What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Randall Renshaw]

One man’s stingy is another man’s wide brim

Just using a bit of fun sarcasm on the brim width of the Marathon.
Actually consider 2 3/8” brims to ride the edge of what’s considered a wide brim fedora, and for the record, I like 2 3/8 brims on some hats...but not a 1/16th less!
Ya know, I’ve been a home builder all my life and never seen an instance where a 1/16th of an inch makes more of difference than on fedora brims!

Nevertheless, what you said is too true, Joe.

As they say, everything is relative.

Same as everyday. My tried and true Schafer.

I've got you covered It's sitting on the shelf at my hatter's place at the moment for a refurb.

Very interested, but a little concerned. True story: I had a dream the other night that you were being investigated by the CIA. In the dream, you were the head of a large hat trafficking ring. The CIA came to my house to interview me about my involvement after I purchased that homburg from you a while back. Several loungers were apparently involved. Bizarrely, the homeless guy that I see frequently around these parts was also involved...I think he was keeping an eye on me on your behalf!

It’s amazing but it’s true!! I think I remember once reading a female member’s amusement over a bunch of grown men arguing over 1/8 inch of brim size.

TREMENDOUS!

I wore my vintage Stylemaster for shopping today. My wife wore a Maxim.

I also went into a hat shop...didn’t buy a hat, but when I asked if they knew where I could get sponge rings for stacking hats, they gave me a bunch of them. Very appreciative, I was.

To be honest, I don’t recall if you were a part of it, but if I were a betting man, ...

That is just brilliant, Gary. I think you should start writing the screenplay while your dream's still fresh in your mind. I can see "The Dutch Connection", with its array of misfit hat junkies, being just as popular as the Oceans 11 franchise

Good morning.

Early morning essential trip to grocery store. Diamond weave wool cap was my choice for this excursion.

Home and grilling some lunch wearing a Lightweight Adam Paceseter. An excellent value for $8.95.

Cheers, Eric -

This forum is such a trip, I freaking love it. I'm that dude who literally owns a single damn hat, but I have the greatest time looking at all the stuff you guys have! If my boss knew how much time I wasted looking at pictures and reading here, I'd be on the soup line.

I only owned one when I started out here...

Marathon today. I almost didn’t get this one because I didn’t think I’d like the sharkgill bow. I was wrong.

 

[Snowman]

I can not do it - no more coffee today. I still taste and smell the spoiled half and half. Yuck. I have switched to a Surley Delicious IPA beer for my morning beverage. I am grilling some sausage to add to pasta carbonara for breakfast. This should be a good pairing. Breakfast food? Out by the grill in a vintage powder blue Stetson Whippet. The felt color is very unique and I thought I might share some comparison shots of the Whippet and a felt color match in a Stetson Bantam.

For those who do not approve of beer pics for breakfast here is another one.

Enjoy your breakfasts everyone.

Best, Eric -

Excellent choice in hats, as well as beer.

Gils are as addictive as the fedora itself

Kicking off StingeMas Stingy Week hoping for a stingy performance for my Miami Dolphins defense against the number one offense and defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs. Hehe. Lots of luck

Black Cavanagh with 1 7/8 brim sporting a Cavanagh edge. I stingily covered up the 1 7/8 black grosgrain ribbon with my home made Dolphins colors ribbon held on with a couple magnets. This one I found with my own initials in it an also gifted me a not to stingy Dobbs Guild edge along it it

And as I type this Patrick Mahomes is picked off by Byron Jones... so your telling me there’s a chance!

Who else wants to join @Redfokker and I in the spreading the Stingy Cheer?

Happy StingeMas!
