What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Crown Royal]

My vintage hat made for McManus & Riley, a men's clothing store based in Albany, NY that closed in 1967. Based on the plastic tip liner, my best guess is that this lid is from the 1950s but please let me know if you have more accurate dating information.

Gannon

I have two of these. This one, from Art Fawcett, I wear upbrim. The other one, made by Graham Thompson, I wear with the brim snapped down. I'm sure my neighbors think it's just one hat that I wear every single day throughout the summer months.

I am on a fashion collision course: my love of fedoras is gonna collide with a new-found passion for leather jackets.

I just got this one today: it’s a very high end horsehide jacket from maker Lost Worlds. I got this used but in excellent condition and it’s too bad it’s just gonna sit in the closet the next six months.

I coupled it with my 1940s Mallory aristocratic quality this evening for photos. It’s a good vibe but I don’t know that I’ll have as much success with many other hats. Could be I am headed in the direction of one hat/one jacket - but I can also see wanting to rock this jacket without a hat.

Whatever the future holds for me and leather jackets, it will have to wait a few months while I kick it on the beach in Thailand.

Now I return to packing the house. This would go a lot faster but my illness is triggered pretty hard and I have to take lots of breaks.

Happy Wednesday evening friends.

Thanks. It's the first Gannon I ever bought. That was some time ago now.

Whoa!! Nice Trojan recreation, Nathan! I think you'll find that a LOT of fedoras will look good with that baby! Congrats!

That black jacket just gives you an excuse to find a killer black hat or two to go with it.

You people with your vintage and vintage like leather jackets.



I’m so jealous.


Get weller, Nate!

Thanks Mark! I’m not surprised you recognize the style - you had a really nice Langlitz for sale at one time, no?

True! And black is one color my collection is woefully lacking in!

I did my time in no-jacket land, so I hear ya. I’ve had almost 24 years worth of tropics, sub-tropics and swamps. My life’s objective now is to move further north. Gotta get better first, so thanks for the well-wishes!

Personally, I don't think these two look out-of-place ... in fact, you might set a new trend!

Still do, down in the classifieds; waiting for the right-sized buyer.

And not just fedoras…Westerns, Bowlers, Homburgs…I think you’ll find a lot of hats work with leather.

Oxblood would be sharp. Shoe has a pic up I see.
