What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[AbbaDatDeHat]

A two hat day for me as well. With all the green hats posted the last few days, and the warmer weather here, I had to start my day with a Peacock green Stratoliner. Wonderfully soft and light.

This is a great vintage Stratoliner Randy.
I love the color. Would love to see it in bright light sometime.

...but sometimes work calls and today I had to feed the cows and the rest of my animals. I switched over to my 80's Gun Club model in chocolate with a horse hair ribbon...one of my working hats.

These cattle look like Longhorns but they are smaller. These are Pineywoods cattle, a heritage breed that pre-dates the Longhorn. There are only about 2000 in existence. The Pineywoods cattle were introduced in the U.S. many centuries ago and were left or abandond and had to fend for themselves for over 100 years thus they became well adapted to the heat and humidity in the southeastern U.S. Growing up in the "Piney Woods" of the southeast U.S., they became "Pineywoods" cattle. For some of you old timers, these are also called Rakestraw cattle as they are adept at "raking" the ground in the winter to find fresh grass under the dead brush and overgrowth. For cattle of this breed with documents placing them in Florida, these cattle are also known as Florida Crackers or cracker cattle.

Way cool cattle Randy!
Are they a hobby or a living?

Your wish is my command!

It seems to take on a bit more gray color in direct sun.

Nice! That color looks like it’d go with about anything.

Just a hobby. I'd be dead...or broke...or both if I tried to raise cattle for a living! i've lived on and around farms all my life but hauling hay and working cattle in high school were the two biggest motivators for me to get a college education. I love the country lifestyle andI have a huge respect for those who live off the land. I myself cannot do what a real farmer or rancher does; they have skills and strength and stamina and a way with plants and animals that I can only dream about.

Way cool cattle Randy!

Very cool Randy. Thank you.
You can join @Rockwater and Eric, @Short Balding Guy, i believe, in the lovely green Stratoliner Club.

I do like it. Good looking, light weight, and very comfy. Thanks. Oh, and this one has the OPS tag, so I can get pretty close to a date on it.

Nothing like an unlined summer hat in January.

If you think I look somber in these you should see my drivers license.

How do you have room for all those (great) wide brims? Is your house really a Tardis?

Stetson Temple in Mink, not sure if @Bamaboots will approve the shark skin ones

Very cool Camp Draft. How do you like the felt on it? I have always read good things about Akubra.

Very cool Pineywoods Cattle Randy, didn't know you raised those. One of the oldest breeds in the U.S. !

Love the green Strat too, don't think I've seen you post that one. I'm starting to like the green hats.

Today, a hat that doesn’t get much head time I’m afraid. This vintage Knox superfine came with me today but it’s a 7 5/8. My head is a 7 1/2. When I’ve tried to shim it the sweat buckles, no matter where I place the shim. It works as is, but it’s very loose. Pics are from out and about but one. The first is from home, sitting on a ‘64 Ampeg b-15n.

Terrific pics of that piece of Art. Grand hat!



I love seeing your velour hats Steve. The silver velour ones are my favs! Thanks for sharing your collection.



Looking sharp in your hat. I do appreciate how you pair your patterned attire.



Dang your handiwork is fine! Excellent ribbon treatments. I do look forward to your radio pics.



Dave; A pleasure to see your posts. I hope all is well with you and your family. Penman red cherry is back!

Thank you, Eric!
