What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Amen to that, doc! Miss seeing you around.
Stay well, Max!

I miss Tapatalk!

That is one heck of a score, Joe. 5 bucks! Cool.
I love Blacklist, too. My eldest daughter says Red reminds her of me ;-)
You've got the one-eyed pose of to a tee by the way.

Stay well!

Thank you my friend. She has a keen eye. With the hats and the coats for sure... preferably with a bit less of the indifferent shootings though.

Hope you and yours are well.

Very cool guitar he has. I never got to meet Tony, seems he has spent most of the last 20 years on the east coast and not much time in Texas. He certainly Plays and Sings Bluegrass.

Thanks, Randy!
You’re correct, Sir. I have been very blessed these last few months and know from where and Who the blessings come.

I dig that Norman Blake tune and the crooked nosed guitarist who made it a classic. I’ve tried my best to emulate his unique style of picking...well, me and every other flat picker who’s ever heard Tony Rice live on stage!
Orphan Annie is another great tune on the Church Street Blues album, I think. Hard to believe, but I got to play that million dollar guitar of Rice’s one night after one of his awesome shows down in Gainesville, Fla.
Cool story.
Sorry to hear that you’re feeling down, Randy, but hopefully it’s just a temporary passing of the “Come And Go Blues”.

Hey Johnny,
Went looking for a shot of old and found one from 1981. I think it was the toughest Akubra I ever had apart from my Army slouch hat, my Hamptons couldn't take anything like the same punishment, nor my sons Angler.

Great hats folks. It is a pleasure to tune in the forum and view all the hat escapades.

With the announcement today that Florida will be on a stay at home order for at least the next 30 days. Seemed like the perfect time to begin 30 days to 30 hats. 30 hats 30 days no repeats. A feat I couldn’t even have considered when I joined the lounge 6 months or so ago... so I thank you all for your encouragement on that front.

(obligatory @Steve1857 one eye pose)

I’ll start with one of the first hats I purchased when I started wearing hats again about 3 years ago. The hats of James Spader’s character Raymond ‘Redd’ Reddington in the show Blacklist was what sparked my quest to start wearing hats again. (That and the ever diminishing follicle count on my head) Being that at that point I knew absolutely nothing about hats. I think I did fairly well on my first try with this Dark Coffee Brown Royal Stetson for about 5 bucks.

Royal Stetson - Dark Coffee Brown

1 7/8 brim with overwelt edge

2 inch grosgrain ribbon

4 3/4 crown at its peak as bashed

when this hat arrived I don’t think it had even ever been worn. It had it’s original factory center crease and no side dents at all. It took some coaxing over several months to hold em well without steam. This is a hat that needs to get worn more often for sure.

Joe; Great idea! You could increase the number of hats showcased by wearing a different hat for every chore. Could be a 100+ hat month! Seriously, nice hat sir.

Michael; You are looking sharp and cool as a summer cucumber. The hat, sport coat all the way to the gunboats on your feet are grand. Thanks for continuing to stay on top of your your sartorial game.


This morning I took the needed risk to head out to the grocery store. I ordered on-line and drove my car up at the appointed time and waited and had to call inside to remind them I was waiting for the boot of my auto to be loaded with the pre-paid groceries. I suspect they are just getting geared up for the increase of demand for this service. On the other hand, I have time! I wore a Gannon (bone felt) for my efforts.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -

Thank you Eric! Good idea on the 100 hat month. Though I am afraid I will have to defer to you on that feat... as I will be long dead and buried before my wife allows me to accumulate that many hats. Wonderful bone Gannon today.. just beautiful! and I love that Penny’s cap!!!

Dunlap Fifteen for the office today.

We had our first confirmed case of COVID-19 at work today. It was in the Plant, and I haven’t been out there for a while. Nothing in the office yet.....

Another great conversion, Terry. Hard to believe it's the same hat. I find the colour appealing especially with that longhair felt. Love the subtle ribbon and bow treatment, too.

Stay well, buddy!

Thank you buddy! Yeah, with that 6 ply ribbon I thought keeping the bow treatment as simple as possible would be the best route. Otherwise I'd have too much "going on" with the ribbon. Glad you you noticed that.

View attachment 224326 View attachment 224325 Here’s my first of 30...and one of my first real vintage hats. A Knox Westlite Twenty.
I like it a lot since Sewing on a campaign bow. I plan to sew on matching binding one day soon. I tried to offer a trade using this hat with a certain fella from Alabama.
So glad he ended up finding a Westlite a few days before I asked him about a trade, or I might be one unhappy swapper! View attachment 224327

Nice Westlite! I gotta get mine out!
