What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatophile]

Great contributions Bruno and Alan.
Bruno both tie and hat are vintage. Tilden made hats for Henry the Hatter in Detroit. I have 2, both are great hats.

Nice start to the day.
Dave, the Whippet looks grand.
Esther, that hat has a rich color to it, I really like it.
Nice Resistol today, Mark (and I detect the beginnings of some new facial hair?).
Chamuco, it always seems there is some alcohol involved in your photos. You're my kinda guy!
Joao, that 7XB still alomost glows...
Panadora, that's a magnificent lid! What is it?
Matt, the Strat looks great. I'd love to weigh in on the new Stetsons, but despite my best efforts, they won't send one to me!

Skipped the Whippet today - Went with the D'Aquino Mk I. Mid ribbon for mid-week.

Looks great with the jacket! And by itself for that matter.

Esther - Darn right Western (US) of you. I like that coffee color.

Thank you, the colour is called tizane, don't ask me why...( most times it refers to some sort of herbal tea.)
Sometimes there is a little daisy duke in every girl I guess.

Interesting tie!
You are looking suave as usual.

I Lived in Florence for 3 years.

Ahh, Florence. The most beautiful Italian city. I love it there.

Miami that is (as always) an amazing lid!

Getting back (finally) to Perry's tip top Tilden... GREAT color!!

I know where that store is (or used to be). Lived in Florence for 3 years.

Do you have a date on that hat, Alan? The red tag I understand is later (40's). I have a similar one, but with a different sweat band. That one looks amazing.

Thank you MB... The paper size tags were used at different times. This hat is from the mid to late 1950s.

The original posting of this hat can be seen here. Looks like I dated it 1954 from a penciled year on the box it came in.

My coffee matched my hat!
No worries, i left it on for 3 seconds!

Nice color Esther. I've been wanting a "rust" color western (I think I have one but it's still on John Galt hands WTB were is he again?).

Joao, that 7XB still alomost glows...

I tried not to but seems to be hard.

A fine day for my lightest felt hat!

Alan, that is a beautiful, rare bird. Magnificent.

 

[Chamuco]

Chamuco that's one of the nicest new Milans I've seen! Never the same weave as the old days, but the color, shape, ribbon color; EVERYTHING is perfect!!

Had to take the risk to get something extreme Hats !!

I got the "Natural" but the brown is very nice. Why not put it on the Peter Bros thread?

Last week I was thinking it time to put away my straw hats and bring out the felts. Today we needed to go to town and it was quite warm so I found the one straw types I had not put away, a hemp Arkubra, planters style

Hey everyone!
Nice lids today.

Being still Whippetless, I can't participate on Wednesdays. So, I just have to admire everyone else's.
Today was warm enough to give my Dobbs Manilan Braid a sweat test. You see, when it first arrived, the perforated leather sweatband was very dry, nearly crispy. I didn't want to replace it, so I slowly and patiently applied Lexol to it over a period of a week until it softened up quite a bit. The first time I wore it for an extended period, it left some black bits on my forehead. Fearing a compete disintegration was imminent, I stopped wearing it until I could determine the condition of the leather. More Lexol and careful inspection later, I decided the flakes were just the finish on the leather coming off a spot where the band had held a crease for decades without being flexed, and then being manipulated.
I wore it for 4 hours of walking and hanging out, got it sweaty, and no more bits came off of the band.

I was even confident enough to gently bend the sweat out far enough to get a pic of the size tag.

So glad to have been able to preserve this one.
