What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

Good morning. My walkabout was taken under the brim of a VS Executive (blue mist beaver felt). This hat was inspired by the Adam Pacesetter in Executive quality.

I wore a Stetson with a stitched brim treatment while enjoying some morning cold brew.

Morning yard chores I completed while sport'n a Stetson Bantam. This blue fedora was made in Australia.

I dropped some smoked ribs off at the neighbors house. My neighbor gifted me with a six pack of ale. I changed my hat and wore a Gannon Beachcomer for the visit. This hat was inspired by the Stetson Beachcomer of the same name.

Cheers from Minnesota, Eric -

Splendid as always, Eric. The VS Executive is absolutely stunning!

Knox "Vagabond" . Lightweight hats are quickly becoming my favorites now that the weather is warming up around here.

A surfeit of splendors, as always! The Penumbra is #1 for me, followed by the Gulaela nero, and the Misto nebia in third place.

Thanks, Mark.

JBS 3X last drop for me this weekend.

My first vintage felt, I have worn this fellow hard. But he is still one of my favs - so super comfortable and I love the 3-ply ribbon.

Happy Sunday friends.

The hats of the week. Hardly a peeking eye this week as I've struggled with an inflamed eye for most of the week. No fun that. The hats were fun though.

Borsalino Caffe (unsharp for some reason). It deserves better and will get another chance the coming week. View attachment 616578

My goodness. I absolutely can not pick a favorite this week! Fabulous

Nothing happier-making than a well-worn, well-loved, old hat.

Even with just one fully working one, you still have a damn good eye for hats, ties, shirts, jackets, and coats, Stefan.

I love 'em all.

Hope the inflammation is on the mend, my friend.

As amazing as the first I saw those pictures. The dream of every collector.

Stefan, Thank you! Over the next week I will wear some additional hats from this find.

Thank you, Steve. I need to be extra sharp; seems I haven't spotted a decent hats in weeks now.

A generous Lounger friend rescued this neglected 3X Resistol and gifted it to me. Luckily, this is going to be a total make over project. The feather band id is gone!

Gotta show some Rawhide with a Western hat. Best T.V. Western, imo

Very sharp!

Viquez Classic from Mexico. Nothing fancy, but quite serviceable.

Interesting weave and good looking. What is it - paper, palm leaf? Is it stiff, flexible?

It is stiff and tightly woven, but very lightweight. According to the label (via Google Translate), it is “100% cotton fabric painted with pyroxylin lacquer.” I have learned that pyroxylin, or nitrocellulose, is also used in gunpowder and film, but when making a lacquer of this type it dries to a thin, clear film.

I gave the Robson a wear today!

Royal Stetson Playboy is my choice for today. Sadly, the sweatband has seen better days.

Happy Memorial Day to all !
