What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[jonesy86]

Can you sense my envy? When is the move? Your Country Club looks great.

After a few weeks of fussing with my Country Club, I took a warm (not hot) iron and a cotton cloth and and reshaped the polypropylene brim. I was afraid I’d melt it but it actually responded great. I love that hat in the summer... and now we’re back to envy.

Thanks DH, I have gotten several good tips on hats from you. I arrive on Kauai New Years Eve wearing a plastic Panama and a Hawaiian shirt. My daughter said it was a real dad outfit, and that I would look like a tourist. I don't care, I'm going to head straight to the beach and go swimming anyway.
Peace!

Sorry off topic, can’t resist it, but this is what i‘ve been up to. Watching Willow potty train the new baby.

Thanks Jeff. Easy color to wear. We did not get the big snowfall amounts like your area. The snow, rain and then snow has given us slippery conditions everywhere. I would rather have had big snow. Cold snap should be on us by tonight. Stay warm Jeff.



Thanks sir. I have several different "like" Adams hats from different years and hues. This one is a 50's hat. Some day I need to get a family shot together. Below is a couple of pic from many years ago. Incomplete family pic ( a couple non-gilled hats also shown), but shows some of the variations. I have accumulated a couple more of the gilled hats and really need to make time to gather them in one place.

The poor pic (from early in my forum days)and poor quality does not show the felt hues. New pics are due.

Best, Eric -

As we used to be able to say... "You are really stacked!"

I haven't decided if it will be able to make the trip downtown with me today or not. Supposed to be 20+ mph winds.

Have a fine Friday,

The gray of that Stetson really tops off that outfit! Outstanding!

Greetings All:
Today...wishing everyone a Merry Happy in between Holidays day.
Trying out the Stratoliner Vita-Felt of the 40s. Unlined, unreeded, wish it still had the tip sticker.
Be well. Bowen
Ps: as always my appreciation for all the kind words from each of you.
Pss: Santa brought me a gorgeous Sugar White Sugar Plum Stetson Last Drop. Sweet!!

Gorgeous Bowen. Great shots with Willow, made me smile this morning.

Wow, what a great suit, love the sweater vest and coat too Michael. And the hat ain't bad either.

Thanks Perry. Great looking Strat for you today. I haven't found one of those yet.

The suit is I think, an early '50s custom number that I'm pretty sure is handwoven Donegal. The sweater vest was made in Scotland. And the coat is an early '40s model. The hat being 1950s. Probably one of my favorite combos for cold weather.

Irish suit, Scottish sweater, American hat. Can't go wrong! I love Donegal tweed.

I’ve got both of those if you need any

Love the photo of the rug rat. You are a lucky guy!

Great color combo on that Strat Perry. Looking good.




All of your conversions are spectacular Terry. I don't have any problems with narrower brims, but I respect you and Bill for your opinions on this. With the towering straight crowns you produce, I do agree that they kind of need that little extra brim width to balance it out. The 2 1/2" is still a great hat, hell, I'd wear it on a daily basis!

Thank you, buddy! Some people can pull off those 2 1/2 brims really well and look d*mn good in them. It's a great hat for someone who can pull it off better than I can.

 

[T Jones]

Great looking hat, even if it doesn’t match up with your preferred brim consistency. Good to keep around to mix it up once in awhile maybe?

I could definitely do that.

We have tickets to the only showing of Peter Jackson's (Hobbit director) WWI Movie, "They Shall Not Grow Old". Very excited about seeing this one. He is a WWI Historian as well as a Hollywood Director, this one is right up his alley. Figured a 100 year old stiff felt was the ticket.

How was the movie?

How was the movie?

I posted a "review" for Bill last night, post #6860 It was the highlight of my season.

Saying good bye to a tank full of fish today. I'll be tearing down my tanks for a couple of months. Kind of sad, but a new 125 gallon tank is on the horizon, so its all good. Wearing a beater Steven L. Stetson for the job.

Sitting in Houston waiting on a plane for Panama City, Panama, then on to Ecuador to visit the in-laws.

I brought a Wormser poly Milan weave with a new burgundy pug to brave the heat, and the rain.

Are they going to "live on a farm"?

I didn't get a chance to carve out any time to see it. However I read today it's going to go into general release soon due to its popularity.

When you flush will any of them make it to the ocean like Nemo did?

Like Rufus Thomas, I'm walking the dog. Unlike Rufus, I'm wearing a Bluegrass Green Camp Draft.
