What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

DJH said:

The one I want is the original "redder" Black Cherry, Fed. When it was first made, I'm pretty sure it was a Fawcett exclusive. It then became readily available, went away, came back and now is gone again.

I have a Bob Jesse western in the darker version, also nice, but it's the original I'm lusting after at the moment.


Cheers! David

Congratulation, Charlie. Mama doing OK, I hope.



Tough choice, but I vote the RD.

PB Milan for a Tuesday.

first world problems of a hat crazy. Stetson gets my vote, but that Mallory is da bomb as well.

Yes Red,this is the original black cherry color.

One of my favorites, I have two hats in this felt, and I'm also sad that it isn't currently made. I actually was in Michael Gannon's line to have him make me an Open Road black cherry but he couldn't get the felt body.

Anyway, on a warm evening, I'm enjoying my VS Milan.

Cheers! David

If you still want that BC OR from Michael Gannon you might check in with him again. I see a BC "Rodolfo" for sale on his new webpage that looks like the older, darker "black" black cherry felt. I'm tempted to have a 2nd one made as I like both colors an awful lot.

I like it more every day. I got this Stetson and a nice, but dirty, post WWII-early 50s Champ (posted on the Champ thread and the Naptha bath thread). Both are 7-3/8 Long Oval and fit like a custom. Very nice, as that's not always the case. This one had some dirt but no stains and is a real sweetheart. I might just give it a naptha bath tomorrow morning and see how much more the blue undertones might pop out. No one notices the dirt but me, though....

I'll keep hoping for a non-black cherry with some color. Love the milan.


Hats are your "play", perfect for recess. Nice lid.


I begged and was rebuked by Winchester's current dye barrels. I'll just wait until the true cherry appears again.

I just love both flavors of the black cherry. I wish I could grab one with the darker/blacker black cherry while they're available now.... I know Rodolfo has both... arg!

After a very slow boat ride cross country by FedEx (12 days from end of auction...), my Stetson St. Regis gray homburg arrived today. I am very happy, other than this is the tightest, small 7 1/4 on earth. I popped it on right out of the box and had to do a double take on the size, I thought it was a 7! Off to Mike Miller's in the morning for a stretch and a LO treatment. Still, this is a great homburg, once it is my size, sure to get some major head time. Pictures in appropriate threads when I get the images processed.
