What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Teaser - my first VS Fedora

I stopped by the USPS office and picked up my first VS fedora. My time is limited as I have a meeting in a couple minutes and I barely had time to carefully remove the hat from it's protective packaging. I will try to capture the hat's features later and post them on the Art Fawcett thread.

Sahara, 2.5" brim with Fawcett ribbon is FINE!

Art, if you are listening, I AM IMPRESSED!

More coming!

Hatted in total satisfaction, Eric -

That is great, Eric! We must be on a similar wavelength. I've decided on my falcon park today.

Actually, though it is a very different hat, I donned it after thinking about that Stetson 4X western fedora that sold on ebay last night.

Congratulations, by the way!

"Mainely" spectacular images of beautiful country, Mike. Great trip with a great hat!

 

[delectans]

Some ravishing felt today, gentlemen!

Perry: Magnificent Borsalino...it looks soooo soft. That low profile felted edge is pretty special, too.


Eric: You are off to a great hat day! Beautiful Strat and a knock-out of a VS. Congrats!


Dennis: Thanks, the Silverbelly is as smooth as a baby's bottom, and is my favorite felt hat. Do you still have your wonderful Optimo Porcelain?


Jeff: What a fantastic looking lid, your Falcon Park!

Nice Belgian, Cicero.
Your IJ looks good, Henry.
That Art is magnificent, Eric. Good luck on the dog show. We do agility with our dogs, much less stressful than confirmation!
Great 30's profile on that Falcon Park, Jeff.

Bowler-guy; Nice hat pic. Your creative pic offerings I look forward to viewing. Congrats on the new hat. Any hints as to your creative idea?

Enjoy your distinctive hats sir! Eric -

 

[bowlerman]

Thanks Eric! Likewise, I always look forward to seeing your very fine collection! I should clarify, perhaps-- this Falcon Park is a custom I received last summer. I just watched that Stetson from afar yesterday. No current design projects for me right now, unfortunately. Well, maybe some oboe reeds...

Perry-- that 30s Borso is very cool-- great profile, great bash!

Beautiful, yet somehow curiously haunting pictures. The Henry looks perfect on your apparition.

Thanks, d. There was lots of beautiful stuff there to shoot. The Henry was become very comfy on my head.

I'm wearing my Resistol today. I recently tightened the front pinch a little and put a little more "swoop" in the brim

 

[hatophile]

Dashing! Josh.

 

[delectans]

Looks great, Josh! Gruff and hip at the same time with that big earring dangling from your left ear! lol

Thanks, Perry & Al!! LOL, I didn't even notice that huge earing that somehow magically appeared for the picture.

beautiful design, your sahara looks a little lighter then mine from Art, i wonder if thats the lighting. It almost has a dove felt color to it. Either way, still think it looks good. EXCELLENT JOB ART.

is that a welted edge? and whats the color of felt, as well as bow color. Great looking hat, i like the way you shaped the brim.

Cobble; The color is distorted from the morning sun coming in the windows behind me. It washed the colors out, if only it would do the same to the coffee stain that I got on my slacks. As reference, I am wearing a forest green sweater and a white, green and barn red stripped shirt. I do recall your Sahara, as I did like the features, clor and texture. How is your VS hat fairing?

Thanks for taking a look and commenting, Eric

 

[coble]

great looking hat Alan, i like the fact that everything is the same color, really gives it a clean look. The crease in the crown also suits the design very well. +1

The Black Jack Strat today. This one get a lot of wear.

 

[DJH]

Hatto - fantastic Borsalino.

B'Man - great shot, Jeff.

Josh - great shot and fantastic hat.

Eric - nothing like getting one's first VS. Yours is a great example of Art's work.

Something way different for me today. I've never before worn a western - I totally feel that the hat is wearing me! It's a really nice Resistol though.

 

[alanfgag]

Nope, you're clearly in the saddle pardner. Nice choice. I made a similar decision today.

I took some photos, i changed the brim design a little. But thats because i gave it a bath, and combed it out, and i redid the teardrop. Its fairing extremely well, its a little over a year now, and fits like a glove. The sahara really doesnt get as dirty as i thought it would, Art is using really great beaver felt. Also dealing with the texture it still has that long hair to it, especially after i combed it out, so its aging really well, for reference of change in brim my avatar is how it used to look. I also took the pinch out of the front. I just used a rough brush, and soap and water.
