What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[DonR]

And then were three (well, five counting the flat caps). The FED IV and flat caps are going with to Asia and I need the other two straws to finish packing out. One week to go (six days and a wake up) - still a lot to do in this house.

Counting furs, straws, wools, canvas, berets, caps and crushers, I have about 75 hats in total. This is the storage for about 60 of them. 10 of the grail hats are in a closet at my family’s house.

Feels weird to be down to one fur felt, but this is the one possibly for the rest of the year - Akubra Federation IV in heritage fawn.

Looking good. Is your storage standard or climate controlled. I'm considering storing some hats because I have run out of room in our 500 sf cottage.

Thanks Don.

I definitely went for climate controlled. It’s a completely enclosed building so there are minimal insects (I’m very concerned about moth damage) plus it’s 95 degrees in Alabama for the next few months - add what, 10-15 degrees in a metal box?

I got a climate controlled 10ft x10ft for 80 USD/mo, but I have other household goods to store so maybe you could do with smaller.

I’m happy enough with it… obviously, I’d rather have a dedicated hat butler in charge of carrying the collection around behind me as I travel…

Wearing my Mayser William, my favorite panama I own, on another hotter than normal day here in the PNW. I hope everyone is staying cool.

Think I’ve had it maybe a year or so.

Thanks so much guys. I really appreciate it.

And did anyone say how nice it is to see a wide hatband

Taking the newly unfolded Three Forks out for some air this morning. Realized this morning that its almost the exact color as my old Akubra Lawson. I KNEW there was some reason the color jumped out to me

I don’t intend to bore you all with endless photos of my Fed IV, although I do hope to share some photos of it on the travels in spiffy places.

But this morning I’d like to share how much I love it combined with my Lost Worlds crosszip jacket (since we were talking about this the other day). I believe @The Shoe wears his crosszip and Campdraft to great effect and I’m glad to take a cue from him and combine mine with an Akubra. Too bad the leather won’t be coming with to Asia. I took these photos early before the heat became overbearing.

Today is heavy furniture move out day for me. My sister and niece are coming over to help.

Happy hump day, friends.

WOW, amazing how good that hat looks after being stuffed into that little box !

This morning I chose another of my lesser heard from hat brands. Wynewood fedora in Walnut color with tone on tone brim edge binding and black ribbon hatband. I will readily admit that it's Whippet style is what grabbed my attention.

FYI, a lot of the hats you’re seeing on this thread - even a lot of the felts in the heat of summer - are in the South.

This post reminds me of the time my family returned from a tour in Italy. We purchased a car before we transited back stateside and picked it up in New Jersey upon arrival, so it had Jersey plates (big blue ones, too).

Then we commenced to drive that car and those Jersey plates all over the South visiting family. I believe we were just leaving Jackson, MS where we visited my father’s dad when someone passed us and yelled in our window “Yankee go home!”

Lol, they could not have been more wrong with my dad.

I don’t identify as a Southerner but only because I’m a “third culture” kid and have been all my life.

But yeah, all that to say that a lot of regulars on this thread are in the south.

Welcome to the Lounge, btw.
