What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Hat and Rehat]

We habe a very unique type of thrift store here called Good Will Outlet World. It's a massive warehouse and everything is in wheeled carts/tubs that are about 5'x0'. There are 8 or nine rows of them, about 10 tubs long. Everything is just piled in them, and you go dig around. Picture dumpster diving!
Most things you pay $1.29/# for, but glass is cheaper and heavy items top out at $8 or $5.
Every once in a while they roll two rows of the carts out and bring in replacements. An official yells at everyone to stay back, then allows them to line up along the carts, then shouts "shop!"
Picture one of those scenes from a third world dump.

You never know what you'll find there. I have found a couple of decent Westerns.
Today I happened to find a Red Army hat.
Note that it seems to be size 59. It fits like a 57.
I've heard they used to send extra large condoms to the West marked S. This propaganda is puzzling.

Maybe someday I'll learn how to edit and correct my miskeys without posting a second copy.

Superb hat, Steve and in such a great condition! Nice find.

Stefan, Thank you! As usual, a great series of hats from you. Super light weight Borsalino "Palladio" is especially fantastic!

Good morning. A VS fedora (inspired by the vtg. Stetson Weston (Whippet with different edge treatment)) in silvermist was what I chose to wear on my morning soiree.

Best, Eric -

I like the hat a lot. It piques my curiosity to source one sized for myself, a short bald fellow. Of course the bar pics are more accurate - when are not pics and opinions not better or more accurate than at a bar with a fav beverage. Thanks for sharing the hat.

Eric, I think you would look good with an original crease on an OR, or one of the blocked 3x6's.

And remember, you judge the true worth & character of a man by the way he swirls the whiskey in his glass.

Your silvermist pics always look good against the blue spruce trees.

Jack; How about this 7X in a cattleman's crease? I wear the hat around my wife's horse friends. Glad you enjoy the silvermist pics.

Now that 7XCB is a great hat! You should wear that more often & not just around her friends. As much as you enjoy being in the outdoors, it's a natural!

Outstanding! I've already mentioned to you before that I think you look great in these western dress styles. This one is no exception. Great hat.

Very nice Michael. Looks like you were in a green mood today.

Thanks Perry. Yes, I was digging through some summer clothes I hadn't looked at this year and green stood out. Love the Adam your are wearing today. A really great looking hat.

Thanks,
Michael

Spending the day at the Oregon Coast visiting family. It is going to be cool and windy. Perfect day for my 1980s Dobbs Milan (fake poly material). Pretty bullet proof for 15 mph winds.
