorite.

 

[The Shoe]

Pondering if there are any custom hatters that would take up the challenge!

I’m in my Bailey paper. No head shot for Etsuko, but she was in this Maxim.

Knox raffia for jab number 2.

It’s been an hour and a half and no ill effects yet. Hope it stays that way.
This is today’s hat. The last post was from earlier in the week.

 

[Randall Renshaw]

That is remarkable Randall.

Thanks a lot, Perry.
It’s the widest ribbon I’ve ever used at 2 1/4” . Been saving this awesome vintage blue ribbon for the perfect hat. Some true vintage ribbon is so much better and easier to work with than others. Any new “vintage” grosgrain just doesn’t have the same feel and workability.
It’s always a crap shoot when buying the stuff from vintage ribbon sellers.

Fine looking outfit topped by a great hat. That hat is a great find. Those kittens did know how to finish a hat.

Hot and humid again today, so I wore a Meyer's Swiss boater. I wore a straw. I wore a straw for you. And it was called Yeddo:
