Beautiful—is that the Benny Goodman model?

Well, Benny might have had one of these, but here's a model that we know he owned...

Awesome. Does Benny's estate know you stole that from the museum?

I’m innocent! I’ve never been to the Benny Museum. Benny G probably had a smaller head than I do, anyway. The Benny Museum must have others, though, like Benny Hill, Benny Carter, Benihana, or of course, Jack Benny.

They’re calling for rain showers off and on today, so I’m wearing my Tilley Hemp Hat. It actually makes a great rain hat. I’ve got my Hemp Stratoliner in the Jeep for later today when it’s supposed to clear up and be hot.

By the way, on my way out the door this morning I was carrying a lot of stuff including my water cup, iPad, phone, and of course the Stratoliner. I unwittingly closed the door on the brim of the Strat as I turned to leave. It was held so tightly in the door by the brim that it pulled out of my hand and was left hanging in the door as I walked down the back steps. I was horrified, went back and got it out - to discover the hat still looked like new without a bit of evidence the door shut on it. I didn’t even have to adjust the edge - it popped right back into shape. Wow that hemp straw is some tough stuff.

Quick walk by the Ann M Hutchinson river, and under the parkway named after it/her, before we get into the triple digits. VS Artlite in silverbelly. Y’all stay cool

Another day, another dog walk, and another Peters Bros hemp Milan.

Wow those three are all so different from each other, yet equally excellent-looking. I'm guessing it's difficult to pick one out for the day.

Do you ever wonder what percentage of the hats posted here are actually worn on a daily basis vs worn strictly for the photo's and then put away???

OR worn for that day then put away until it comes up in rotation again........at least that is what I do.

Now I do have daily drivers, work hats, and "grab and go" hats of which I have about 6 at any given time that see a lot of use.

But, even they get rotated in and out every month or two not to be seen for a while.

I will say I have about 4 crappy weather hats that NEVER get put away...........

Do you think that’s common? I’ll admit there are times when my hat of the day is on my head for five minutes (from house to car, from car to office, and then reversed). Some days I’m outside for several hours and under a hat the whole time. I can’t see many of us here wearing hats just for the photos. I don’t take many summer hat selfies because I don’t have that many summer hats and most of what I do have are very pedestrian.

I posed the question because I see some very valuable hats posted here that made me wonder. It wasn't meant as anything to stir up trouble.

Are those valuable hats actually worn out in public, sweated in & subjected to the daily wear and tear?

Or are they treasured collectibles that are photographed and not worn.

Just something that made me go hmmm...

Probably depends. I know when the day comes that I can finally order an Advintage hat or two the intention would be regular year long use. Of course they have the reputation for that. My two Fed 4 Deluxes are daily use of course. But if I can ever get an awesome vintage hat that’ll probably be pictures and special occasions only. I would hate to be the one to do the old boy in.
