What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

YAY!!! I finally get to participate in Whippet Wednesday! Scored this mid-50s beauty just before the movers arrived, and haven't had a chance to show it off yet, but I'll be wearing it proudly today!

WWII era Royal Stetson sold from a tailor/haberdashery located next door to now famous Vidler's 5 & 10 (still there) in the historic town of East Aurora twenty miles southeast of Buffalo. Menashe Kadet, an immigrant who settled in Western NY and died in 1961 followed a familiar path for Jews from eastern Europe to America at the dawn of the 20th century. My family was on that boat too.

I LOVE starting out the Day here... always someone sharing something georgeous that Id love but cant justify the cost of. I particularly enjoy seeing when someone picked up a hat that I had looked at. With some of the folks here I never have to worry about a nice hat going to a bad home.. SOMEONE always grabs it! lol Guess Im living vicariously through other peoples hats!

The Whippet is iconic. Not always the best vintage hat, but its profile and characteristics make it easily recognizable. I have a couple of the Stetson Whippet advertisements hung in my wardrobe. I am confident that many other hat fans have the same on their walls.

I have quite a bit of Stetson advertising... Only Problem is that If I find an attractive framed print, I just HAVE to go find that hat!~ lol

I like your Taste!

With that tie? Those burgundy shoes are ::chef's kiss::

What a great compliment. It not only made my day, it made Colin's day too, https://www.colinjohnsonshoes.com/ Colin Johnson is the Cordwainer who made the shoes.

A Whippet, leaning on a whippet, in front of a Whippet. That is a trifecta of pure awesomeness, Eric! Kudos!!

Wow! Colin's prices are REMARKABLY reasonable for such nice footwear!

Whippet-ish homburg conversion from @Randall Renshaw that is still one of my favorite hats.
