What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Innards, please, Bill? I've never heard of those.

It's a Christys, Max. One of the great Manchester hat makers.

It is from the Wildfowl Mixture line and is composed of two different colors. The primary color is Eider Green (Eider is a large sea duck) with the secondary color being Woodcock Brown (Woodcock is part of the sandpiper family).

I have not been able to find any information about these “Wildfowl” hats. I can’t even determine if they were ever even sold in the United States. This one came from England. The only reference I have found is a sales ad in a newspaper from Sydney Australia dated March 31, 1954. I have the original box and the date on shipping label is 28 May 1957. Found out the V is for May.

Fantastic, Bill. Then again, I'm not impartial as far as Manchester hat makers are concerned [emoji4]

It's a win-win situation. If we do, great. If we don't, more stingies for us [emoji4]

Feeling quite regal under America's Finest Hat, generously gifted to me by a fellow Lounger a few years ago.

That is one fine lid, Jim. Love the liner. Admire the wearing of the back pinches. That really challenges my perceptions of hat wearing. Even more so than a Bowler with a t-shirt [emoji4]. I'm definitely going to have to try that. The back pinches that is, not the t-shirt and Bowler [emoji145]

What's that white thing, Bob? 'Scuse me ignorance.

Are you talking about my pasty complexion or the ice that is pushing up through plant stems after a few inches of rain followed by a cold snap?

Don’t be too fearful. They don’t come with directions, but we all figure it out pretty quickly. Good luck.

In the old days we had Dr. Spock, nowadays you have Dr. YouTube. No fair!
You’ll be fine @J Williams.

Sorry to disappoint, Steve, but the dent in the back was inadvertant. I think I did that brushing it before I left.

Some of the best results occur through experiment accidents, Jim [emoji4]

Busy day today, cooking Sunday dinner for the masses and playing/sorting records still so no hat until now. About to finish up on the grill in my old Stetson bowler. The sweat had completely disintegrated so Art blocked it and restored it for me. Hardly ever wear it, not quite confident enough I guess. Also I just brushed it and recently and it didn’t look dusty in the house! Have a pleasant WARM Sunday y’all.
