What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[rclark]

Didn't get a chance to publish this last night, too busy stuffing my face... Our first foray into take home from a fine restaurant in Albany. I went and picked up Novak's Hungarian for the in-laws and us. We had a family dinner on Zoom. Times are strange. Quick trip in my late 1950s Dobbs Twenty. Also the first outing, before restoration, of my new Johnson & Murphy Oxfords, very fine high end shoes, strays off of Ebay for $13.

Love the hat but really digging the shoes!

Nice sunny day means stop teleworking early and getting outside for some vitamin E. Seemed like a good day for the spring debut of the Frunoliner.

Amazing how soft the sweat is. I was thinking @alanfgag might have some insite on this one. @M Hatman suggested it may be a Kingston model... predecessor of the Open Road essentially. These are his photos of a Kingston ad in a 30s Stetson Catalog. The brim is a bit shorter on mine though at about 2 1/4

Great research and Ads from @M Hatman ! He always has great stuff.

Thanks Eric. You were looking sharp in the Gannon and the houndstooth cap. And later in the Playboy.

Those gunboats were some old Hanover LB Sheppard Signatures

LOT 75XX, gold printed size tag and sewn rear seam are all markers pointing to the 1930s. From the western supply catalogs that are posted here on different threads, it appears that model names road into town fast and furious. It would likely be impossible to confirm without an imprint or stock card somewhere in the hat. It's a great find and looks great on you.

Greetings All:
Today....it dawned on me that it may be prudent to start wearing some “Good” hats that don’t get worn often, especially considering current events.
So...up top is my favorite dressy Stetson for all the right reasons.
Willow insisted on taking the first pic, not bad, then proceeded to revisit her swaddled baby stage. Never a dull moment!!
Be well and safe.

That’s a helluva hat Alan, but I think you’re doing the whole mask thing wrong haha

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Glorious outfit sir. That hat catches my eye. I think it is the unusual felt color. How would you describe the color? I hope the global pandemic finds you doing well. Be safe.



Randy; I said it yesterday in a post to Blare, but I should have included you also - Your recent hat game is high! Great hats of late and your craftsman skills are dynamite.

I tip my hat brim and take a sip of coffee this morning in tribute to the great hat pics of late. Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -

Thanks, Eric. You be safe, happy and healthy, too.

Nice dress hat, Bowen. Too bad it’s so wore out.

Sounds good to me Alan. A very cool hat and a nice surprise for me to be sure.

Hard to beat that one Bowen.

Spending time with Willow should definitely help take your mind off all the crap going on. Great Pics.

Cool Champ Tim. Cav edge on that one?

I have a stingy Champ I haven’t gotten around to yet.... it was one of the three from the coffee carton. LOL. Should definitely make it one of the 30.
