What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[DaveProc]

That Seton Hall really turned out nice Stefan. Is that Imperial Homburg from the US or is it a European model? Sure is a nice one.


Man I love that brim shape Steve. Nothing finer than a Borso Lobbia!


Catching up from yesterday, almost missed this beauty. Love everything about this Sovereign!


This one is a lot finer than a '79 Ford Torino! Rust spots and dents and all


Very nice Knox Bill. We have vote by mail in Oregon so I don't get to dress up and impress them at the poling place. You will be a stand out!


Nice Akubra Dave. Our museum is going to have a docent on Fri/Sat this year. We got a chunk of money from the Hotel Tax in Albany to fund her. We will see if it is worth it.


Great looking VS Johnny, brim up for Bob!


Good choice for Halloween Perry, a scary black hat!


Love the color on that OR Michael. Interesting details on that cool jacket.


Good hat for inclement weather Richard. Classic look.

What museum is it? Do you have a link?

Earlier, I had to run over to the marina to pick up some ordered parts. I wore a smaller brimmed Stetson 7X Clear Beaver fedora. This hat has a WOW (charcoal) felt. It was a celebratory hat awarded to a long time Stetson Employee.

What is not to like in a smaller brimmed fedora? Short brims matter.

I just got home from running errands to the butcher and grocery stores. The preparation for Halloween has begun in earnest. A VS fedora was my hat of choice. This sahara hued beaver felt is stunning. It was my first custom hat and has been my companion on many adventures.

Bigger brims matter.

Early happy Halloween wishes folks. Best, Eric -

I am involved with the Monteith Historical Association. We have the oldest house in our hometown, built by pioneers in 1848. We do living history events and have it set up as it was in the pre civil war period. I still need to commission a custom hat with 1860s dimensions

Hey all!
'79 Borsalino Torino on a bright and gusty afternoon.

Have a great day!

Superb hat, John. Looks to be in great condition.

Vintage Knox that I unboxed today. Looked like a good voting hat. I’ll post more pictures in the Knox thread later. View attachment 142605 View attachment 142606 View attachment 142607

It sure is a good voting hat, Bill: it gets my vote!

Thanks Stefan. It's a fairly modern hat, from the 90s I think

Thanks again Stefan. I do like this one quite a lot.

Great choices. Was it a bit rainy there today? Got a bit of that here, but I beat it home on my bicycle by about 15 minutes.

That is a beauty, Steve. Puts a lot of panache into a grey hat.

Michael

Thanks, Michael. We did have some rain the last few days; almost forgot what it's like after this long dry summer.

What color is that Seton Hall? The hat and ribbon look almost copper colored on my screen and actually I really like that tone.

Thanks, RM. The felt is a rich brown and the ribbon is quite difficult to pin down actually, because it changes hue under different lighting conditions. Here's a shot of it from the original posting.

Happy Halloween, friends. The time is ripe for ghosts, goblins, witches and, of course...Demons!

This one might be getting rode a little hard today, but it won't be put away wet!

BOO!

The Seton gets my vote today, Stefan! Tell me more about that hat.

Thanks, Reggie. Mike (@Redfokker) found this one for me. Not an awful lot I can tell you about it, except that it apparently was custom made for the university of the same name, which still exists. Probably 1950's.

Very nice, Perry. I gather a black OR is much coveted?

Excellent combo again, Michael. Dig that shooting jacket.

Thanks, Mike. The Seton Hall is very versatile and a lovely easy grab hat. The Stetson Imperial was made under license by Failsworth in England. The quality is superb on these (maybe that's why I have two of them).

Been a while since I've posted a hat photo, I'll have to do better. The house remodel is moving into crazy mode next week so it's off to buy new faucets and a disposal for the contractor to install. Wearing my Barbisio no name in all of its soft, floppy glory. This hat has a mind of it's own, it is possessed! Perfect for Halloween!

Sometimes they just won't be tamed, Mike. Maybe you need to make a timelapse of it: see if it moves on its own.

Thank you, sir.

I don't have a witches' hat, but I'm fairly certain there was some black magic involved involved in making these velour hats (though rumors of human sacrifice were strongly denied).
