What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

Well, weeks like this don't come around often for me. Two great hats came into my possession within a few days of each other and I get to share them with you. Yesterday was my first outing in a new-to-me vintage Stetsonian, courtesy of Greg. Yesterday, thanks to a hot tip from uber enabler @Bob Hufford, I unwrapped and pulled from an old and slightly beat Disney box, a late 40s/early 50s Imperial Quality Stetson that seems to be the model "Sportsman."

I haven't had this much fun since I dated the Robinson twins!

This one features a felted ribbon, raw edge, and is a substantial felt in a "Suede Finish."

Thanks for the tip, Bob!

Can't speak for the twins, but the hat is worth the sin for sure. Love these suede finishes.

This is the second Borsalino I have in this color. The felt is medium weight, malleable and finished with a "peachy" surface

In the sun you see the differente shades of this light brown and cream melange.
Thanks for the likes on the "Trionfo"
Buona giornata

Another beauty, Daniele. That ribbon is just an extra nice touch, without being over the top.

Thanks, Stefan. Yes, it's a great finish.

Hückel ultra velour hat made for the U.S. market. A little large for me at 7 1/4 but it's wearable on a windless day and a stunning example of how fine a post-war hat can be.

Back to work in a vintage Stetson Avenue. Got to love a green hat!

I selected another unique edge treatment fedora for the afternoon/evening.

Best, Eric -

Eric:
I believe you have just helped me identify a mystery hat that has stymied me for a couple years. Mine is missing the sweatband. Is this hat posted elsewhere in detail? If not could you post pics of the tags and brim stitching? Is the brim 2 3/4” with a 3/16” overwelt? I would appreciate any info on this wonderful hat.
Thank you. Bowen

That turned out better than I expected Jim! Good get...

It is another stunner, Alan. Fritz knew what he was doing alright.

Let's just say they were good "church going girls" I met when I was in the Boy Scouts and we had our weeklies on Wednesday "go to meeting" nights at a local LDS congregation. [emoji6]

Possibly a new dark thread is in order. Nothin wrong with Glory Days!

It was an ear protection day on the farm, so I couldn't wear anything with a brim (even a stingy one!). So today hauling apples in from the field in the bush hat...

Keep taking selfies on the tracks and you may not be around to take any more pictures ever! haha

It was parked. It was a special train.

I've been REAL busy lately. This was taken last weekend at a local restaurant right next door the winery. The hat is a vintage Cervo.

Great shape to that one, Doug. Goes well with the jacket too.

Thanks, love your blue lids today! I love me some blue felt!

Best, Eric -

I have a “The Avenue” that just got from Justin. But mine is a Vita Felt. Is yours a Vita Felt?

I just love the name of this Stetson model. I just cries for a "Press" pass stuck in the ribbon! The Daily Planet!


Truly a blue beauty Alan. I noticed this one this morning on FB. Good to see it again. Love that ribbon!!


Wow oh Wow Bowen! That color is superb, Agata is a new one. The translation is Agate, which is appropriate for this tone. You have a winner, my church ladies would approve, you will have to send it to me so they can see it though.


No need to be deflated, these are excellent presentations. That Game Bird is really nice.


That SLS just rules!


Sorry to hear about the disaster. Good that everyone is OK. That hat may pick up a smoky smell if you are not careful.


Nice Fred, good to see your daily hats.


Very casual of you Michael. That porker kind of tops it all off.


I love the ribbon cording on this Champ. Such a great hat.


Very impressive Brent! Are you going to keep it like that or use it for a conversion?

Thanks Mike!
