Harv -excellent color combination of the two earth tones of the hat and shirt.
I've been AWOL for the past week or so - been wearing the same hat - my Akubra Banjo Paterson. We tend to get afternoon showers here in Cleveland during the summer, so wearing a straw is not always the best option...
Here's a hat that doesn't get much wear any longer, and it should see more head time. It's an Australia market Cattleman. It's seen its share of water, wind, and sun. Without liner, it makes for a great summer hat. By far the biggest brimmed-hat I own.
Alan - another superb straw.
Well, gentlemen - it's a beautiful Sunday morning in Cleveland, and it's Father's Day - which means I don't have to wash the dishes today.
Wearing one of my Fed IV Deluxe today.
Another gorgeous hat, Alan. I've gotten a few gems off that auction site - the homburg I'm wearing today being one. Appeared to be unworn, though the sweat had dried out. Art took care of that in no time.
Hah! It all came together quite by accident, I can assure you. I typically update my FB profile pic with my daily hat photo, and one of my childhood buddies who is a "Burner" said I'm ready for Burning Man.
TJones great job on re-blocking. Hat looks perfect. Love the ribbon. I think the best dimensions I've seen yet.
Alan - gorgeous Knox. Amazing condition, too. Not sure where you find all these jewels.
Bandit - great bash on the Fed. Looks like the real deal.
David - nice felt on the 25...
I'm still waiting for a day that is both dry enough and warm enough to wear my Cuenca straw. Until then, it will be another felt.
Today - a Borsalino Como.
g.durand - wonderful Marathon. Looks brand new.
Rag and Bone Man - very nice ensemble. Impeccable.
David - I didn't realize Art was making Art-Lites in his bleached felts. Very nice summer felt.
Harv - The BGCD is great any day - and especially in stormy weather
Perry - always nice to...
Smoothsailor - that's a great photo. Nothing wrong with the hobo/beater look.
NewJack - I have a couple modern Stetsons and find them to be pretty rugged. I haven't seen this model you're wearing - quite a nice one.
Ingineer - I think your weather must be better than mine - as it's finally...
Welcome to the Lounge, Brimster. Sounds like you have a good start towards your Akubra collection. I can imagine all of your Akubras come in quite handy with your work environment.
If you're looking for a Squatter, the folks at Hats Direct (http://www.hatsdirect.com) are my favorite Australia...
NewJack - I like the Dobbs and the tie and jacket. Very nice.
Pierre - you can never go wrong with an Akubra. Good look with the brim snapped up.
I was watching Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby last night. Grant's fedora made me think of my 1930s inspired VS Black...
g.durand - the VS is perfect in the surroundings. Just a wonderful photo.
Great photo Alan. You are fortunate to still have a parent with you. Both of mine are gone. It's been just over a year since mom passed, and I still think about her nearly daily.
I've been a bit under the weather...
Great photos ivansmith! Starting the kid out right!
Beauty of a Whippet David.
Harv - this is a Stetson I'm not familiar with - any idea the date of manufacture?
I've been wearing this since the weekend - early '50s OR.
