What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[1mach1]

Great Bantam, Harv and a fine modification on the premier milan, A&A. :eusa_clap

In Buffalo we are in the midst of boating season.

Thank you kindly, Alan.
That is a stunning bowler. What a great ribbon.

Hey everyone!
I was so pleased with the results of my re-refurbing of my Young's, I d recided to fix up my c.1950 Stetson 3XBQ velour, my first attempt at a hat repair. When I got it, it looked great, but with a little gentle handling, the sweat crumbled into flakes and dust. I wanted to wear it, so I reshaped it the best I could at the time, sewed in a piece of a hemp belt for a sweat, and wore the heck out of it. Every time I've worn it recently, I always felt it deserved better. So,.....
A dismantling, reblock, new sweat and ribbon later:

I thought about putting the rust colored wide ribbon it came with back on, but got so many compliments on the blue polyester temp I had on it that I decided to dye a piece of rayon/cotton o a similar shade.
Have a great day!

Great selection of lids Gentlemen !
Me , no hat today I'm at work all day, no hats allowed.... Sadly ( I think I was born in the wrong era), but I'm here enjoying yours.....

I decided to switch from the Stetson Milan to a deep blue Dobbs Fifteen homburg. This hat is hard to photograph, it's so dark...

Nice!!

RobertM, How would you rate the quality of the Monterrey? I've been interested in them for some time but haven't as yet had a chance to hold one. I like very much what I see.

Thanks Harv, Bob and moon--yes the gods shone on me for this one. Thanks to fellow lounger bond for digging this one up and making it available to me.

I was fine tuning the shape on this Resistol tonight. My wife and I are visiting some friends tomorrow night to help send their daughter off to grad school at the University of Texas in Austin. I thought this one would be appropriate for the occasion. It was originally sold in Big Spring, TX. Hmmm, come to think of it, the KM I was sporting earlier has a Sakowitz Houston stamp on the sweat. Sakowitz was a venerable department store there for many years. If I'm not mistaken, I may have read here somewhere that KM was also a Byer-Rolnick brand. But I'm fuzzy on the details. So it was a two-Texas hat day.

I love that one, Michael.

Agree. Any other views?

Thanks. I think this particular model is a fair - to good quality straw; not that I am so very familiar with various levels. Price was $125.00. I have another Monterrey, also bought at JJ's that is a higher quality hat, with a higher price tag to match. I picked this one because it was a nice, wider brim, informal, goes with anything straw.
