What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Spring was definitely in the air today. I was able to wear a lighter weight coat along with my Stetson Premier.
I was flattered when a lady said, as I walked past, "that's a really nice hat." Don't you just love it when that happens

 

[Steve1857]

Can't wait to see that Joe

Thanks Steve... I’ve now decided to go with... it’s the speckled pattern from the ribbon spread onto the felt. How avant-garde

Yes! And you should hear it regularly! Great looking hat today Steve.

Oh I meant I was accepting of the holes and going to pretend they were part of the design... aren’t they?

[Steve1857]

Sure thing, buddy. It's one of the better crazy theories I've heard of )

Stylin and profilin!!! Looks great with your beach attire. Looks like a good place to spend the day!

Excellent hat, Michael. Looks extra special good in the sunlight!

Thanks Stefan. Yes, the Portis likes the sun.

Almost made it to march, but here's where Italian week ends unfortunately. I guess I need more of them

Let's see what was left.

Wowser, ended on a high note with the Nobelsca. Fantastic set.

Derby looks good on you Michael

Thanks Joe.

NICE! Love it man.

Thanks Alan. I've been sort of looking for one like this for awhile now.

Nice one Michael! From recent discussions I’m going to venture an “educated” guess of 1930 to 1942. (Keeping an eye out for that slap upside the head...)

Thanks Bob. I like that guess. It feels fairly old, but as I said, I have no real idea. I wonder when they quit using a taped seam on the sweat?

Wonderful new Derby, Michael. Thats a great outfit for it, too.

Thanks Steve. Should be very aerodynamically stable. Ha ha.

Great looking hat, and outfit, Steve. Not quite springlike here yet, but getting closer.

Thanks all,
Michael

[Rmccamey]

That one looks to be in great shape, Michael. Welcome to the derby club.

Should get rid of a little more snow on this nice day. Celebrating in my new derby.

Do you keep bees, or plan on doing so?

 

[Michael A]

That one looks to be in great shape, Michael. Welcome to the derby club.

Thanks Randy It is pretty minty. I think I have 3 other derbies, but they are all the tall crown forms. So this is the one I've been looking for.
