What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

A little sartorial experiment for a dinner dance this evening. Probably not appropriate, but I liked the way it complimented the dinner jacket. Dobbs Optimo natural color.

If that doesn't win "best dressed man in the room" we want to see the winner!

I actually didn't wear a hat yesterday, daytime, as I was outdoors doing very dirty things, and my follically-challenged head is paying for it now, as it was 85 degrees and sunny.

Last night, however, as the temperatures dropped, I wore my cream w/rust ribbon Royal Stetson for a night out.

The hat is beautiful, but that ribbon lifts it to another level, Scott.

Wearing my latest conversion project this a.m. This one started out as a 7 3/8 Longhair Stetson 4X Western that I blocked down one size and converted to a fedora. The crown is tall and straight with a tight pinch and is creased to my preferred Teardrop. I went with a 2 5/8 brim width this time around as opposed to my usual 2 3/4 width. I have more in the Conversion Corral...

Great work again, Terry. That hat was lucky to have you rework it.

Happy Decoration Day, all. Enjoying the day off and thinking of those who served and gave. My father was a corpsman in WWII in France. Thank goodness he came back or I wouldn't be here. So many didn't.

Dobbs Hanover Square and a portion of oinker who did give his or her all for the cause (mah belly).

Please be careful not to stain that Dobbs, Jim. You never know with rabbits.

Wearing a casual 1950s Lees of London fedora in a nice blue today. They are finally going to MRI my screwed up back. I have been in pain since the middle of February, due to the remodel. I have been rather useless for a couple of months. The pain has caused me to neglect my family here on the Lounge, for this I am sorry.

Good to see you, Mike. The glorious blue Lees looks good as usual.

Great, hats, ties, jackets, and overcoats as always, Stefan. As usual, it's impossible to pick a winner.
Enjoy your trip to Budapest.
