What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Rmccamey]

Thank you Bill, I'd forgotten you had that one. That's good too. The "purple" stands off the natural felt nicely.

Here is my Gannon natural with what Michael calls “slate” ribbon color.

That's interesting. In the USA everything is tagged for us in English and it's very rare to find any other script. Farsi was just a stab I took at it because of my impression paisley is Persian in origin, and another that Farsi is common to Persia. Both impressions, in fact, may be incorrect. I can't remember where they came from, so it must be ideas my mind constructed from bits and pieces of background information picked up here and there, most likely in reading.

You're right about the paisley pattern originating from Persia. The script just doesn't look like Farsi to me. Wherever it's from though, it's still a nice looking tie

Let's be Frank... the ubiquitous silver gray milan from that short window in the late 1950s when everyone wanted to look like this guy and every hat company offered just the ticket.

Nice little "Some Body". I had one about like that for years and never could get it to fit. I wet it and kept it on the stretcher all the time and it was always a half-size too small.

Spot-on, Alan. Looking good!

Love the tall crowns Bill.

Randy, here's a Stetson 20 mode edge that's as close to your request that I have. Started raining as I was taking outdoor shots. Ignore the spots.

My experience (three hats) is the same; they run a bit small. The company advises that the sweats shrink a bit, but even accounting for that I think they run small. I tried to reblock one but had no luck.

I thought he was showing us his new super extreme light-weight "whatever" hat
... so delicate, it's practically invisible

Ha ha
He’s a regular and a good guy over in the leather jacket threads.
I was just poking at him.

Nice post, as well as hat, Alan. I will have to ask my dad about it though, as I was one of those ubiquitous twinkles at the time.

The photo is from the "Come Fly With Me" era (1957). Sinatra wore Cavanagh, I believe, though Knox and Dobbs came from the same source. Stetson and others were in on the game too.

Have a good Monday,

Another beautiful side to side roll across the front of the brim. You shared a Homburg recently rolled the same way. I really like it.

I have a black stingy Milan with that broad, light, pug; a Dobbs. The silk is rather threadbare, and I think beyond salvation.

2/11/58. I must be right about the twinkle.
I should be careful. Bob might be blushing.

Nice hat:

Thanks Perry. I'll have to rewatch that movie one of these days. Nice looking Stetson you are wearing today.

If that hat were a little wider and whiter, Michael, and you could be in Earnest Tubb's band! Great look you have today.

Thanks Randy. He did seem to like a white hat. And better Ernaest Tubb than Ernest T. Bass.

Thanks, Hat. That's a nice looking milan you have on today.

Thanks all,
Michael

Sinatra, no one better or above. Right now though Alan, I think many of us would love to look like you in that fantastic iconic 50s silver grey. Wonderful look, great lid.
