What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Frunobulax]

Nice, Jim! I see what you nean about the colors.

I wonder what The Waverly refers to. Wasn't it a famous restaurant or hotel in New York, or some other landmark? I heard of it in the lyrics of "Frank Mills" a song I love in "Hair", and I've wondered what it is.
"I met a boy called Frank Mills, on September twelfth right here, in front of the Waverly"...

I'm not even certain it's the model, Max. However, it's on an affixed tag (looks like one of those old price tags, like Kresge used to use), so I've rolled with it. And I don't know what it might refer to, either.

I likely know as much or more about Daltons than anybody on the forum. That ain't bragging, because it's only a thimble full of info. Everything I do to try to date them is wild speculation; however, we learn a little more with each one that turns up. The OPA tag on yours means it's the only one we have we can give any kind of date range.

Then there's the "America's Finest" vs. World's Finest on the logo. When did it change? Which came first? Why did it change?

I resolve to find enough of them that I can figure this stuff out.

Afternoon errands found me in a vintage Stetson Stratoliner.

I really like the charcoal trim on that whiskey Gannon, Eric, very nice. It's one of those combinations I wouldn't have thought of, but it really looks sharp! I always enjoy seeing the variety of hats you have.

Wow Bob! That is impressive. The insides of this one are as pretty as the outside felt.


The liner embroidery is what draws me to this Dalton. The colors are so bright and new looking.


Great dimensions on this Gannon. It really needs to be in the dedicated thread for everyone to try and copy. Great hat Regan!


I really love the ribbon on this Twenty Max. Perfect match to that felt color.


The sweat is really special on this one John. Super Supernatural!

Thanks Mike!
It's the best sweat out of all my straws and most of my felts. Great hat all around.

You should get yourself a black '67 Impala to go with that Supernatural.

Doesn't matter. You could still sit in it and be cool.

My mom had a '67, but not w/ that engine. It had a 283.

The bridge was completed in 100 BC, and the Via Postumia from Genoa to Aquileia passed over it. It is the oldest bridge in Verona, so it has seen even worse times, but it is still in its place

Meno male. Madosca, che fiume.

Stami bene, Daniele.

Awesome hats today (wow, @Short Balding Guy). Went with my charcoal Borsalino today.

Great Strat and great Gannon. I have a Granite Gannon with the charcoal trim in the queue...hoping for a very Merry Christmas myself!

Great to see you Adrian! That Borsalino is sweet.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that! I did post a few different photos in the Gannon thread.

Love the brim shape on this Borsalino Michael. I'm going to be hanging around the shack today as well. Think I might have what Max has been battling.

Thanks Red. Hope you are feeling better.

That's a dandy of a Strat, Eric. Got any side view pics?
