What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Randall Renshaw]

40s/early 50s Stetson Strat refurb.
A complete reconstruction to include sewing the unreeded sweatband directly back to the felt like it had been. Lotsa work, but worth it.

The Camp Draft adventures make for an excellent pic. Thanks for sharing.



The line-up is spectacular! Hat goodness everyday. Thanks for sharing.



Caps or hats you challenge me to wear better attire. Heck even shave! Great look sir!

Yesterday I was enjoying the evening lake in a vtg. Stetson 3X OR.

This "newer" 3X has remarkable felt.

This morning a dog soirée in a blue Stetson Playboy.

Working to clean the lawn of dog droppings, limbs and other detritus in preparation of a lawn trimming. It has warmed up to 64'f (18'c) I changed to a 50's Stetson Stratoliner (green hued). This version of the Strat has a 2.25" brim and a different green ( has more green) felt than my other sage hued 40 and 50's Strat's.

Cheers on a glorious Sunday morning in my neighborhood, Eric -

Fantastic Stefan

Thanks, gentlemen.

The slimmest of brims, at least for me and my 7X CB lineup. 2 1/2” Mode Edge of the Canadian variety.

Gets me every time, Greg. Spectacular hat.

My wife managed to surprise me with a pre 50th birthday karaoke bash at the Irish pub where we met. What a great fun night.

A st Regis is the perfect hat to celebrate with. Looks like a fun night. Congrats, Joe.

I officially became a Senior Citizen yesterday and wore my Black Sheep Hat works refurbished Dobbs Mylan-felt dualist to the beach for a 1/2 mile swim. Couldn't find the Senior's section, but I got a Shaka from one of the long board surfers looking for that big wave way off shore. Didn't need my new Medicare card.

50s Scott & Co. - modified Camber-Style: side brims bent up + side dents

some old school filters

Very cool, Matt. I like the styling and Scott made some very fine hats back in the day.

So, 9 weeks of proton radiation therapy at MD Anderson. What a journey, Jack Dancer tried to knock me out, but I got the upper hand. I've been out of sorts for quite a while. But, gettin' better every day. 50's Playboy brightened the day.

One of the highlights of my week: Stefan’s hat parade! Is that the original ribbon/bow in the Knox Twenty-Five?

Thank you, Perry. I appreciate it.

Thanks, Brent. Not the original ribbon and bow. I had Fleur change it from its thin ribbon to this:

Looks great, except for the fraying on the trailing edge of the bow. Pity.

Such sartorial elegance!


It's not so much the hat in this picture as the adornment. Where Tina found a feather to match the shirt, I'll never know.

Thank you kindly, sir. Coming from such a well dressed gentleman that means a lot. As for the feather: has there been a sharp decline in the presence of birds in your neighbourhood?

 

[alanfgag]

Okay okay, now i read the 'baku straw'. It's Indian? Or?
But still a nice straw hat

Some sources say Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), others China.

Fraying on the bow may be intentional? Art Fawcett did some of his bows this way.

Or is it from Chinese rice stalks?
