What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[g.durand]

Thank you, sir.

Yes, Super lid, G. I finally got around to measuring mine to answer your question about the brim. It's a dimensional, and by my clumsy measure 2-1/2" in front and 2-5/8" on the sides. The front of the bash is 5", 4-1/8" in back. Although recycling the photo, I was wearing this VS whiskey this afternoon...

Good choice, Mr.hatsRme!

...Sunday: Carmack whiskey...

...VS Whiskey...

...I was wearing this VS whiskey this afternoon...

Every hat in this thread is amazing, but these whiskey colored fedoras really stand out for me! It's a beautiful color; I hope I can find one for myself someday.

G.D. and hatsRme - a pair of beauties

Thumbs up to the whiskeys fellas. That is a very appealing shade, a nice alternative to the darker chocolate brown which I initially liked but now seem to find to be too dark for my taste. Maybe its just because its summertime. HatsRme is that very common to have a dimensional brim shorter in front like that? I have an older hat that also is about 1/8 shorter in front, and have always wondered if it was suppused to be like that

g.durand - I love that VS Whiskey color with the ribbon trim. Just perfect. I have a wanderer or order now, and I'm thinking a whiskey color Southwestern theme fedora will be my next.

It may actually rain here in Cleveland today. It's been a while since it has. It's been cool, but dry. We just installed a full waterproofing system (the water table is rising, and water literally would seep through the basement floor). Cost a fortune, but the nice thing is that the life-time warranty is for the house, not the owner - so when I sell in a few years, the warranty will pass to all subsequent owners. What I'd love to see is heavy rain to prove that this razzle dazzle system works.

Wearing what could be my most comfortable fedora - Borso Alessandria.

Yes, the dimensional brim, as it is known, is a scant bit wider on the sides than in the front and back. Non-dimensional brims are the same measure all around.

Akubra Fed IV

 

[hatsRme]

Looks like a SERIOUS day, Sam... great proportions for you, sir. Excellent photo!

More like sun in my eyes and still waking up
Nice whiskey yesterday by the way. I agree with Zombie_61. Whiskey is one of the nicest hat colors out there.

Looks like a SERIOUS day, Sam... great proportions for you, sir. Excellent photo!

ManofKent: Again, that Fed IV works very well for you.

B'man: Love the new Tumwater. I need to get ahold of TonyB again and get something worked out...

Jedwbpm: That barbecue looks like fun!

Delectans: If I were out in that heat I'd be wearing one of my beater hats and not a panama like yours. You're a braver man than me. Nice photos and looks like fun.

 

[ManofKent]

Thanks Sam - Yours looks great too Is that a mid-brown, rather than the current dark brown?

Andy - those Borso's suit you.

 

[ManofKent]

Cool start this morning, but I confess I abandoned a hat late morning as it came out rather warm. Wegener Homburg:

It's just the standard dark brown Imperial Fed IV.

 

[hatsRme]

A wickedly wonderful Wegener, Richard!

 

[alanfgag]

+1... beautifully portrayed as well.

It's just the standard dark brown Imperial Fed IV.

Thanks Sam - it looks lighter than the pictures on hatsdirect suggest - I was going for moonstone, but that shade is tempting...

Charlie & Alan - thanks folks

 

[Chepstow]

Al, thanks my friend for the kind words!

Charlie, lovely VS and nice hatstand in the back!

g-durand, wonderful VS too, love the ribbon felt combination!

Jeff, hammer Tumwater, a beauty round around!

Richard, that hat is super, a great look and color, a top Wegener!
