What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Lost Cowboy]

More King’s Umbrella for me today. Spring is coming to northern Alabama and this is a wonderful spring hat.

I could not get under the 1930s gangster look that I had in this yesterday, so this morning I dropped the crown down and shifted to a front pinch. I am much more comfortable with this now and I love the reverse taper.

I also had a removable (faux) Knox wind cord in red that I added, giving it a subtle patriotic flavor.

Happy Sunday friends.

Excellent Mississippi hat brother! Looks like it’s in great shape - is it nice felt?

Safe travels Phil!

Excellent Springtime hat, Nathan! I’m looking forward to seeing a lot more of it in the future.

Thanks, Nathan! would say it’s in near mint shape. Clean liner and the sweat is like new. The felt has a nice soft hand. It deserves more time than what I give it.

Oh yeah, glad to hear it! Sounds amazing - what a great find!

Man that is a head turner for sure. Congratulations on the new brim.

Thanks gentlemen!

Good morning. I wore a Stetson Premier Stratoliner (Cadet Blue felt hue) this morning while grilling breakfast buffalo chops.

Cheers, Eric -

Love that color.

Still a day behind.
I went for my Silverbelly Campdraft in yesterday’s inclement weather.

Hopefully the weather improves the coming week and the hats get a chance to show themselves in better light.

You already know I like that Gorusgu and Wormser, so I’m gonna put the light on that nice McAndrew. I’ve had several from the early/mid 60s and still have one and they all have really nice felt.
Proof that some of the later hats still could be had with great quality and nice proportions.

Premier Strat. Dang!
Beauty in a cool blue, too.

Mayser "Libelle", probably early to mid 1950s based on sold by "(Wilhelm) Zeumer 80 years" of Karlsruhe. Last time I posted photos of this was almost 4 years ago. I found this Soft Felt back in 2015.

Mayser's Hutmanufactur, February 28, 1896. Found this receipt back in 2016.

That’ns definitely got Game!

Thanks Randall! I agree!

 

[moehawk]

Really nice Rainbow.

Thanks Joe!
And double thanks! The hat was actually my Game Bird, but you just gave me a perfect excuse (as if one were needed) to throw on the Rainbow!



Have a great day!

Haha. I guess I meant.. nice Rainbow you are going to wear this afternoon. LOL. The Gamebird was great too!

Gracious!

Thanks, Randall! I found this one about a year or so ago. It’s a good one.

Nice old hat, Steve, and great history as usual, but I’m way impressed with that cursive hand writing on the receipt!
So beautiful and elegant.
We have really went downhill as civilized people, haven’t we?
