What Hat Are You Wearing Today?

[Feraud]

Feraud, do you know if the porkpie bash was initially associated with a completely upturned brim, and snapping down the front was a later developement, or vice versa?

I am not completely sure but will guess the snapped up brim was generally used later than the downturn.
That is not to say no one snapped their brims upward in the early decades but it seems more frequent later on.
Hope that makes sense..

Yes, thanks. BTW that's a rich looking hat there. Very nice!

Today I am going to a casino and have decided to wear my rose-red Mr. Stetson.

The brim is slightly stingy for me (2 inches, I usually get over 2 1/2 to 3"), but I have lost weight and will look better in the smaller brim than I did a year or two ago.

Wish me luck!

I've been looking forward to the change in weather. I purchased an olive Borsalino fed from Bernie Utz, and it's now cool enough to try it out.

Fall is such a great season!
