What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[DRB]

SeaWorld, wearing an Akubra Regency Fawn International. With my Grand daughter.

Winter Sun on my shoulders. Vintage Macy's Men's Store (NYC) light Olive Fedora with a 'Felted Edge.' Yup. Macy's Men's Store!

Nice hat.

And I was crying about -3.

-3 is cold enough for most purposes.

A Swedish patient in Chicago once told me that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing for it.

I'll agree with your Swedish patient. I did about 30 minutes of walking outside today and it was perfectly pleasant. 30 years ago I would have spent the day cross country skiing, but I'm not up to that anymore. Ha ha.

I think I had that exact parka while at Elmendorf AFB. Coldest I ever had to deal with was 70 below in Fairbanks on a work trip in 1976, can't even breath at those temps. You need "bunny boots" (the big white ones).

I thought it could be the very coat, Red, but alas, this one dates from 1982. I always envied my cousin's winter footwear when they were sporting bunny boots. I had to settle for pac boots. The coat and hat both worked well to keep my comfy on my outing today.

Postal delivery service was suspended due to the record breaking cold, so my mink envoy cap didn't show up today. Back to the balaclava which stood up really well. Be safe out there everyone!

Those are both great Joao! The American hat company hat has some really nice lines.

It had a cattleman crease but I changed it. Wish it had a higher crown...

the panda is stunning

From those two, the panda is the one. The AHC can be a better quality but I prefer the panda...

Yep, gotta love it!

Where's the fun in that, Red? I went walkabout instead. Very nice, except I overheated a bit. Today the temperature is lower. I think it was -24 when I got up. I'm very disappointed with the wind chill though, it was a paltry -38. i think I'll walk over and catch the next bus anyway.

Have a good one,

That outfit looks warm. Are the pants and coat a set?

Broke out the Carmack hat today. I had almost forgotten about this one. It was resting in a mesa pinch but I changed it to more of a Tom Horn, and I think that works better on my head. Mostly I stayed at home , but made a short sojourn to take my lady to the airport.

It was warm. When I was a kid I had a pair of USAF flight pants that would have been a closer match to the jacket, but this pairing is quite the opposite of a match. The jacket is a N-3B USAF jacket from the 80's and the pants are German Kriegsmarine leather engine room or foul weather pants. Not sure if they are original or reproduction as they are missing part of the label, but they appear to date from 1943. I wear them over heavy wool pants, or today my snowmobile suit, when I want absolute windproofness. The whole get up made for a very comfortable walk around town when the temps with windchill were in the -30s.

I really liked your Harris Tweed cap today.

Thanks, Michael. On my screen they looked like a match. Stay warm.
