What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Now that's the kind of vintage I like to see!

Stefan, Thank you! Definitely agree.

So weather, life and an untimely Fedora Lounge crash yesterday stood in my way of posting one more larger brimmed hat along with the first day of StingyMas!

So while yesterday would in fact be the official start of StingyMas (according to the great StingyMas almanacs) I wanted to give this beauty a wear before my self imposed Stingy run.

Definitely worth sneaking that one in.

StingyMas is an 11 day celebration to show love for our hats of Shorter brim Started with our lounge friend Mike @Redfokker. For anyone wanting to join in the celebration there are no set “stingy brim” rules.. other than that it would be hats at the shorter brim end of our collections. One man’s stingy may be another’s wide brim and vice versa. For me… I’ll shoot for brims under 2 inches.

I will start out this year’s celebration with one of the hats that started it all for me in my love of vintage Fedoras… one that for whatever reason… I don’t think has made it into my StingyMas celebration in previous years. I had set out to find something like Raymond Reddington (James Spader) wore on The Blacklist. $5 or $10 on eBay several years ago got me started with this dark brown Royal Stetson clocking in just under 2 inches at about 1 7/8

The main event! An auspicious start to StingyMas, Joe. Looking forward to following it from Aotearoa.

As Joe said, one man’s stingy…
There used to be a guy on here whose profile signature was something like “anything under three inches is a stingy brim”. I miss his posts.

Joao. He was in Portugal.

My true love sent to me. A couple of rather nice Aloha shirts.
She's yet to master millinery.

That’s awesome - I love wearing brims between 1 1/2 and 2 3/8 as a general rule, so the majority of my hats would qualify! I’m wearing one now that’s less than 2” so maybe I should post it.

 

[Gary in NC]

Whew! I’ve not been here very much the past few weeks due to overwhelming work demands, but I’m getting caught back up now so I’m back! I just received a 60’s Stetson yesterday that was absolutely filthy and out of shape, but it cleaned and shaped up nicely enough that I’m wearing it today.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Yesterday morning I wore a Stetson Playboy.

Home last night sport'n a Stetson 7X on a late night walkabout.

Out and about this morning under a Akubra CD (bluegrass).

Cheers, Eric -

Probably my stingiest, a Gary White creation using a NOS Mallory (?) felt with a Cavanagh edge….

Hi Gary, the idea came about a couple years back that even though shorter brimmed hats don’t often get as much love around the lounge and vintage hat community... Red and I had decided to take some time in December to showcase hats of shorter brim that were still made with excellent quality.

That's a great looking Wormser.

Love the liner. The sweat looks supple and in great condition.

Glad to see you joining in the StingyMas fun, Robert.

Very kind of you to say so, but I have a confession to make. This evening I went to an informal party given by my tailor. Not to be confused with the lady who makes most of my clothes and whose name is Mrs Taylor.

The stingy brim was replaced, as was the Aloha shirt.
