What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[alanfgag]

First edition Stetson Stratoliner. Color is a pale blue/gray. The first photo shows it most accurately.

Lord's Hat/Homburg? by P & C Habig made for the Lodenfrey chain in Germany. My guess is it is 1959 based on the mfg tag (hopefully Steve will verify/correct me). Poor phone image that does not do this hat justice. Absolutely wonderful felt, very soft and not stiff brimmed like other homburgs.

Turned out to be a two day hat (actually three, but I forgot to take pictures of one). This came in today from Oregon to Holland. Caxton hat in chalk. Had to try it on of course.

The phone camera has some trouble with it; more soon taken with a real camera.

Stefan:
That Caxton is one to treasure!!
Such class!

Now that's the business, John! Not yet cold enough here, but I'll get mine out as soon as possible.

Thanks Stefan!
Winter will come soon enough. Enjoy the mild weather while you have it!

Well, I don't have two hat days that often. The drizzling rain has let up so now off to my Dr. appt in a new era sage green Stetson Whippet. 150th birthday premier edition. All those wonderful older Whippets everyone posted lately has reminded me I should give the new one some head time.

I guess i’ve never seen this one Alan.
Amazing as always!!
I’d have such a hard time not wearing this one every day.
I truly believe if i could choose only one hat to ever have, it would be this one!!
The Strat of Strats!!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bowen. At one point I had a lot of thin ribbons. I did pass along some, but these early 1940s Stetsons are quite special, both the branded Stratoliners and the unmarked Vita-Felt thin ribbons of identical proportions. They were modestly priced compared to the fancy beaver dress westerns that arrived after the war, but lovely in their light weight and casual air. Perfect for the balmy early days of fall.

Thanks Red. The coffee rescue mission was a success so I'm having some coffee fro Las Lajas farm in Costa Rica this morning.

You have made a very good start on the new thread Stefan. Fantastic looking hat.

Thanks, Michael. Great looking combination on you again today. Enjoy the last of the summer weather.

Thanks Stefan, and your Caxton is quite lovely. I have one in a similar color.

Thanks, Perry. I saw that one in the Caxton thread. It's quite the hat.

Gawd damn! Pimp that wide brim now boys!
That looks grand on you sir! The curl and brim size just does it for me.
Congrats!

Thanks Rodney. It's a substantial hat alright.

 

[steur]

That is a fine wake-up call indeed. Well worn!

Thanks, Alan. You're wearing a fine hat yourself today (as always).

Definitely the finest long hair western I have ever seen! Nutria no less!
