What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Just in from doing the wheel bearings on my brother's camper. No I didn't wear the hat.
50s 7 3/4 Mallory Dallas

There are ways to make that fit.

Hey, hey, HEY!!
Apparently I’m just time for the party, now that you’re here Karl!
Glad to see you and that super Italian felt, my friend.

First person who ever communicated with me here Charlie. I'm doing ok as usual, not in and out of fecking prison as you jested about last time I was posting regularly, just busy as hell burns brightly. Needed to make some bread for a year or two and did that type of thing.

Getting old now. Twits are still in control after 100 years of average admin, but it (low tax) means I can perhaps retire soon. Schooling the kids at home under lockdown meant they both actually learnt so arrived back head of their classes academically which was cool. Son got into the only top school around here free of charge type of thing. Daughter is making progress, more artistic but also now academically streets ahead of the rest

There is beer in the fridge.

Yes, that was the whole part of her look for the movie Annie Hall, and IIRC, that style was popular enough to be referred to as the "Annie Hall'' look. And frankly, that whole look (hat, shirt, tie, pants) would not have worked on every person; for example if a short or heavy woman were to wear it, she'd probably look like...well...a short, heavy, woman in ill fitting clothes. So that hat being what most would say is too large, simply worked well on a young, thin, attractive women. But on you - in your picture, as Brent mentioned, it's simply too big for you.

New hat day is always exciting, but this new Lords Hat from Mike Miller at NW Hats is kind of special. The household CFO authorized this purchase based on my phenomenal progress in quitting smoking! Still have a smoke every few days, but down from a pack and a half a day, so I feel pretty good about it. This new hat is an homage to Downton Abby, with a distinct brim curl as found in 1920s styles of the Landed Gentry. Finished with a long hair (melusine) aubergine felt, Mike said this is one of the wildest he has created. The crown is a full 5 3/4" (tall) and the curl of the brim is super swoopy. Now, to put together an outfit based on eggplant purple!

Wait!? I don't remind you of Diane Keaton?
Thanks for talking me down, fellas.

Too many wonderful hats to comment on them all, but it is great to see everyone looking fine in the summertime. I've been trying to beat the heat with some straws. Here's a late 1800s boater and a pseudo-Panama courtesy of a trade with @Daniele Tanto:

Stay cool and safe everybody!
Fabulous Panama!

Yep, him too.
