What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Another O’Farrell.

Onward through the fog this morning! Out comes another one of the Stetson Gun Clubs. They are not the finest hats out there, but Ive found several of them that are decent felt and provide a nice style transition in between between Westerns and Fedoras. ( they remind me a lot of some of my Akubras)

This one has an unusual mottled looking felt ( not a single solid color.). When it came to live with me it was pretty much a basket case...filthy, stained and smelled like it had been on a wet goat for a long time lol. Leather sweat was dry rotted and ripped in several places. Did an overnight white gas bath and replaced the sweatband. Liner cleaned up nicely including working out someones name in ballpoint pen. Nice dense felt but still has a fairly soft hand. Ive always been fond of the braided leather Blood Knot Hatband. When playing with a big box of feathers a while back, this one just screamed out for some red, black and yellow accessorizing! Future plans for this one is doing some triple thread edge stitching on the brim.

Stetson 4x cowboy hats are one of my favorites for a fedorish conversion. Good base hats to play on without spending a ton of money. Nice color selection too... Ive got an orangish one thats almost done.. Im real fond of something besides brown black and silver lol... These projects have made me keep a good supply of different size and color ribbons... sometimes I have 3 or four different configurations before I decide and sew it on.

Nice work

Another great Adam. This one with a super cool and unusual liner! Love it!

Really like the look of that one. Timmy. If Lock got it right they made some fine hats. They didn't always get it right though. Please post it in the British hatmakers thread as well.


Nice classic looking homburg, Don.

Very, VERY, nice, Don!!! Lovely interior.

Thanks guys.

Adam Majestic refurbished by my good FL buddy Randall @Randall Renshaw

Randall's fan bow treatment is definitely my favourite bow of all my hats.

Nice looking Adam and that bow is spectacular.

A Borsalino. Not sure of the model since the tag is awol.

 

[Randall Renshaw]

there’s something just not quite right about today’s outfit. I just can’t quite put my finger on it. Could it be the necktie?

Borsalino Bismuto is the hat.

Great post, Gary!
Your answer will be found in the title of one of my top favorite Eagles songs.

The Borsalino is magnificent. Could I suggest that you
get a new Cordwainer? (Or change your forum name.)

Hopefully my Susquehanna bespoke will survive the weather,
Tina has repaired the ribbon and told me to hold the hat tight
to and from the car. Our storm persists.

Magnificently elegant, as always, Robert.

Another wonderful Sunday morning selection to ooh and ah over, and make hard decisions with! I'm going to go with the Barbisio Cow Boy in first place, the Flechet in second, and the Berry in third. As always, Stefan, thank you for sharing.

Sunday morning and I'm wearing my Royal Stetson Diplomat with triple stitched overwelt edge and wind trolley. This one has the stars in the logo along with the "American Manufacture" banner so it must be from at least 1951 as I think that is when Stetson made the change in their logo.
* somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Gorgeous! I really like that liner color with the band and felt. It has a classy feel but still looks in place in outdoors.

 

[Rollin Rains]

What a difference a day makes, and not necessarily for the better. The weather turned really gloomy overnight, and I awoke to what I can only refer to as an "Inwood" day. No need for color or even a brim....

 

[steur]

The Fléchet for Etsuko. I’ve pretty much given up trying to choose, but if pushed, I guess I’d go for the Portis.

Thanks, Gary. Good choices.

I gotta go with the Flechet ...something about the brown color always appeals to me.

That's a beauty, Timmy. Classic style. And thanks for the like.

This …

Thanks, Bob. It sits right on the edge of wearable without becoming costume over here.

It's a more modern one, Don. So it wouldn't have a model name anyway. Nice hat though.

Thank you, gentlemen. You're too kind.
