What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Fits the jacket as well! I really like the shallow flange it has. Beautiful hat, Steve.

Thanks Stefan. It has some wonderful features. Just had to have it when I saw Brent post it. Sadly, the sweat was toast, but Robert at Wolfbrae has done a great refurb job.

There's a lot to like on that one, Joe. Side vents, ribbon, colour, shape: it's got it all!

Thanks Stefan… the thin felt.. light color.. vents and vent system make it an excellent candidate as the perfect Florida summer hat. However considering it’s delicate nature with all of the above… + age… I doubt it would handle the day to day rigors of that environment. Luckily though I do not need to test the theory.

Fabulous colours, Joe.

Thanks again.. interestingly after it dried off.. the downpour left significant a water mark on the ribbon exactly along the shape of the part that did not get wet. I wet down the entire ribbon with a damp rag and let dry… cleaned it right up.

Thanks Alan.

It's often Stetson, Dobbs, and Knox that top the list of USA hatters. For me, Adam and Resistol were right up there with them.

Agreed…. Mid century and earlier Mallory do it for me as well.

And of course Cavanagh

Agreed too, Joe. Shamefully, I forgot those. I have a few delightful Mallorys. Still waiting for my first Cavanagh.

All very nice, Jim. But the Batsakes wins the race. Very cool hat!

Thank you, Stefan.

As to the above discussion on US hats, I second (or third?) the Mallorys.

Today, a J.C. Penney Marathon.

One desirable hat, Jim

Damn, forgot too that a J.C. Penny designated hat is on my wish list.

I’m just following in your footsteps, Steve. You are the king of the topper!

You are far too kind, Brent. However, I'm happy if I can, in any way, keep these beauties in mente.

Speaking of Gannons… wore my gannon highwayman yesterday on an outing with the family

 

[moehawk]

Just because you can! Very nice, John.


Incredible. Makes me wonder how long someone had to spend hanging over the block weaving to make that one!


Very nice, Perry. Nice bit of contrast.

The hat is nice and all, but I'm just sooooo jealous for that coat!


Fabulous colours, Joe.

Yes, I can!
And thanks for the enabling!

Wow. What a hat! Perfect on you, Brent

Thanks, Joe. I’m trying the brim this way for now but I may snap it down in front.
