What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Rmccamey]

Stormy weather this afternoon under my Dobbs Rancher Panama. The brim has such a flange it will never snap down. A great lightweight work hat.

The heat and humidity is supposed to break tomorrow. A further day's wait for the rain to end.

That is some fine looking felt in that one, Stefan. Not sure I remember having heard of that brand before.

Geez Doc ... for a second I thought maybe you were riding that Tesla into space today.

Hahaha. The virus would be safer

You need some tall boots to go with that hat, Michael

We used to make fun of the Ortho bug nut surgeon that used one daily without fail or Post-op infection, years ago.
Ain’t no one laughing now.

Hello all, sorry I haven’t been on in a while, it’s been a brutal 2 or 3 weeks for me. I’m trying to catch up, and wearing my Akubra Balmoral for Warm rainy day:

This week I will feature P. & C. Habig Wien & Berlin Hats. The hats will be from the 1920s up to the 1950s.

P. & C. Habig Vienna "Camber" "Export Quality" with "Ventilo", probably 1954 based on the Paper Label. This hat was made for the American Market. "Camber" was used in Austria and Germany to describe Snap Brim Hats like this one. Really nice Brown Felt with a Over Welt Brim Edge. The Form is somewhat of a throw back to the later 1930s with a very wide Band and frayed Bow.

The "Ventilo" Felt Vents can be seen at the upper Sweatband edge.

P. & C. Habig Wien started using Hanging Cords post WWII.

"Chapeaux - Habig" French Market advertisement stand for P. & C. Habig Wien, probably 1920s.

Very nice Steve

Day 26 of 31 Hat Parade: With only a few days left, I am going to spend my last few days featuring some of my favorites, winter hats and formal wear. Fedoras have always been my first love when it comes to my collection, so here is a classic. Mallory was one of the original hat makers along with Stetson, Knox and Cavanagh. This Mallory XV is a model from the mid 1950s that has all the bells and whistles. A shark's gill ribbon, wide brim and tall diamond creased crown. Many hat makers had the cost of the hat as a model name, this one cost $15 in 1955, a fine sum indeed. There are 50s and even the finest a 100 (bucks!). Moths, or more specifically, their babies love to destroy felt, wool and other clothing. This one wears it's battle scar on the crown, with a moth bite all the way through the felt. Since these last few hats will be varied in style and I'll be in my sweats on the couch, archive images will abound.

Today....full disclosure or maybe a confession. By definition, i’m jaded with hats. I do love hats and i really love nice hats. Mine or your’s makes little difference, i appreciate, even relish seeing a good hat. They do not have to be top dollar pieces or coveted grail birds but that helps.
I blessed myself with an excess of hats that exceeded my ability to do them justice, meaning realistically being able to wear them much less share them here. I find myself grabbing the same dozen or so hats day after day, all day, every day with little regard to many coveted ones in view. I guess i do not possess the necessary collector’s endurance and have evolved into hoarder. I’m on the lounge constantly since day one and truly enjoy every hat i see and especially the stories etc that some share with their prizes. Thank you each and every one for that.
I am not trying to be pretentious, please forgive me if it seems so.
I guess i felt the need to say this as i don’t contribute as often and wonder if other’s haven’t been of the same mind.
Anyway....today i’m sharing a skinny ribbon, raw edge, 50’s Stetson One Hundred with the little hundred guy pin that came in a case just as nice.
Perfect in every way except not worn enough.
Ok...back in my cave.
Be well and safe.
Bowen

Absolutely wonderful hat Bowen. No pretension assumed at all. Much the same as you I enjoy seeing all the hats. This one just happens to be one of the more fine pristine examples.

Day 27 of 31 Hat Parade: Every sharp dressed man requires a top hat for formal occasions. I still need a 1930s vintage tux, but that is just a dream bucket list item in my larger size, guys were just smaller then I guess. This classic Opera Hat came during my pain days of 2019 after my back surgery. My friend in Holland, Stefan Steur found it at at thrift store or online. Made for one of the larger department store chains of the era, Peek en Cloppenburg, the logo in the liner reflects this. The actual maker is a mystery, but probably one of the major German or Austrian manufacturers. The style of logo does have some age to it, a friend on the Fedora Lounge thinks it is the early style of the store logo. My best guess would be mid 1950s or older. A little class in my lock down life, and memories of dressing up and seeing other people in the real world.

The past few days have we have seen quite a bit of downpours. A least a couple feet of water all tolled...I am sure. It was sorely needed so no complaints. What little chance I had to get out and about I found myself reaching for this Stevens 3X Beaver California weight. Really enjoying this hat. Fit.. shape.. styling... ability to hold a sharp crease. And very very cool and unique silver mid ribbon

Home and enjoying the last of the evening light. Wearing a Stetson Medalist Panama. This hat has seen lots of head time at my house and it keeps a-going.

For those following my recent pic collages, the iris's have finally started blooming. They are lovely. Short blooming time so I need to pay attention.

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

Very nice Steve

Joe, Thank you! I am having trouble keeping up with this.

 

[Rmccamey]

That's one cool ribbon!
