What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Thanks Steve!
You'd wear it better, of course.
Even in a shirt with pineapples.

You're far too kind John, btw. You wear all your hats like you own them. Can't wear a hat better than that.

Max, I have to ask then what you were doing with a hat that provoked an arrest able action. Oh no you didn't! ..... bet it was that cute fuzzy one too.

Hahahahaha!

I love a parade of panamas. Awesome Stefan!

 

[drmaxtejeda]

Hows the felt?

It's kind of thick. It has a very nice hand, though. Optimo Heirloom felts are thinner, denser, and easier to move around without being floppy. The difference to the touch is very minor, though. The difference in the price, however, is not. [emoji53]

I live a sheltered life Max. I've never ever felt the felt of an original Optimo felt.

I forgot to mention that not even Optimo's Heirloom Felts can compare to my best vintage Knox, MacLachlans, Borsalinos, Dobbs, etc.

Haha, Max... A good reference to the classics and to current events too. I am certainly more wizened and definitely more Gray. But thank you for that.

This new Dorian is rather long-winded and prone to outbursts.

There are people that don't understand our fascination with hats, too, you know. They're also scared and repulsed...

Charlie, it's not your hats that do that.

Greetings All:
Today....i’d like to thank you all for your always kind words. Special thanks to a couple gents who went way overboard in praise. Bless you.
Now....was comparing some fine Stetson felts we all love and quickly came to the conclusion that this one is severely under rated imho.
In a blind feely-felt test i’d say it would be easy to mistake this one for a 7X CB of the same era. Just my opinion.

Stetson Twenty-Five, late 50s, early 60s i believe.
Be well. Bowen
Ps: a little Devil Anse..ish at the end. Lol

 

[Frunobulax]

Shape, proportions, colours: it's got it all. Nice, Jim.

Thanks, it's a deep, rich brown in person.

My Optimo Public Enemies today. Depp has nothing on me, except maybe money, fame, good looks, talent, and women. Hmmm.

That is a really cool hat Max. Love it.
