What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[rogueclimber]

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.

But can you pull it off with shorts???

You look great there Nathan, I'm looking forward to your travel tales

I live in south GA. and I am extremely jealous of the cool hats you Yankees get to wear in summer!

I was dating a young lass from Kennesaw Mountain who, on our second date, looked at me and exclaimed:

"I ain't nevah dated a yankee befo"

Having grown up in Utah I could only respond "I ain't nevah been called a yankee befo"

Welcome to TFL -- Let's see some of the hats you do wear

Looking good this morning Nathan !! Hope the heavy furniture move goes well today !!

Thanks gentlemen!

Rob, do you mean shorts, a fedora AND a leather jacket? I believe you’re trying to get a brother killed!!

Hmmm… though I do like the challenge….

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

Very nice, Rick. And yes, a VERY appealing color.

That is a VERY good look, Nathan! Kudos! (And don't overdo, today!)

 

[VoodooSan]

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.

Nice one, Timmy. I only have one Wynewood, but I am VERY pleased with its quality.

Thanks Mark! And that not overdoing it reminder is key - thank you.

 

[TimmyV]

Nice one, Timmy. I only have one Wynewood, but I am VERY pleased with its quality.

Thanks ! Same here. The over-all smaller size of this one leads me to believe it is from the 60's but I really don't know.

By request, I wore my "federal" hat today. It was a young lady in the office at work who had met Tina and I at some function, probably when we took the old MG to an outdoor vintage event.

Rather than correct the lady, we now have fun when we are off out. Tina will say: "Don't forget your federal hat." Last week when she was considering a serious damage to my wealth I asked her if they did ladies federal hats. It took a while but her smile told me that she got there.

This is the federal hat that caused quite a stir at work today. One of the know-it-all smug types informed everyone that it's actually a fedora. Do you know, I rather like federal.

Nice blue... I hadnt really thought about deep blues before I found the turquoise Hemp Stratoliner. Have had several psitive comments... Im sure you will too

 

[moehawk]

Never heard of that brand. Nice looking hat.

Thanks Don.!
It may be a private label Cavanagh. Made in the same town,from what I heard.

 

[moehawk]

VERY nice! That is a gorgeous interior!

Thanks Mark!

 

[moehawk]

Thanks!

I live in south GA. and I am extremely jealous of the cool hats you Yankees get to wear in summer!

Reminds me of an incident I had some years back. We were working on a job site with some guys from the South. One of them said that the biggest difference he noticed between Southerners and Northerners was that Southerners would ask, "Y'all want something to eat?" Northerners would ask, "You guys want a beer?"

I appreciate your input ! The Whippet is a favorite of mine even though they were only Royal Quality here in the USA, I like the look. This hat deserves the Excellent moniker in my opinion and has quickly become one of my favorites !
* if I understand correctly, you're saying my hat is earlier than mid to late 1950s ? Amazing how well some of these hats stand the test of time.

Thank you. It can't be earlier than 1954. My guess would be 1957-1959.
