What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Lost Cowboy]

Sears Pilgrim Premier 5x in a sort of forest green (the hat came with a Smokey the Bear plaque).

No idea where the “Premier” falls on the Pilgrim line, but this is pretty good quality.

Fantastisch! Super schoener Hut!

I love the loop placed in the sweatband - I might try something like that on an old Akubra.

Many years ago, I permanently affixed this safety pin and cord to the sweat of my very first FED IV specifically so I could hang the hat on the coat hook on the back of the seat in front of me while traveling on airplanes (boy is that a mouthful!). I just happened to find this little MacGuyver the other day - I used it often and it actually worked great.

Not sure the loop on your hat is meant to hang the hat (what else would it be for?)….?

Steve would be the one to know the purpose of the loop, but hanging sounds like a good guess. This is not a hat I would travel with - heavy, dressy and a little fragile in the sweatband department. I've taken to traveling with berets almost exclusively these days.

Yes I saw your post recently about that (in the “Berets Anyone?” thread, I believe). I am quite sensitive to wool and only have one fur felt beret, otherwise I might be onboard with that practice.

I wouldn’t choose to travel in your Hueckel, either, but I might steal the loop idea.

Great looking hat! It presents as a medium brown, maybe khaki, on my screen.

Today my Fed IV that is I suppose their Carbon Grey but is a more Steel Grey with blue tones.....

This photo shows the color better....

Hats are so very hard to photograph.

Another European velour, more recent than the previously posted Borsalino (probably later 1950s). The felt quality and shark gill ribbon bow on this hat are impressive. The evergreen color is more accurate in the second photo.

Alan, that is a thing of beauty!

There's a long story about this hat, in the Western anyone thread, but here's the condensed version: it's my re-shaping, of D Bar J's re-shaping, of a complete beater I picked up at a cowboy flea market over 30 years ago. Wore this while taking my daily walk at Deer Flat, and then antiquing in Boise, were, wonder of wonders, I bought another vintage hat!

Thanks Phil! Yeah, maybe it's less "forest green" and more "moss green". it has a smokey, brown flavor to it for sure, but definitely green.

The very first Gannon I bought. I need to get it out more as it has become a closet queen. It just seems so dressy I usually only wear it to church.

Maybe this will break the seal.

A beautiful hat, Jim.

Probably a bit of a “Loden” color. They can be real color shifters.

Yes, Joe, you might be right - I forgot all about loden. I remember learning about that color six or seven years ago here on the lounge. Could very well be the color of this Pilgrim, thanks!

Fifty-six Fahrenheits this morning, so I ventued out in a lightweight unlined hat.

The 2024 debut of the Frunoliner.

Makes me want to dig out my RDOR in the same color. Looks great!
