What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

A Knox 15 is nothing to scoff at; a beautiful hat to be sure.

My Knox 15 is a fedora, but a favorite nonetheless.

Amen to that...and that hat. A favorite of mine too!

IIRC, your Dobbs 20 (?) is a close cousin, isn't it?

Absolutely. The unique color that changes in the light combined with that contrasting ribbon define a class all it’s own. Your’s has been an archive pic for a long time for me.

If you ever want to sell that one, my friend, yo me apunto en la lista de espera.

Ay, ay, ay.... no estoy seguro si alguna vez lo voy a vender....

The first bit of Spanish I ever said at the front desk when I worked at the county Housing Authority: La lista de espera no se mueve.

I love your Dobbs, Bowen.

This one reminds me of a whisky felt... but a green hue come out, especially if I wear this with my moss green fleece jacket.

Thanks, from a fellow Fifteener.

And +1 to the others' comments on yours. That is a great hat!

Hahahaha. Cuento con ello. I mean, I would be first on it should it ever become active, right?

Love the shape of this Optimo, and especially the contrast between the crown ribbon and brim binding.

What would you say the color is for the brim binding?

Would love to see a full shot of the crown ribbon treatment...

Thanks, it a nice one for sure. The brim binding seems like a light brown / orange color. Here’s another shot with better lighting:

Steve, thanks. Your Habig today is a beauty.

Stefan, Thank you!

I love seeing this again... such an incredible find. Now we have to keep an eye out for the plates that lay down the red and green... 8^)

Alan, Thanks! Unfortunately that one wasn't included.

 

[drmaxtejeda]

That’s a great one! I also selected an Optimo today.

Which model and felt is that Optimo, Tonio?
It's one of their demi-westerns, isn't it? I forget what they call them.
P.S. I wish Graham Thompson would figure out a way to resurrect a felted edge. If anyone can, it is he.

Thanks Jeff! The band was done by Gayle Greene and the slide by her partner (and long time friend of ours) Jimmy Begay. They did work for the Hatsmith (now closed?) and O'Farrell in Santa Fe.

Bob, JD [Hatsmith] is still in Santa Fe. Mike and I visited him last June while in Santa Fe.
He is back working for Milton of Montecristi Hats.

Here is a shot of where JD is at.

Good to know Rusty! I was in there a couple of times, but didn't stay long as I was afraid I would drool on one of the hats and they'd make me pay for it.

You can only wear it more in! So nice.

Yesterday was a snowy day hovering around 4’f. I wore a wool cap from Cordova caps. Be safe out there folks.

Best, Eric -
