What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Another 30s Stetson Standard Quality from Ivano today while out holidaying in Wellington (our capital city).

Particularly smitten by the rakish angled, long tails on the frayed bow and the brim binding details.

Dang Ross... how big IS that hat?

Haha, no gigantism or Mad Hatter tricks here, Joe! Just a super small deck of cards, all 52 of em have survived in this questionable pouch for several decades.
Hat is 6” crown and 3” bound brim #52. This 5x and my 7x raw edge both share 6x3 dimensions and 52 block, makes for full crown look.

Wegener "Start" possibly late 1920s. I was excited + happy when I discovered this rare find back in January.

Those old Portis always have such a classic look. At first glance I was thinking Hanover Square then I saw the ribbon. Very nice Michael

I love the ribbon on this Portis. What does the liner look like? Does it have the "manly man" scenes of hobbies/activities around the Portis logo. I let mine go a while back and miss the liner fun.

Was hunting a hat like that for a long time...could not happen without Brent's generosity!
Hope all fellow loungers and friends are safe and sound.
Cheers,
Panos

I'm such a fan of back bow hats. Dating from 1955-1959 (during this resurgence of the style). I have yet to find any ads or hats from 1954 or 1960. Seems the style comeback was short lived. Of course, when you see Steve's 1920s version, this was one of the original versions. Love the color and ribbon width.



Wow Steve! It is rare to see one of these older back bows. Love the frayed edges of the bow treatment. Of course, the finish of this one is superb too. I really like this one a whole bunch!!


That bow treatment is so cool, but that liner...wowza!

That hat is large and in charge! But those cards are really something special...so cool!


If I were to be a beret wearer, this would be a coveted example. Sure love the rich color.


Classy lines Perry. You always look sharp and well put together!

Beauty.

Thank you, Stefan. Your hat parades of late have been stellar.

Thank for the compliment sir. I do take some inspiration from your daily example.



It deserves to be worn often as it looks dynamite. I have a Featherweight and I struggle with steaming the hat to a smooth starting point. Darn'd if it always has some unique memory of a previous shape or takes a new unknown shape. Yours looks very orderly. Grand!



I say spend many ays under it. The hat dimensions are flattering.

Thanks a lot, Stephan. Guess the brilliance of Italian “week” inspired me.
