What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

It has been a Gannon fedora weekend, so far.

Home from work on Saturday in time for snow removal. A Gannon Wanderer was my chore hat.

Home on Sunday from work and needed to use the snowblower and shovel. A Gannon Wanderer in steel gray was my choice.

Cheers, Eric -
Great gaggle of Gannons Eric!
 
Rawhide Felts (Byer- Rolnick) with what might be too much hatband action. I picked up the Indian Scout cord in Santa Fe at a garage sale from a guy who made them (from wool) for reenactors. Decided to toss them on this morning. Now I think I’m somewhere between Hornskov and Fouquet.

Happy Birthday, Gary.

Not so much scary Etsuko, more train robber out in the wild west :)

Probably not the perfect thread for this question, but I bought a brand new Stetson Temple. The edge of the brim isn’t smooth. Is this normal? It’s basically my first and probably last fedora. Thanks!

Just received a Temple in LT. Grey and it has the same fuzzies around the brim. Looked on the Stetson website and you can pick out the same fuzzies. And then I go to other hat shops and can definitely see a clean edge on the Temple’s pictures. So newer hats getting lowered finishing standards? I’m just going to sand mine out. The hat fits perfectly and I don’t want risk losing that fit.

I'm wearing this 6 5/8 No.1 Quality Stetson Western today, (except that I converted it to a 7 1/4 LO fedora). It sports a tall straight crown that's creased to a Tear Drop with a 2 3/4 snap brim. I scavenged the 6 ply mid-ribbon from a size 7 Byer Rolnick Western. The bow work and ribbon was all one piece. I had to wet it down to stretch an extra 1 1/2 out of it. The picture of me wearing the hat before I converted it is closer to the actual color.

Thanks, Steve.
Etsuko’s mask is more about mitigating hay fever symptoms in the record pollen levels we’re experiencing this year than a Covid precaution.

Thanks, Joe.
You only say that because you don’t have to listen to my wailing!

Having been to my fair share of karaoke nights (it’s even where I met my wife) It’s all about the fun!

Hard to believe those are the same hat. If mine today were any smaller. That’s how it would look on me.
