What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[T Jones]

Thanks Terry. Looks like the more urbanized counties have more cases which is kind of expected, greater concentrations of people. Holmes County which is very rural and many Amish has only a couple cases right now I believe. On the bright side, looks like we're starting to flatten out a bit. Keep safe yourself and family.

Yeah, I saw where the model they used was nowhere near what the actual numbers are in the State. Nevertheless, the actual numbers are concerning enough. But, yup. Like you said, it looks like we're beginning to flatten out.

Now that’s doing yard work in style. I’m always afraid to wear any good hats while doing yard work, I always get so filthy.......

I alternate between the fed and a cattleman for yard work. Both of them have held up very well over the years. Nothing wrong with Akubras.

J:
You’ve definitely found your niche style. You wear it well and have some fine vintage examples.
You can’t go wrong with a wide brim and a curl.
Salute!!

Thanks Bowen, appreciate the kind words especially from someone with such a fine collection. It sure has been a lot of fun learning, being a part of this community and collecting these antiquated pieces we wear on our heads.

Love everything about that one Justin.

Thanks Tim, You should certainly snap one up for yourself! I’ll keep my eyes peeled.

Thanks Tim, the CC is lightweight so it is a great spring and fall hat.

Love that Cross Country Randy.

You dress up pretty nice, Mr. Jones!

Wearing a grey Resistol Stagecoach that I converted last year. It was originally a 6 7/8 that I blocked up to a 7 1/4.

Before:

On the block:

Brim trimmed to 2 5/8 inches with my handy dandy rounding jack by Rick Walker, (humanshoes), and with my equally handy dandy band block by another fellow Lounger, "Rockwater"...

Completed:

Tall straight crown:

Good enough for dressing up:

Yes, I'll have to say the Moores is my pick of the two, Stefan.

We continue with English week.

That is a great looking Panama.

View attachment 226124 View attachment 226125 View attachment 226126 I think this Panama will be getting worn out this week on the walks, now that we finally got some decent weather. Fairly new purchase from the bay. Not really knowledgeable about Panamas, but I'm happy that they seem a light lighter than the straw hats I've worn. This one is originally from Olé in Puerto Rico.

No students at school these days, so I get home at a reasonable hour. Went for a walk with my wife to see all the flowers in bloom. I wore my new to me Christys.

The magnolia in our garden.

My town is well known for its peaches.

The local park is famous in these parts for its cherry blossoms.

The hat.

More cherry blossoms to finish.

I purchased my first Panama from Ole many years ago in Old Town San Juan. Great little shop. I still have the hat, but it really does need reshaping.

 

[Steve1857]

I have to agree with you there, Randy. I'd love anyone of those English hats. Lucky for Stefan they're his size

Yes, I'll have to say the Moores is my pick of the two, Stefan.

Out and about Western style today in my 4x OR. A man sure walks tall with one of these on his head.
Howdy and thanks again, my friend Bob
