What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Lost Cowboy]

Very nice hat !! I am expecting my "Dallas " to arrive in the mail tomorrow. I hope it's as nice as yours !
* the jacket looks good on you too

Thanks Timmy!

I hope you'll let us know if the felt is clay-like. I have two Dallas models (the other is a Mallory Twenty) and they both shape without steam. Seems like every other one I've heard reported on in the Lounge was the same.


Whatever you get, I hope it's to your liking!

 

[The Lost Cowboy]

WOW!!!! Terrific hat, FABULOUS jacket!!!

Thank you Voo! We miss your posts on this thread - it seems you found a home over on the Westerns thread. Glad you are still visiting us here, though!

PDS, If you look at most "reply" posts, they usually contain a link/snippet to the member post being replied to. For instance, in my post that you're asking about, you SHOULD be able to see what I've copied below. That indicates I was replying to RickP's post, and you could click on "View attachment" to see whatever picture I was commenting on.

Nice! can the Akubra Bogart come over to play too?

Stetson Balibuntal - a parabuntal weave featuring some unknown process of weather protection. This is a very durable and comfortable hat that is one of my most worn summer toppers. It orignally came to me with a maroon paisley pugaree that was nice looking with the bronze straw but it was rumpled and soiled. I replaced it with this cream band. 1950s I imagine...

This AI sounding PDS is getting on my bloody nerves, Mates!

Bloody interesting Hat Mate

Hmmm, I didn't consider the AI angle on my post above...

Nah, you wouldn't, Mate. Who would, Mate. Nice hat, Mate.

It (PDS) has sent me a PM. Not much to say other than, "good day, Mate."

I don’t believe PDS is AI guys - just has a different style of communication is all. He’ll figure his way, I advise patience and a welcoming attitude until there’s any clear sign that something is truly amiss.

@PDS, there is a thread called “New Members to the Hat Forum”. I’m putting a link here. You might add a post there and tell us where you’re from and what kind of hats you’re interested in!

New Member to the Hat Forum

Hello to everyone here at the Fedora Lounge. I am amazed nearly every day at all of the beautiful hats y'all post. I have a modest collection of vintage fedoras from different makers, a couple of custom made just for me ,as well as a fedora that Randall Renshaw reworked for me. I've been...

Also, if you haven’t seen them already, we have a couple of dedicated Akubra threads you might like if you’re an Akubra fan. We have a lot of members who appreciate and collect Akubra (myself included).

Here's a thread to keep up with all the Akubra's. Sort of a documentation to keep up with all the styles and actual pics of these wonderful lids perched on our heads. I borrowed the title from a post by Carter...:D Here's my Adventurer...purchased from Outback Outlet in Pa. It's a really...

Thanks Steve. I am sorry to hear about your sister. I hope she is making progress toward full recovery.

Thankfully, I am having a LOT more good days than bad, but I still suffer from vertigo and mental confusion and I just can’t drive a semi-truck with those symptoms. I really don’t want to do anything else with the next five years of my life but drive and save money so I’m very determined to get back to full health.

Do you have the expression “squeeze the thumbs” in Denmark? It’s the German equivalent of “fingers crossed.” I hope you’ll squeeze the thumbs for me - it will be two years in August since I had COVID.

I’ll be squeezing my thumbs, too.
I look forward to seeing more of your travels in the Fedoras Afield thread in the not too distant future.

 

[DonR]

Yay felt plus shorts! But we gotta see the legs!!!

I had taken the day off to spend with our granddaughter.

Thank you Gary, that is very kind of you.

I am a bit concerned about this next expedition but I have three weeks scheduled on a beach in Thailand so not too much moving one place to another.

Will definitely be posting some updates from time to time and I’ll even be spending my first night in Japan on the way over!

Shorts, a felt hat and a half-pint - classic combination, I love it!

You look great Don, enjoy your day!

Tokyo, I presume.
If it’s in Kansai, maybe we could compare hats over a quiet one!

Yes, Tokyo. I’ve been in that airport before but this will be my first time through customs.

Kansai? For some reason I thought you were in Nagoya?

I’m in Wakayama, just to the south of Osaka. The Kansai airport is on the Wakayama side of Osaka, so really easy to get to.

Good to know - maybe on my flight back. Not sure when that will be but I’d love to catch up. Thanks for the invite - btw, make mine a root beer or a cuppa, please!
