What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

The lounge was awfully slow to load this week. Some wonderful hats on display as usual, but impossible to comment on them when it behaves like that. O well. The hats of the week.

The slowness of the Lounge has definitely been a pita this week. Seems to be okay today, though.

Love the Penumbra and the English Hatter this week, Stefan.

When are we going to see the Stockport Western out and about?

Yesterday afternoon I was out and about in a Stetson Mode Edge. This new to me hat is not a Mode Edge anymore. Sometime in it's life the "Mode Edge" was removed and a binding edge applied. Glorious felt and ribbon work regardless of the edge alteration.

Sunday morning I went on a walkabout in the 54'f (12'c) temps. Glorious temps after the recent heat. I wore the Saturday evening Stetson Mode Edge fedora. I cleaned the hat (white gas, hard brushing and lots of steam to bring it to an open crown) last night. This morning the hat just seemed to want to take a "tugboat" crown crease. I like the rake and dimensions it gives the hat. I think that it brings the eye to the hat crown sides and lessons the eye attraction to the edge change, IMO.

New cleaned hat.

Previous crown crease.

Below is a collage pic of previous and "new."

Home, after sunrise, I enjoyed coffee on the deck in a Gannon Wanderer (silverbelly beaver felt and charcoal trimmings).

I drove my wife over to a gathering and I changed to a Stetson Whippet. Excellent felt on this 50's version.

Cheers to all Lounge folks, Eric. -

Wonderful hats, Eric.

Eric, I'm a huge fan of your collection. Your wanderers have inspired me, I have a wanderer clone in the works from Robert.

Painfully slow this week. Hopefully we are over the hump?

Fabulous line up

Let's hope so, Joe. Thanks.

Fantastic classic looking line-up, Eric.

Thank you, Steve. Might be a while for the right occasion for the T&W Lees western. I'm wearing it indoors a lot though.

The last “hump” we had like this and particularly this thread was remedied by archiving the thread and starting over.
Unfortunately, all previous contributions, especially “old timer” posts were basically rendered inaccessible.
That was nearly 5 years ago or 1803 days ago to be precise.

To date statistics:
3,308 pgs, 1.85 pgs/day,
66,146 msgs, 36.7 msgs/day,
and counting.

Sadly, maybe it’s time to rinse and repeat.
Somebody else’s mug can replace that goofball’s that graces this thread as if he started the thread.

And yes, i’m wearing my calculator hat today.

Trouble is, it's not just this thread. The entire site is like slogging through mud.

Beach day with my wife. Wearing an inexpensive Scala Panama hat woven in Ecuador. It's held up to 3 years of abuse on the beach.

We'd still like to see indoor shots

Agnoulita for Sunday services…one of the only times I wear felt in the summer.

I really like everything about this hat, Joe. The felt and ribbon colors are fantastic, and it looks to be in great condition.

Some guys deserve their own hat threads, right?

Great hats, you two!

Yesterday evening I was scampering about in a Stetson Whippet.

My morning walkabout was completed under the brim of a Mallory Ten.

I enjoyed my morning coffee under the brim of a Borsolino.

Cheers, Eric. -

Thanks Rusty for the clarification!
I knew it was still around but wasn’t sure how to access it.
Same title with a “1” added to the originating thread, then closed to comment.
Got it….thanks for your work.

Fitting how the last post of the old thread was by RJR.

+1 to him.
RIP RJH
