What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

This vintage Knox superfine came with me today but it’s a 7 5/8. My head is a 7 1/2. When I’ve tried to shim it the sweat buckles, no matter where I place the shin. It works as is, but it’s very loose. Pics are from out and about but one. The last is from home, sitting on a ‘64 Ampeg b-15n.

What a fine looking hat


Best,
Joe

Very cool Camp Draft. How do you like the felt on it? I have always read good things about Akubra.

Oddly enough I prefer the imperial over the heritage felt. The Fed IV heritage may be the higher quality but even in moonstone which would require a little more prep on their part before the lighter color it is stiffer and thicker. The imperial develops a nice hand and suppleness after a few exposures to the elements.

Corrected my felt references.

Love that Portis, Michael.
Thanks Perry. Love that brim on your offering for the day. Great look.



Knox Twenty pairs well with your Filson Michael.





Best, Eric -
Thanks Eric.

Love the color on this winter morning in Minnesota Perry. The hat pairs well with your glorious shirt and tie.



Sharp outside dudes today Michael.



Vintage Stetson Sovereign Twenty hat adventures today.

Snow blowing walkways and driveways was the task for my green hat this morning. Working hard has the fine snow particles lightly icing on the crown and brim. Inside it warms u and the particles brush off easily without leaving a mark. The vintage hats are durable for my adventures.







Best, Eric -
Thanks again, Eric. Your Sovereign Twenty is looking great today. The last of our snow pretty much melted away during the day today. Just in time for a new batch of ice that is supposed to show up tonight. Ha ha.

You look cold but comfy under that Knox, Michael.
Thanks Randy. The felt on this Knox is thick and dense enough that it actually feels like it has some insulating properties.

Thanks all,
Michael
