What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Time for Big Brim week

Let's start it, B. But first next week as I'm away this week

 

[The Shoe]

Golden Week (a collection of public holidays, one after the other) has just come to an end over here. We headed off to Osaka for a wine festival. I wore my Stetson Custom V, and Etsuko a Panama.

Sushi on the menu.

The next day, it was the same hats…

but different menu. I had extra hot dan dan noodles.

Back home, and my Campdraft got the call up for the inclement weather.

Other Akubras (Cattleman and Snowy River) got head time for barbecuing and garden work respectively. No photos, but you’ve seen them multiple times.

Well, today I am kind of wearing two hats. I am looking over my straw hats for the upcoming warm weather but still am wearing felt (which I wear until I absolutely cannot). And I have some VERY lightweight felts......so....
But while I will wear a breathable straw when very warm, for in between weather I like my hemp hats when exerting myself (rather that wear a delicate featherweight vintage felt...most modern felts are definitly too heavy for warm weather).

So my Peters Bothers was getting limp so I brought it in for restoration....I re-flanged the brim and gave it a good steaming which was all it took to re-activate the sizing (I did not need to add any more, though I will spray on some water repellent). The hemp hats are much like the thin felts...but I find even them too much when really warm out, when I switch to really lightweight proper straw hats......

And as it is cool I am wearing my Stetson Whippet in Cognac.....to which has been added a new and dare I say better, liner. As this was a "standard" Whippet the crown has been re-creased to get the most out of it...........

You know I cannot remember....this particular one came from the RJR collection.......

I'll bet it is. Looks similar to mine.

Did Bob's wife sell his stuff? Always wondered what happened to his 9/11 tribute hat from VS.

Ran a lunch errand in a Borsa TAR.

TAR Tuesday - Mallory The Dallas
Oddly…. After I chose this hat for today… my phone sent me a “memory” from two years ago today… that I wore this same hat. Strange how often something like that happens.

Great hat, Eric. You must be having a rough week if you are already into "shenanigans" on a Tuesday

 

[BobHufford]

You want to fight me? this is ridiculous. Just calm down there buddy.

Never would have figured those for fightin' words.

Nice color combo. What color is the felt?

Mikael didn’t have a name for the felt when I ordered it. FEPSA uses numbers for colors and customers are free to call them whatever they want. (I call it natural). The ribbon is vintage grosgrain and the color is Serpent.
