What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

This morning I cleared some ice build up from the foot of the driveway. We got sleet and then some slushy snow through the day. My Gannon Wanderer (charcoal beaver felt) did it's job well!

Cheers, Eric -

Shedding it like a champ!

Definitely worth the wait, Joe.

Thank you Gary

WHOLLY CRAP JOE! That is one killer hat! DAMN!

thanks Rick! I am really diggin it!!

Joe that’s a great looking hat. I like the western vibe. You look like you could be right at home staring on TV episode of Bonanza.

Steven

Haha. Thanks Steven. You know... when I go over to the in-laws my father-in-law has on Bonanza or Gunsmoke. I’m always like mesmerized by the hats. Well. That and noticing them switch from studio sets to live outdoors shots in the very same scene.

It’ll take a crease just fine Joe.
Epic western pencil roll hat.
Enjoy

So not a minute after I responded to your post earlier... I set the hat on my bed and went in the bathroom for a minute. I come back out to find the hat exactly where I left it but with the crown all crushed up. Nobody else was in the room. I felt like I was in the twilight zone. Only thing I can figure is my wife gave the dogs a treat and one of them jumped up on the bed and landed on it giving it a fantastic doggy bash and then he freaked out and hid under the bed before I returned. Fortunately the dents popped right back out.

so yes... apparently It will take a crease. LOL but will need steam to finesse it in to the right shape.

but I gotta tell ya. I’m digging the big open crown as it is

Woohoo. That’s a beauty Alan

Thanks Joe. I enjoyed your nutria quality today too. I didn’t remember seeing that style of bow in post war hats... and then Bowen posted another. Cool.

Thanks Alan. Funny how that happens. I was looking around old posts for a while today to find a similar one with no luck. Then bam... there’s Bowen’s. This is definitely the place for that to happen

Wow, you and Stefan and Daniele are killing me with all these great new/old bowlers this past week! That liner makes yours very unique.

Randy, Thank you! I should wear mine more often.

 

[mayserwegener]

Great bowler, Steve!
One expects to them in cars these days, but crazy that a hat came with vanity mirrors in the 20s!

Randall, Thank you! Superb looking Dobbs from you today. Really like the color combos and brim treatment.

Happy National Hat Day, Mike. We had National Bacon Day a few weeks ago.

It's also National Bagel Day.

Hat on a bed curse sounds like to me.
Have to admit mine’s a pretty firm hat. I’ve never opened the crown but i’m sure steam would be required to re-crease it. I like the crease it came with. I wear this hat much more than any others. I love it’s profile.
Your’s is epic however you choose to crown it.

Slushy, yucky snow fell here in my neighborhood. The Akubra BGCD was my work hat this morning. Dog soirée and snow moving done.

National Hat Day and I am working under a hat. It is as it should be.

Cheers, Eric -
