[plain old dave]

STRAW Open Road. Found a brand new one on the road coming back from AT this year for $20. Go me!

Now I get to get it NOT lookin' like a taco shell.

Thank you, Douglas! Dinerman, you and Douglas, and Marc, should have some kind of contest for best in show of 'vintage-ultimate-in-good-taste'. I really think it would be a toss up! Nice lid, D-man, and as always, Douglas, too!

Greetings all! I'm so happy to have found a place where people love their hats as much as I do! So, I figure my first post, should be today's hat

My Robert Hall fur felt fedora. The nicest one I have, the rest of my hat's are wool (all 2 others ), but I'm working on getting more.

 

[deanglen]

Welcome to the Lounge, Vegasmike! Great hat and good look for you! Got wool, eh?

You have nothing to be ashamed of. Wear your campaign hat when you're out and about. We're looking for a few good men: The Campaign Hat Corps.

well mine does have a boy scout badge in the front, I guess I could change it to a army or marine one

I will wear my Aussie Digger tomorrow on the way to my haircut [unbelievable I'm going to drive like 50 miles to a barber

Thanks! And yes, most of mine are wool currently, but that gray one is actual fur, definately my nicest one at the moment.

Looking good, gents, and Tango, I like the 'stache.

Today? Well, it isn't fur felt, or wool felt, actually it's...100% polyester, O.G.106, vintage 1968, with 173d Airborne staff badge behind the jump wings. One of the remnants of a once extensive military hat collection and probably my favorite. ( I call it my "hat-of-victory-handed-away" ) I wear it for a lot of reasons, but I especially think of the chaplain on Hill 875, see this:http://www.virtualwall.org/dw/WattersCJ01a.htm Such men are few, too few.

Today I'm wearing my Grandfather's Open Road Silverbelly with a fedora bash. I don't have a picture to post, but it is in another thread.

Last night I had to do a repair to it. I opened my moth ball protected hat box earlier in the week and found a moth divot right in the front of the pinch! It was a doosey. I took some pictures of the repair process that I will post later. All in all it turned out very well. Most folks can't even see it.

Hats off to you, Brother! I am just in E. tennessee & its going to hit 100 today & I cannot bring myself to even wear a straw...I guess that is what they mean when they say "may cooler heads prevail"

Today I'm wearing my new black akubra federation. Just bashed it last night, so hopefully it does'nt look too bad.

 

[jimmy the lid]

Don't think I've ever seen the black Fed before. Looks great!

[indycop]

Thanks JTL and Dean! It was a little nerve wracking at first trying to bash it. But I think i could do it again. Gosh I must be ready for another hat already!

 

[Dinerman]

Barbisio "perugia". Some of the best felt I've laid my hands on.

 

[Jerekson]

Wow Dinerman, that's quite a hat.
