What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Tukwila]

Great hat. I really like the color, prominent crown and wide contrasting ribbon. Also, looking pretty cool with the new mustache and beard trim!

Thanks, D! Love your new Sovereign Twenty!

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 -

Ok, Eric, I am just trying to keep up with you. The Stetsons: Scoop, Fifteen and this Avenue are just wonderful. You have put me on classic Stetson overload! keep them coming. I know you got a few more to share with the crowd.

 

[Dlaniger]

Thanks... I've had it for a long time. It's perfect for those ten days we have here between summer and winter.

Indeed it is a sporty jacket and of course, the Huckle green velour with gills is off the charts. Very good look.

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

Bowen; I will have to forward pics of the inside labels tommorrow as the hat is at the gym, on my desk this evening. Coming soon.

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

No vita markers or labels on this hat. This hat's felt is a dress weight that is just the most malleable felt you have ever felt before. It can pop to open crown and be creased ever so easily.

That said, I am curious to the vita felt. It must be grand. The Avenue hat I have is just plain elegant. It is a downtown hat or class in that dynamite vintage green Stetson made popular in the 30-40's.

Thanks sir. I passed some traveling duties to other staff of late and it has allowed me to spend a bit more time mid day at home. I am very appreciate of the time I can spend at home enjoying my wife, dog, home and wearing hats/caps. We will have to see what I can un-box in the coming weeks.

I can not wait to see what you post up. Your matching cap/jacket today is truly stunning. I have taken notice and started appreciating wearing a vintage tie a few days a week. It has me reminiscing about the enjoyable moments I spent employed in Corp. America. Yes in the past I needed to wear more formal attire than I do almost every week presently. You and a couple other frequent contributors to this thread have regular contributions that showcase your more dressed attire. I take notice of the posts.

I am reminded tonight of the enjoyment I take from the showcase of folks who live and do different things than I typically do. We are different, but alike in our passion of hats/vintage stuff.

Post on folks. Best, Eric -

I didn't know you lived in southern California too.

Great snag Jim! I always thought that the Imperials were high end with all the bells and whistles. This is more understated than I expected. Wonderful hat to be sure, I guess there were different trim levels on all the models across the board. Love that suede finish, must feel wonderful.

Thanks. Not quite as elegant, perhaps, as Alan's, but this is obviously a high end hat from start to finish. There appears to have been a great attention to detail and the elements are very well turned out.

Should have worn this for Malrov Monday, but it didn't go with ensemble.

Hello, again, gents. Hope everyone is doing well!

Good to see you again MB! Impressive hat as always. Give me a heads-up next time Malrov Monday rolls around ... I can participate now.

Did not sleep at all well last night, so there may be a lot of napping today. I hope.

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!

Very cool hat Jim, but tell us more about the twins
