What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[mmbarnes]

Hey folks!
This Keith Bros. "The Tiger Special" is my oldest hat. A Goodwill find. I suspect it was made in the mid to late teens. The unreeded sweat had fallen out, I had to just stitch it back in the best I could.The original wide ribbon, with a big, unruly almost-but-not-quite back bow was disinegrating when I got it so I did my best to replicate it's loose, sloppy grandeur.

Still going after about a century!
Have a great day!

I had an older gentleman with a thick accent come up to me on the train platform and tell me I looked like I stepped right out of the '50s.
That was perceptive. I'm wearing a '59 Resistol.

Consider it a badge of courage. Outstanding gray Resistol Jay.

c.1915-1917 Dobbs with a very early Cavanagh Edge treatment

Just love the curl of that brim Justin. The ribbon is a treat as well. It appears to be a very dark green?

Great photo of a happy couple. Love the matching fedoras.

Love that Seersucker Suit. Here’s mine!

Great suit, I'm thinking seersucker this summer.

Planet Fitness and Whippet, whip it real good!

Are you just there to watch? That Whippet may not hold up to a sweat fest. It does look good though.

Mornin' All! Seemed like a nice day to wear an early Disney. Nice shade of green with a dark violet ribbon.

Yummy finish Steve. Is it more of the darker gray as seen under the brim. Love the ribbon.

I did some cardio and benched with my 14 year old, his first time.

Beauty, but I think you're over the limit on Vita-felts. Time if divest yourself of some of them. And let me know when you do.

very nice Bob, don't see too many black hats with such light colored trim. I think it looks great.

Yes sir, i cant tell if the felt is a daaaark green or black with green undertones. I like to think the latter

Winter has struck. Mix of rain and snow this morning with winds gusting to 40 mph. Dang. Dobbs Hanover Square stays on my head in the yard. Not so sure it will be the proper choice when I get out to brave the wind in the open

Could be a good day to veg with some dvds, but for now I'm braving the elements in this early 1950s overcoat. I guess I do have an errand to run before vegging can set in.

Good looking Hat. Color, proportions, ribbon, and texture everything looks just right.
