What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[RickP]

This morning's choice is another of my long hair fedoras... this one is a stingy brim Imperial Stetson in Golden Brown , made in Canada.
Hope y'all have a good 'un !

That one looks like it could just wag its tail, and climb up in your lap for a belly rub! lol

A big THANKS goes out to my friend, Jonathan @TheOldFashioned for sending me a link to this hat, and another really sweet one that I had gotten recently. He’s a great enabler.

Wonderful Flagship. I love that blue liner

Still milking the last few days of Straw Season, and they have been perfect! Panama Hats Direct “Special Reserve” out the door…

Stetson Nutria Quality, late 40's to early 50's.

That’s a beauty Mike

I own The Fabled Indiana Jones Fedora. I also own a Stetson felt Fedora/Cowboy hat, a straw cowboy hat, and around 30 baseball-type hats. I pick up a hat on vacations, such as at Mount Rushmore or even Niagara Falls (Canada). But I wear my Submarine Veteran's hat nearly every day.

Very nice. I like it! Welcome to the lounge!

Woo-hoo! That's stunning, Randall!

Wonderful Flagship. I love that blue liner

Thanks, my dudes!
Came with a fancy modern hat case like I’ve never seen, too.

Is Straw Season over yet?
Larry Mahan makes cowboy hats, but with the brim down I feel like I'm in an M. Somerset Maugham short story. Where's Sadie?

made from Royal Shantung, whatever that is, feels like paper. Tight diamond weave and effective vents. Light-weight but with a real leather sweat. A quality lid all around.

Hey Vic, i’m gonna make a response to your posts that i’ve felt for a long time and is long overdue.
I love your simple 1 pic posts.
They always leave me wanting more but as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Naturally that depends on what’s in the pic. Repetitious picturing does not make for more content.
In your case every hat speaks for itself. No need to pontificate and diminish the hat. As they also say, if you know, you know!

Was having a backroom discussion about this and your posts are simple and elegant.
This post equates to my simple “like”.
Thanks man, for keeping it real.

I agree wholeheartedly. Vic has beautiful hats and he takes great pictures. Altogether he is one of my favorite institutions on this website. Thanks for saying it, AbbaDatDeHat.

Well I got another new hat, this time from Peter Christian a menswear company online here in the UK, very good value for money at only £95 which is about US$ 125 dollars, fur felt, presumably rabbit. Not an easy price to beat. Now to get some steam on to define those pinches a little

So anyway I put some steam and some pinches in, and overall I can't believe I got this hat for £95 brand new,

Great pick-up. Seems like you scored a deal given it is brand new.

I am definitely guilty of doing the same thing ... after all, the heart wants what it wants. Hope you make this one work for you. Looking forward to seeing pics once it arrives.

The day has come to end the summer.

About ten degrees cooler, rain and cold wind from the mountains where it snows.
Small walk in the center with a recent made Borsalino in green.

Thanks to everyone who appreciated my panama.
It was the last one of the season. Let's now start the felt one with serenity

Friday 13th is upon us and to mark the occasion I chose this Knox Fifteen.

Happy Friday the Thirteenth to all! Looks like the rain is gone ( for a couple days at least) and it should be a sunny day after the fog burns off.

Reasonably cool this morning so I thought the slate grey Stetson/ Miller Imperial Ultimate out would be good today. Matches one of the Paradise Found shirts nicely. This hats come a long way from when it first got here
