What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

Headed out for some coffee in my new to me Royal Stratoliner (mid 50s). Posted some before and after pics of this one in the Post New Hats thread yesterday but today’s my first time wearing it out. Shaped the brim and crease off of some Great Depression era pictures of Texas cattlemen.
While living right in the middle of London I’ve been trying to strike a balance between not looking too crazy in a big city while still honoring my western/farming roots.

What a weave!

Something a little different for me today. Geo. I. Eakle Roma Genuine Velour homburg made on March 14, 1973 according to the stamp inside the leather sweatband. Originally sold for $25.00

Quite a unique lords hat, Tim. With that velour finish.

Adam Majestic today. I believe this is a '40s hat - very comfortable non-reeded sweatband.

Happy Friday hat lovers!

Great looking Adam, Nathan.

I so love the liner.

I brought this hat out to photograph in today's chilly Buffalo spring sunshine. It is very difficult to capture this vibrant and unusual evergreen color inside.

The Imperial Stetson 3X Beaver Fifteen (not the later Stetson Imperial) is a pretty rare bird - I've seen only a few surface from the vintage marketplace. This hat was purchased c.1940 from Silverwoods by an older man who passed away in 1943. I learned this from the family when they sold it, in the original box, unworn for seven decades. It displays many Stetson elements that were seen in late 1930s to 1941 hats (note the sewn button holding a wind cord with looped end, narrow 3 panel manufacturing label, lace perforated sweatband with tiny stitches) that would not return after WWII.

I hope you enjoy it. ☀

That is one wonderful and unique looking Stetson, Alan.

A jewel in any collection, even one as great as yours. Love it!

I'll have to catch up on the postings.

Today is a BR Resistol with a bound and double stitched brim.

Looks like the hat a street wise character from Dirty Harry would wear stepping out of a land yacht sized two door Lincoln Continental “bad chariot” from that era resplendent in bone coloured three piece corduroy suit complete with flared trousers. Love the colour as well.

Two Borsa day!
3” brim in a champagne color, “Western Style”. A real light weight.
And a nice taupe…that’s unfortunately too small.

Well. I love the hat but not yet “me”. Feel I need to have spent decades in the Mexican dry lands herding steers to justify wearing it. Also out of bedevilment will post on a style forum occupied by one of the largest gaggle of tolls I have witnessed on forums.

It is a Panamanian Fino in their largest brim and curl. Actually strip the lining out and it is a brilliant hot weather hat as it was designed to be. Now the photographs.

Actually I think this hat frames your face quite well, it looks great on you! Also those boots look real nice as well— which brand? Look like Redwings but not quite

Another beautiful day, today under a Cognac OR

Great looking Adam, Nathan.

I so love the liner.

Thanks Steve! I hope the Danish spring is treating you my friend.

 

[Steve1857]

Spring is definitely here in Denmark, Nathan @The Lost Cowboy , but there is still a chill wind in the air.

Ca. 1950s unlined, wide ribbon Borsalino sold at Sools to start the weekend off.

Have a good one fellow Loungers.

Both look great. What a coincidence…. Someone posted one just like the first one in another group earlier today. With the same red liner.
