What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[AbbaDatDeHat]

This morning's dog soirre was taken under a Stetson Flagship. Air Force blue for a Flagship is, IMO, an appropriate felt hue.

I changed so I was sport'n an VS Artlite silvermist beaver fedora for my after walk cool down. Artlite (lightweight beaver felt) is a glorious lightweight felt.

This hat took inspiration from the Stetson Weston.

The Stetson Weston was a Whippet with a different brim edge treatment. To my eye a very classy looking fedora. The composition of ribbon size, hat dimensions and shape really appealed to my eye. It was a $15.oo hat compared to the $10.00 Whippet. Quite a deal, I think. As perhaps others, I have been searching for a vintage version of this hat since becoming aware of the model.

Cheers, Eric -

Eric: your blue Flagship is the model epitome.
Would love to see your Blues Crew together sometime. Maybe the Comparisons thread.
The Bantam, the Strats, the Flagship, the OR??.......oh my!!
As always thanks for the major contributions.
Be well
Bowen

That Flagship is a hamana-hamana hat, Eric! Dang!

Hückel. I like my more compact Homburgs sans pinches.

 

[Monte]

Thanks Monte!! Yes, it’s fantastic to hear from you! I trust you have grown the family, and have some time back?!

Sure 'nuff. :>P

Hey all!

This wonderfully soft and pliable old Willoughby is the choice today.




Have a great day!

Resistol with the ubiquitous "kitten finish" tag. View attachment 410218

Whenever I see the "Kitten Finish" stamp on a hat I always picture a bunch of kittens clutching sandpaper in their little paws, furiously sanding away at felt. Makes sense, as kittens do spend a lot of time practicing their pouncing skills.
Hat looks good too, btw!

Kittens pouncing.... that is precisely why I come back here time after time. Those little paws kneading away for some mid-sized hatter. Little guys are so diligent. It's the hats that made the west. And Britain. My hat's off to 'em. Dolly loves hats made of rabbit, like Akubras! G'day mate

From the last few days
Brown federation that is now officially so old the brim flops around in a stiff wind.

My work of Art VS granite grey. Still going strong after all these years.

Lastly my Akubra Snowy River on this bright and sunny spring evening.

You know how to throw together an outfit like young Mozart knew how to tickle the old ivories. And I mean he always knew. Fantastic fashion sense.

That Flagship in Airforce blue is one amazing hat

Thanks sir. Your Flagship is nothing to scoff at. It is another one of the special hats.

Bowen; Thanks for the hat compliment. Great idea on the blue family pic. Our snow is finally melting and the opportunity to showcase some outside pics of a blue family is coming.

That Flagship is a hamana-hamana hat, Eric! Dang!

Max; Thanks sir. That is a big compliment coming from an owner of one of the premier hat collections in North and South America.



Cheers to all, Eric -

I bumped "The Pinup Thread". Let's see those crush-worthy dolls.

Don't know what I like the most, Randall. The high crown OR, your wonderful multicoloured shirt, or your early season sun-tan.

Good to see you, buddy.

Thanks, Steve!
I somehow missed this kind comment.
The shirt is new along with 3 others.
Also got a pair of Duluth BallRoom jeans that I highly recommend to anyone to try if they haven’t yet.
Very comfy and well built. Look good, too.
Though adding up all spent on clothes would’ve made for a sweet vintage fedora...
The tan stops at all shirt openings.

Vintage blue whippet for work tonight.

 

[MisplacedHillbilly]

Now that style hasn't varied much in recent decades.....maybe the cowboy hat design is a bad example.

I don't know, looks like a plastic open road to me. That might not be to bad

Cap day
