What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Dlaniger]

Speaking of exchanges, this P.C. Habig Wien courtesy of Stefan got the nod this morning:

Trying to make a point to wear hats that don't end up in the regular rotation through no fault of their own. I only have myself to blame.

I had to chime in too, Jonathan. Wonderful hat! Light gray with original Burgundy Ribbon?
It's a real beauty.

Your unique collection never ceases to amaze, Steve. Magnificent hat with a presence.

Thanks! Great to see the P. & C. Habig Wien from you today. Looks fantastic!

Escapades to the butcher store was taken wearing a pre-40's Borsolino mid-day.

I took an evening walkabout in a Knox Dallas.

I dropped some food on the above brim. After cleaning and sitting the hat to dry on a block, I switched to a Gannon Wanderer.

The granite beaver felt changes colors in the different lights. Tonight it is gray-brown.

Cheers, Eric -

View attachment 372624 Couldn’t locate the, “What block are you showing off today” thread, so I suppose I’ll have to stick it here.

Though this one turned out fine, don’t believe I’ll be making another one and will be happy to pay full price for the ready mades!
It’ll get another sanding and another coat of sky blue, then straight to work on a good friend’s Schoble.

7 1/8 block.
5 5/8” tall. 8” X 6 5/16” at the base.
Since the block needs to be a bit bigger than the finished hat it should be just right.

Got 3 blocks, now I need to buy at least two more flanges. View attachment 372625

Nice job

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Nice job

Thanks, Alan
Lots of work, but at least a person building their own can design the block to personal preference.
This one has only a bit of taper in front, but a bit more taper in the rear so when the slanting center crease goes in it won’t push out reverse taper in the back.
The sides have very, very little taper.
Its overall shape is #52

Stetson Excellent Quality Stratoliner in sage this fine Sunday afternoon.

Wegener "Start" possibly late 1920s. A Felt mélange with a Rauh / Rough Finish. A Curled Brim with a Blind Stich Over Welt which was typical of the time period and place. Also has a Back Bow.

Today I worked in the tide of hair that has reached Verona in recent weeks.

Putting in order and classifying, photographing and putting back in the boxes, the work has been going on since this morning.

A friend asked me, it was slightly ironic, to wear the Borsalino Panna. Here he is satisfied

His was a question to try to see if a 58cm Alexandria really fit on my head. There it is!

There is no trick and there is no deception, just the fun of wearing a very special hat.
Nice, but not for me. Anyone interested write to me

Nice Monday to everyone

A Bailey thin ribbon hat was my choice for a morning dog soirée.

A morning walkabout in a Brock fedora. "A Canadian Achievement."

"Artcraft in Hats."

Cheers, Eric -

Very nice Eric. As many modern Bailey (and their many other brands) hats I see…. These old Bailey were made quite well and I don’t see that man of them. Very cool.

Old Peters Brothers fedora was on the grab and go shelf for morning errands.

My long time beater Playboy with the East River and 59th Street bridge in the background. Thanks to a cleaning and restoration by @belfastboy that got out the bad grease spot on the crown and replaced the sweatband, I can now wear it to work with confidence.
