What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

I’m afraid I’ve been a bit scarce around here this week. Been tending to a serious family emergency and hats haven’t been at the front of my mind. I have however been watching some of your great hats this week. Today is the first day where I feel a bit of a positive day… with great progress. And a small bit of time to clear my mind.

Here is the latest addition. FitzGerald Boston Special

..I hope all is well with you....
But... even when things are side ways... I am wearing my hat.

Take care....

Sorry to hear it Joe, your absence here was noticed. I hope things are on the upswing and everyone is alright.

Really like the look of that felt, Brent.

Last drop hand built war between brothers hat today for my sister’s and brother’s b-day party. Born less than a year apart.

Sounds like fun. Cool looking hat, Randall.

Sunny and in the 70s, so I'm marking the occasion with an unlined Dobbs Cross Country.

Now there's one that's high on the wishlist. Nice!

Hey all!
I've got upbrim on my mind for some reason so I put one on my head.
J. C. Penney's Marathon "Genuine Velour" which I'm sure doesn't hold a candle to some of the top-notch velours posted here but it still has swagger. Especially with that bow!

Have a great day!

That's the way to go, John. Great style ànd substance!

You never fail to disappoint, Stefan. Besides the wonderful hats I just loved the Dutch Windmill and that camel coat accompanying the Stetson actually upstages John B's finest.


I wouldn't say my week has been all hats, but I did wake Jessica up, took her out and about ready for the classic car season. Tina made the shirt, naturally, it depicts vintage MG's from Jessica's era, note the MG buttons. Esther made the Strat-look-a-like.

At work, I showed off my new camouflage shirt, by way of a photo on my phone, explaining that the camo was actually silhouettes of pin-up girls. Wear it, I was asked, more like told. Cheryl's green hat got some: "Going green?" comments, but all in good fun.

There's a testing track not too far from where I live, I always think about distance when considering Jessica's performance, she's not had her Spring spruce & tune up yet, but it was an easy journey. Tina's classic race car shirt compliments Cheryl's nutmeg classic fedora, or should that be the other way around?

You can't trust anyone these days, I was just quickly inspecting the inside of my eyelids when the shirt maker thought it fun to catch me snoozing. The fabulous hibiscus patterned shirt that Tina made is a perfect partner for my battered Biltmore.


Sunday best, this was the first hat that Cheryl made, it's actually navy in colour distorted by the phone's camera. The shirt I bought at The Goodwood Revival, Tina made the baggy trousers and former Lounger simonC, made the shoes.

Thank you, Robert. The camel coat is actually more of a silverbelly colour. Made by Corneliani. Needs some sunshine to be worn.
Love your parade of hats, shirts and shoes. Especially like the colours on the nutmeg fedora.

Some wonderful hats, sunshine, and a Corneliani coat. Can't get much better than that, Stefan

Thanks for that Stefan, I did have some trepidation, was it over the top? Some years back, on a visit to Scotland, we came across a hat maker who made me a beautiful dark brown classic tear drop fedora, I had similar feelings back then too. Strange really, when you consider that my shoes fill the colours of the spectrum and my shirts.............
The Scottish lady has retired now, but this and another in black, is the result of her handiwork:

I'm not going to argue with that, Steve. Thank you very much.

Certainly wins this hat? No. It is the background that wins.
A real postcard from the Netherlands as it was used when I was a child: the windmills
