What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Everyone looks great in their spiffy hats today. Here’s what I’m wearing to go uptown to put some hard earned cash in the bank.
Glue down engineered flooring is rough on the knees! Still have another three or four days of it, too.[emoji15] View attachment 195694 View attachment 195693 View attachment 195692

Thanks,Steve. I sure like the hat you have on today! Don’t know about you, but that one’s my fav! ...so far.
I like that this hard hat was sold from Johnson city, Tenn. as I have a few pickin’ buddies from there.
It’s near mint for a tens/twenties bowler...except for the frayed trailing ends of the bow.

It sure looks in good condition. Always a bonus if it has a connection to something close to home. Pickin' buddies you say. Banjo by any chance?

Today David Morgan Akubra Adventurer.On my way to the auto parts store,have to repack some trailer bearings.

Aha! I knew if I did enough digging I’d find a picture of the elusive moonstone version of the DM Adventurer. Very nice looking hat!

Unlined Cavanagh while out for lunch with my son at a “joint” that has been around forever (holds the city’s oldest liquor license), but goes up for auction next week. Hope the new owners don’t change a thing.

Johnson city is a long hike from the Georgia bottoms, but considering the distant planet where you are from, I suppose they are relatively close by. [emoji4]
One of ‘em can play a banjer pretty fair, but he’s mostly a fine guitar player. The other one can start fires on the mandolin.
Also, though not a friend, a guitar player who is famous in the contemporary Bluegrass scene lives there, Tim Stafford.
At least I think he’s living there now.

Yes, I'm going to reference this years-old post too. Reason being I'm interested in the work you did on the brim of your DM Adventurer. The downturn in the back brim is largely what keeps me away from this hat, but you seem to have rectified that issue. Did it take more than steam and the standard amount of patience to get the brim out of that downward swoop?

Sounds like a great group for a Bluegrass band, Randall. When I said close to home, I didn't mean it literally. I should have said close to heart, apologies. Cool friends. I'm an amateur banjo player myself (very amateur). Clawhammer though, not bluegrass, though I do enjoy both styles.

Clawhammer? Y’all are clawing banjers way over yonder?? Wow! So, what style are you playing ... Old Time, Folk, Appellation Folk,
String band, Grandpa Jones Frail, or some kind of Denmarkian drop thumb style? [emoji3]
That’s awesome that you play! What kind of banjo do you own?
Judging from your fine collection of vintage hats I’d guess you have a really fine vintage open back?

Greetings All:
Today.....it’s my very first fedora.
An RSP, probably early 60s when Stetson still felted a fine fedora.
The lounge started me off right.
Thank you folks.
Be well. Bowen

Funny thing,I'm wearing that hat today.Pictures lie.It has a slight upturn to the back of the brim.Although I'm pretty sure I could get it to turn down.It would just take a little work.

OK, thanks for the info! I might pick up a DM Adventurer someday and make that brim a "project."

We won’t “pick” on you Steve.
Most aren’t “picky” like that.

Thank you. This is one of Michael's earlier efforts, back before he had a website, only etsy. I like what he did with the burgundy ribbon and navy binding.
