What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Bill Hughes]

Had a few errands to run. First time wearing this Optimo from Paul's Hat Works.

Great looking Portis Michael.. love the ribbon

Thanks Joe. It is a dandy ribbon design.

I like it better every time I see it, Michael.

Thanks Stefan. It's rapidly moved up into my top 4 or 5.

After French week closed it is onward to their neighbours: Germany! This may take quite a few weeks, but who cares?
We'll start off with this one (just because it sat on top).

Is that a bit of heathered there Stefan? Looks good.

Got out for a bit of a bike ride this afternoon. The wind was ferocious. I wore this Czech made Basque and it served the purpose well.

You are going to drive me crazy when you start going through your Mayser stack, Stefan!

Early evening a walkabout in a Gannon (bone beaver felt).

I am sitting on the deck watching the sun set while wearing a vintage Stetson Whippet. The grey hues in the late evening have a blue cast to them. I grabbed a pic against my black fleece sweater for illustration.

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

30 Days to 30 Hats - Day 27
Adam Hats Mainliner Silverbelly

Adam Hats Mainliner Silverbelly
OR/Stratoliner clone
4 7/8 Crown as bashed
3/8 Ribbon
2 3/8 brim with 1/8 matching brim binding

Adam Mainliner in Sil. Sand... Appears to be Adam Hat’s Open Road/Stratoliner clone. Very moldable felt.. light weight and crisp. Amazing what $9.95 bought you even in the late 60’s. This was my first TAR. I just threw in some side dents for a modified cattleman crease for fun... which it takes well.. diamond it will take and hold with ease. One beautiful hat that is a pleasure to wear

Nice Strat, Dave! Glad Brent hepped you into it.
My nephew has one just like it in the same color, same size. A sweet softy!
He had me reshape it some, ‘cause it had gotten wonky with wear and poor storage practices, but it shaped right up. I gave him some tips on proper care and now he’s gone a little overboard with the thing.

This week I will feature J. Hückel´s Söhne Soft Felt Hats. J. Hückel´s Söhne was nationalized as Tonak after 1945.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Superior" possibly mid to later 1930s. The felt is extremely dense with a very smooth finish. Due to the stiffness of the felt most likely worn without side dents. J. Hückel´s Söhne were probably the first to introduce Hanging Cords at the rear of the sweatband. The Hanging Cords were only installed on Soft Felt Hats. J. Hückel´s Söhne often coordinated Felt, Liner and Sweatband colors. The condition of this hat is NOS.

Hanging Cord (above Sweatband Bow)

Centimeter, French Point, English Size, American Size, Paper Tag

Hückel "Superior" Display Cards, 10 cm x 4 cm, possibly mid to later 1920s.

Going for hikes in the city. Lots of ravines and such around Edmonton. The annoying thing about the government shutting down all provincial and national parks. I guess we get to explore local.

Stay safe everyone

Went out for supplies wearing my wool felt Bailey pork pie. This was my first ever felt hat.
You can also see the beginnings of a goatee, which despite my undoubted manliness, is taking forever to take shape!

Something different and a very nice color!
