What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Stefan, your command of English is a lot more impressive than many a native, it even comes close to your hat appearance. Now that's saying something.
Thank you, Robert. Have to admit though that when these words pop into my mind I sometimes need to check if they actually mean what I think they do :)

My Father in-law is too cool! Master Gunnery Sargent Braxton turns 98 this week and is still going strong.

He told me he can’t remember when he got this hat, but said it was long long time ago.

Have a great holiday weekend!
You're up against some serious competition, Reggie!

Very nice, Marcel. I'm a bit wary of Christys', because their hats vary wildly in quality.

I‘m wearing my new Hemp Stratoliner today with a Hawaiian style shirt. Here I am with it at the local coffee roasters. One thing I’ve found is that this hat gets lots of attention and compliments from random people. I’m good with that.

A great hat deserves compliments. You wear it well. This past Saturday my wife, son, sister-in-law, and I went to lunch. I wore my Silverbelly Stratoliner, red polo, and blue shorts. I was being patriotic leading up to Independence Day. I received a few compliments in the restaurant on my fedora. My sister in-law was amazed. I just laughed at her reaction; I told her only confident men can wear fedoras, the rest wear baseball caps. :)

Good to see others all suited & booted as we Brits say of a collar and tie appearance. I love the hat and the way it compliments your attire.

It was a collar and tie day for me today, too. We had visitors at work, they didn't see the hat, I don't wear it at the office, the blazer came off too. But how they went on about the shoes that former Lounger SimonC made me.

Can't see what all the fuss was about. By the way the hat is a bespoke, silverbelly look-a-like.
The hat is spot on, just like the rest of the ensemble, Robert. Glorious.

Couple hats to celebrate this Independence Day weekend.

Last night our local Seminole Casino treated us to a rooftop pre 4th celebration that featured a quite impressive and immersive experience including projections, drones and fireworks.

Gorgeous Stratoliner, Joe.

Good late morning. This morning I have been busy and busy wearing hats.

Cheers to all hat folks, Eric -
That's a jawdropping series of hats, Eric. I think I'm going to faint.

I think this one is good quality.

Thanks! And what you said about confidence is the absolute truth. My wife says that the reason I can pull off wearing bowlers (my cool weather hat preference) and fedoras like this is my confidence level. I never had thought about it before but I think that’s correct.

Both of those look fantastic. That‘s a stunning color for a Stratoliner and it looks great on you. One thing I’m loving about my straw Stratoliner is that it‘s equally happy with a dressy shirt or a T-shirt. Way more versatile than I would have imagined. By the way you should both be paid by the makers of the hats you post here. Those are great pictures.

Thanks for the kind words. The Stratoliner is in its first season - maybe its third or fourth time out. I do like it a lot. I’d been looking at the hemp version (which I believe is what you have) when this Milan straw one came up on sale at the shop my wife was ordering a hat from, so I snapped it up.
