What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

What a week! It somehow feels like it’s been a little longer than that. I’m sure you can find a couple more if you dig around that collection of yours, though.

Stevens Pacesetter - California Royalist
Silverbelly felt
4 1/2 crown as shaped (about 5 open)
2 inch tan w/ charcoal spotted striped grosgrain ribbon with back bow
2 1/8 rolled underwelt brim

I had inquired with the seller regarding the Moth holes in the felt on this Silverbelly Stevens Pacesetter. They assured me that they did not go all the way through the felt. Turns out they were incorrect as a few of them do. But I’m not too worried about it as it was the really awesome ribbon that caught my eye and I got it at the right price. The ribbon is a super cool and unusual medium tan with charcoal speckled stripes fashioned in a back bow. In certain lights there is a pink or lavender tone to it. But in direct sunlight it’s definitely more tan. The felt on the crown is super soft. Almost so much so it didn’t want to hold shape at first... but after a good brushing which released clouds of dust... it kinda sprung to life. The felt is a very nice Silverbelly shade I don’t see as much on dress hats. The aforementioned mothing is a little more than I preferred a few spots entirely through the felt on the crown. The largest of which is hidden in the pinch along with more under the brim. I had taken more photos of the mothing... but for some reason They did not save. I may use this as an opportunity to attempt a moth divot repair. Either way it’s a fun little hat with a real unusual whimsical ribbon and it fits rather nicely.

Spring was definitely in the air today. I was able to wear a lighter weight coat along with my Stetson Premier.
I was flattered when a lady said, as I walked past, "that's a really nice hat." Don't you just love it when that happens View attachment 313766 View attachment 313768

Thanks Stefan. Yes, the Portis likes the sun.

Wowser, ended on a high note with the Nobelsca. Fantastic set.

Thanks Joe.

Thanks Alan. I've been sort of looking for one like this for awhile now.

Thanks Bob. I like that guess. It feels fairly old, but as I said, I have no real idea. I wonder when they quit using a taped seam on the sweat?

Thanks Steve. Should be very aerodynamically stable. Ha ha.

Great looking hat, and outfit, Steve. Not quite springlike here yet, but getting closer.

Thanks all,
Michael

One advantage of no-themed hat wearing is that you can pick any hat that takes your fancy. Here are a couple.

Back from a work trip this afternoon. Air travel in the pandemic is complicated. I traveled with caps.

Out for a walkabout after a spot of dinner in a 30's Borsalino.

Cheers, Eric -

Looking at Bob's fine Resistol, then Michael's equally fine Resistol, something I noticed. Bob is wearing a denim top whilst Michael looks like he's off to Siberia.

Bob, you sure have a great collection of ORs. That Resistol is a real beauty. You and Greg have really given me an education with that style of hat.

Went today for the vaccine and wore this Borsalino. Wore it and some hiking boots, you know in case I croaked or something, die with my boots and hat on sort of thing. Did not have bad reaction. Failed to get a photo of me with the Borso on today. Afterward we went and ate Thai food. I did take a long nap in the afternoon. My arm is sore tonight and I have not gotten to sleep so I am posting this riveting account of my day. Also of course surfing the interweb looking at hats and drinking a chocolate ale. I told you this was riveting.
