What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[deadlyhandsome]

A more cold day with brigth sun, more spingtime than hotter days of last week

Etablissements Ecuyer & Thomas - Chazelles s/ Lyon, homburg (diplomatique) made in France before the WWII

No other indications, neither paper label, only the size 6o cm or 6 1/2 for the French hats mesurements

The felt is very thin and soft and the color is a violet-burgundy

Proportions are generous: brim at 6,5 cm and crown at 11,5 cm, no lining only a tip

The wisteria on my back is starting to flourish, in some days it will be complete
Thanks for all the likes and kind words of the last week

The shape is wonderful, but it’s the color that took my breath away. Wowsers!

Excellent, Steve. Let's see how long you can keep a different hat each day going...

Stefan, Thank you! I will see how long I can go. Fantastic series of hats from you!

Waiting around at PDX in my Stratoliner Milan.

I just dislike the waiting around, the lines, the showing of documents and the attitude of some of the people who check them.
The flight itself I still marvel at.

I’ll be taking this Premier Stratoliner for her maiden voyage today. Got this hat yesterday, and I’m really impressed by the soft and light felt on this new Stetson. I guess it shows that Stetson or Hatco or whomever is making these can still put out a pretty sweet lid. This is with an off-the-cuff dry bash. I’ll walk her around a bit and then give it some steam. I like the cattleman crease on this hat...a Cattoliner!

Yes, and it's too bad it appears those open crowns have been discontinued.

A fuzzy hat for a cool morning. This long haired felt is heavy, but very pliable. It is a Stetson Royal De Luxe. I have not identified the model - yet. This is a first for me - a long hair fedora.

Thanks, Eric -

Super hat, Eric.

A new Limpia Creek hat for the sunny and mild weather in central Texas today.

A day late, so "what was I wearing yesterday"; the first in my nine-hat-haul from last week. A new-to-me medium gray 50's Dobbs with a slate/purple ribbon. This hat looks much darker inside. The fit and finish are very nice; like I've been wearing this my whole life. Brent @deadlyhandsome let me keep this one for it's next story in life.

Cheap Panama:

It does breathe well and I don’t feel compelled to be careful with it.

A two-hat day. My special hat; it is very smooth and firm but I've always had trouble getting it to look like a fedora. It is a vintage lid, however, as you'll notice the '57 Chevy fins on the back.

 

[Rmccamey]

Hey, it's genuine Panama man, what could be better than that!

Thanks, Eric -

I’m suprised this is your first long hair hat Eric.
Most excellent! It looks like a long haired Railbird to me!

Oh my Alan!
Now this is a hat, a hat of distinction.
Disney made such fine hats. And a Forty Class! Magnificent in all categories.
Thanks

Super hat, Eric.

Thanks. The hat wears well. I still at the glancing at the reflection stage of acceptance with this hat.

I’m suprised this is your first long hair hat Eric.

Yes, first long hair here. (Now before talk begins, in my youth I did have hair and even on occasion long hair on my head. No more. I do not fear hair.) I have not seen long haired hats in my estate sales, antique shop, vintage shop or surplus shops of any size in my neck of the woods. For some time I have been appreciating the longer felted hats shown on the comparison thread and on this thread. I am pleased to have this hat at home and have the opportunity to experience it. More of them.....we will see. You can never have too many hats.

Might try to get out on the bike this afternoon. Will have to find an Irish cap for that.

Have a great Tuesday,
Michael

Excellent hat and combo, Michael. I got to get me a coat like that.
