What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[1mach1]

Harv your straw of yesterday was a standout, sir!!


It's straw weather here today. I pulled out the "intended wedding hat" of last season. I avoided wearing this specially commissioned Panama at my daughters wedding last September so that it wouldn't rain. The skies looked ominous, and I knew that if I wore the Panama it would definitely rain, so I switched to a Homburg and the sun popped through.

Should I have the crown raised a touch, like almost 1 cm (knowing that I would lose the same amount of brim width)?! Opinions, PLEASE.

Thanks, Charlie!
I think I would sacrifice some brim and raise the crown a bit. Looks like you have enough brim on that one.
Who made it?

Beautiful, Alan!

Andy, Harv, hatsRme, jhe, b-man, nice FP btw, nice display of lids guys!

I'm tinkering around a bit with the 4X Stagecoach Indy conversion that John Galt did for me. I lowered the crown height a little and then recreased it again with a Center Dent. As soon as I can get a darker ribbon I'll change that out again too. I have to say John G. does 'em up nice...this one's way too hot for Summer wear though...

When will that one be finished?

Today this black Stagecoach... untrimmed and not going to.

Looks great, Terry. I don't think would change ribbon color if it was me. I really like the color combo!

Joao, that Stagecoach is absolutely beautiful! What is the brim on that one, 4 1/2"?

Thanks to all you hat loving 'enablers', I introduce my first vintage (1970's) Dobbs Straw! It is, according to Jazz pianist Chick Corea, 'Light as a Feather'

Very sharp, and a perfect backdrop as well!

4 1/4" but it gives 3 7/8" to 4" with the pencil roll. I like the dark grey ribbon. The feathers are still there... but don't know if I will remove them someday. They are a conversation starter...

Thanks for all the opinions, suggestions regarding this morning's Panama, gents. It's a Panama Hats Direct "Special Reserve" quality (barely) which was finished by 3rd generation hatter Vince Corvelli of Bethesda, Maryland. http://americanhatters.com/

And as for the other hats of today...
Completely SPLENDID Echter Mayser, mayserwegener. Classic!

Joao, that brim needs no trim.

All Panamas, All day, Alan! What are the FX? PERFECT!

Jeff that F.P is also just perfect!

TJones I think that convo is just what the doctor ordered... sublime!

NewJack your new Panama is so, SO right for you, sir! Avatar material!!

 

[NewJack]

Thanks to all...I have a ways to go but I have good teachers!!! :cheer2:

Akubra Stylemaster

I'm posting a this a little late, but here is my new (to me) Akubra Stylemaster that I bought on Ebay and wore today to work.

 

[g.durand]

Nice hats all around, gents.

This one isn't in the same class as Charlie's custom number or Alan's supernatural or NewJack's Dobbs, but it's a hat I can expose to some perspiration on a hot day without fretting too much.

Modern Open Road Panama, reshaped.

 

[hatsRme]

Lt.Hats, you are styling in that Stylemaster, sir. Really a great lid for you, IMHO.

We all have a "Yard hat" GDurand, and that's sure a nice one. Give it time to break in, like Renaud's "fence building, hog chasing, brush cutting, hay hauling hat," reposted here...

Heck, you can see lots of that sort of action on any given night down at the local public house.

No chance to check in this week, until now. Looks like I've missed a lot of good stuff.

Warm here in NH (as it was in the Cincinnati area where I've been the last few days), wearing my VS milan Dualist
