What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[bowlerman]

Confession: I haven’t been wearing a lot of brimmed hats. It’s too darned cold and snowy and this winter has been relentless up here; certainly for a lot of us. But I did wear this beaver brand American Legend series hat a bit inside today. I reshaped and re-fit it a bit, and just the other day found this wonderful colorful horsehair band that fits it perfectly. There are so many colors on it up close, but they turn subtle from a few feet away.

Today I sport the venerable Akubra Adventurer. I was not adventurous enough to bash this myself, so the good folks at Delmonico gave it the Indy for me. But I do have an open crown Campdraft on order and I'm determined to play with a bunch of bashes, like the big boys here in the forum.

And BTW, for weather here in Portland, Oregon, nothing off the shelf beats an Akubra. (But you know that already...)

Hi neighbor, I'm just east of you down the gorge. I agree, Akubras are great this time of year and they get most of my daily wear, but I really enjoy the cooler weather for all of my felt hats.

Gannon keeps getting better and better with his brim curls.

I wore my Gannon Highwayman this morning, a little on the damp and chilly side today.

+1 to Jeff's sentiments.

My caps have gotten many times more wear this winter than brimmed hats. This morning on a walkabout the air temp is -8'f (-22C) and the feel like temps is -22f. It is way to cold to wear a brimmed hat, IMO. A Filson Mackinaw cap was my head gear. My wife calls this cap my Elmer Fudd cap. She is accurate, but I easily argue that I am toasty warm and ready for action wearing it. Where's the rabbits?

Cheers, Eric -

Hutfabrik Heinrich Schneider, "Taunus Hut", possibly early 1960s and a recent arrival.

On oldie... nice to see it.

Celebrating a wee bit of sunshine on the last day of January with this furry green Mallory. The color comes across differently in each photo - the one with it on my head is most accurate.

I believe this hat was a Fedora Lounge catch on a forward pass from @buler to @Joshbru3 and then a lateral from @Joshbru3 to me, but I'm not certain.

Akubra Stylemaster in Gray, pairing well with the Barbour waxed coat on a day like this...

Hello back, Neighbor! As long as it doesn't rain hard I'll venture out with the other felts, but Akubra has become the go to for me as well!

Stetson Bantam - freshly steamed and spiffed up. The rear flange had become quite severe and squared… so I smoothed that out some. Also added a bubble to the crease to get the plastic liner tip off the top of my head

Thanks David.

Nice, Joe, I don't remember seeing a blue CC before.

Dobbs Cross Country… I wear tenderly considering the condition of its sweatband.

There's one hat maker many of us wish was still active in the business. A Phoenix is becoming a collectors item.

 

[johnnycanuck]

Been a few since I posted. Art Fawcett work or Art. Joe Friday inspired granite grey.

Stay frosty everyone.

I guess color may have shifted in the photos. It is a black black to my eye.
