What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[mayserwegener]

Great looking hat, Steve. I can honestly say I haven't seen that brand before.

Thank you, Steve. I realised later that Peschel is indeed one of those renegade brands that would fit under two countries.

Stefan, Thank you! I believe it's the only one I have come across. Great series of hats yesterday from you. The Borsalino "Landasti" is really fantastic!

Mayser hatmaking at its finest. Beautiful hat, Steve.

One of Hückel's greatest hits!

Another prime example, Steve.

Stefan, Thanks again!

Hückel Weilheim "Chevreau", possibly later 1950s. The felt color and finish are fantastic. Also great overall construction and detail work plus NOS condition.

Blue Jay Feather most likely installed at the Hückel Weilheim Factory.

Hückel Weilheim Gold Embossed Liner

Hanging Cord first introduced by Johann Hückel´s Söhne (pre WWII).

Hückel Weilheim Advertising Pocket Mirror Match Holder. The match heads had to be removed for shipping.

I like the Landasti. I thought you disliked green hats? I can take that one off your hands any time.

Thanks, Max. I do dislike green hats, but this one has many redeeming qualities, so it's going to stay.

Still kicking. Lots of great hats posted. Still catching up. Saturday Worth and Worth Panama circa 04. Have a great weekend.

Good to see you, Reggie. Great hat as always.

Early evening I was enjoying being outside in the cool weather. I was sport'd a VS Westin, The lightweight silvermist beaver felt is soft and maleable. The hat was inspired by the Stetson hat of said name. The Westin was a Stetson Whippet with a different edge treatment.

Cheers, Eric -

That is a gorgeous hat in every way, Eric.

Stefan, Thank you! I believe it's the only one I have come across. Great series of hats yesterday from you. The Borsalino "Landasti" is really fantastic!

Thanks, Steve. Wish I could find more of those.

Great example of the Hückel Chevreau today.

This hat really speaks to me, Steve. Such a great felt color and the ribbon is the perfect complement. I even like the feather which is unusual for me.

 

[Frunobulax]

Great job on the ribbon and bow, Jim.
Love the color. And how’d you find a matching wind trolley?

It's the same trolley it came with. I just found a ribbon that worked with it.

Haven't had the time to post regularly this last couple of weeks (let alone think of a theme). So a few random ones of this week.

All joking aside, that green hat is fantastic! I can see anyone making an exception for such a stunner.

Beautiful Steve... the feather really pops!

Great hat Michael. They were reporting some of your cooler weather was going to push on down here. The South Florida heat and humidity Apparently laughed in the face of that front.

Thanks Joe. I'm hoping the cool weather doesn't try to leave the immediate area.

Thanks, Michael.


That Dobbs sure is a fine hat.

Thanks Stefan. I think it's in the running for the highest quality felt. Very light and soft, but shapeable.

Nice looking Panama, Stefan. It's cool enough here this morning for felt, but I decided to dress for the afternoon and go with some straw

Great lines and weave on this straw Stefan. I do like the ribbon treatment it came with. Good to see that the weather in Holland is letting you wear light straws.

Thanks Joe. I'm hoping the cool weather doesn't try to leave the immediate area.

Quite sporty of you Michael. Always love the look of a boater. It is sunny here today, a boater may be in order for me too.

Thanks Mike. I'm a big fan of the boater as well. You've been showing some nice hats lately. Good to see you out and about.

Thanks,
Michael

Steve; Not the fuzzy, chamois glorious complicated/difficult felt of the cool weather felts, but your recent showcased hats have unique, classic and classy hues. The vintage feather adds character. Again, thanks for sharing.

That is a gorgeous hat in every way, Eric.


Thanks, Steve. Wish I could find more of those.

Thank sir. I do need to wear my VS fedoras more often. Art Fawcett is and always will be the hat whisperer.

With or wothout that hat appears perfect for warmer weather. Two looks means two days without repeating. Heaven forbid a hat gets repeated.

Michael you wear a boater confidently.

This morning a dog soiree in an unlined brown Stetson Playboy. No humans were seen before 6:30am.

A run was next on the agenda. A walkabout to cool down turned out to be a couple hours in the Park Reserve. A VS Wanderer in a lightweight Art-lite dove hued beaver felt was my fedora choice.

The locals were out in numbers. No humans.

Home and fixing brunch (pasta carbonara with andouille sausage, tomatoes and spinach) had me enjoying my meal on the deck in a VS Wanderer (Art-lite silverbelly beaver felt).

Cheers on this June Sunday, Eric -

Hmmm. Summer soldier.

 

[drmaxtejeda]

It’s always nice to see you, Max. I hope you are as well as you look.

I like today’s Milan; I’m actually partial to them over Panama hats.

I am, Brent! I have been busy writing my novel. I have wanted to write one since I was about 16, and, since I have nothing better to do...
I have seen some patients, but it is very uncomfortable with all the protective equipment one has to wear now.

Do you like to fish, Eric? If I lived in Minnesota I would do little else with my free time

The dirty, crumpled, sweatless Marathon in after photos.
This ribbon has faded to some weird color. Doesn’t really match the rest of the hat anymore. May change it, or may leave it just because it has become...unique?

 

[alanfgag]

1950-ish Cavanagh oddity - a woman's model with the bow on the man's side? Not a hat that I've found occasion to wear, though it is light and soft in decidedly un-Cavanagh style. Presented here for your enjoyment...
