What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Frunobulax]

Do we ever get to put Eric in the Time Out chair for bragging so much



Another excellent Gannon, Brent.

Nope. Ain't bragging if you can back it up.

Appreciate the 'likes' for the other day's Panama OR. The weather abruptly turned to autumn, so giving this newly reblocked German velour of unknown manufacturer a spin.

Wow! That felt comes to life in the sunlight, Jared! The hand looks fantastic and the shape is the perfect complement to the velour.

He could show his beater hats once in a while so the rest of us would have a chance!!

Kind of a maiden voyage for the Aubergine Rabbit Lord's Hat. One of my more unusual custom creations by Mike Miller of NW Hats. The Lord's hat is a homburg that is "dressed down" for casual wear by not having an edge binding. The long hair finish is really special, called melusine. Styled from a hat on Downton Abby.

Now that is a fancy Lord's, Michael. Purple Melusine no less. As the youngsters would say, that hat is “off the chain.”
You and Mike M have outdone yourselves with that custom creation.

Is that the original ribbon, Ken? Good looking hat!

Oooh! Aaaah! What are the dimensions on that? I dig the color.

Thanks! It was reblocked from 6 7/8 up to 7, and because I am more of a "measure once, cut twice" type I neglected to note the original dimensions. The crown is just over 5", the brim ended up about 2 3/8 in the front and 2 1/2 on the sides. I'm not sure if that dimensionality is original, or a result of the reblock.

Wow! That felt comes to life in the sunlight, Jared! The hand looks fantastic and the shape is the perfect complement to the velour.

thanks Brent! The flange was just plain old dumb luck. A while back I picked up a 6 7/8 #52 for those 'without-removing-the-sweatband' halfway reblocks. It came with this 7 1/8 #33 flange and I didn't have a use for it until now. I'm very pleased with the result.

Looks great Jared. Nice job on the reblock.

Thanks, yes it's original. I thought the same thing when I got it many years ago. A bit unique.

Those are his beaters.

You did a great job. It really pops.

Gooood morning hat folks. Thanks for sharing your hats and for the likes for my hat wearing escapades yesterday.

Yesterday late afternoon and evening I was wearing a Gannon Wanderer (granite beaver with charcoal ribbon trimmings).

This mornings dog soirre was enjoyed in a Stetson Open Road 3X. I have this fedora in a tugboat crease. IMO, it works great with this hat.

Some early morning coffee in a Stetson Sovereign Twenty Open Road. IMO, a gentle diamond crease works better with this hat.

Cheers, Eric -

1940s Marathon Whippet clone. Definitely my most film noir hat, with a 5 3/4 open crown and 2 5/8 brim.

What a day out there!

Borsalino today. Delicious, thin, light felt. I bought it from Anthony

at the start of my collection.
I started off well!
