What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Rollin Rains]

Welcome to the lounge! Nice looking hat and once you get the bug, I'm sure there are many to follow.

Thanks! I've been frequenting The Lounge for quite a while now, but just now got around to joining. I really appreciate all of the articles and have gathered some great advice on conversions and restorations here.

The hat at hand was this Portis.

New Lounger here. First Post...
Today I'm wearing my ol' standby, an Agnoulita Pandamator. Gonna take it for a hike, bird-watching, sidewalk sweeping, (additional "old man" endeavors) later.

Welcome aboard!

Went for a walk in the woods and, since I had to climb a slight incline, I picked what I thought was an appropriate hat for the increased elevation.

Now all I can hear in my head is the yodeling mountain climber from the Cliffhanger game on Price is Right

That looks like a special lid there

Thanks Joe. I'm in Eastern central Ohio. Moved here from the Eastern Caribbean a couple of years ago to be closer to family.

Thank you Don. Your backgrounds remind me of eastern Tennessee.…. Not too far off.

We finally made it to the weekend and this morning I'm wearing a very special hat. Awhile back I spotted this Dobbs "Two Ouncer" lightweight fedora on Ebay and fell in love. One of the things that caught my eye was that the ad said "All proceeds from the sale of this hat went to benefit the Steur Home for Wayward Hats in the Netherlands ".
Turns out Bob Huffard had previously sold the hat to Stefan Steur and the hat got lost in transit...made it all the way to Europe and back to the USA. Stefan gave up and had Bob sell the hat and now I am the lucky caretaker of this fine hat !! Always on the lookout for something a little different and this one certainly fits the bill. Thanks fellas !!
