What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Redfokker]

Have you ever seen one of these? A "Supernatural Tulcan Panama" by the Equadorian Panama Hat Co. of New York. I believe this to be from the 1930s, but am not certain.

Sweet, beautiful straw.

We have been talking about moving closer to the east coast, which means closer to Ecuador. Since MrsFed's Father passed away, there is more of an urgency to the desire to be closer. This may mean Texas, Florida, North Carolina... I even looked at Arkansas, where my baby brother lives, but a few things turned me off... I am finding that, like most cities, the area is more important than the state itself. I look into one city and the crime rate, etc, are not attractive, but 30 miles down the road and it's like a different planet.

But after days like the last 2 here with temps near or at 100F, I have my doubts about surviving the heat and any kind of elevated humidity. All I did was run a few errands and vacuum all the sand out of MrsFed's car (left over from the beach trip last week), and I was done for!

Cut-off blue jeans, Vans Skater slip-ons, a light cotton shirt and the Wormser Milan and I was still sweating up a flash flood!

I would hate to see a fellow Oregon Lounger leave the area. But understandable, isn't California closer to Ecuador? Anything on the other side of the Rockies has killer humidity, that is why we love our smokey climate. Love the color and texture of the Wormser.

Your white-on-white look is as fresh as the spring morning dew.

+1 fresh indeed!

Nice Derby Michael. Is this a 30s vintage? This one has great lines and crown.

The finish on this nutria is really shining in this image. I really like seeing it.

You are holding up well under the downpour, well equipped with a proper rain hat.

Thanks Red. The store that sold this derby went out of business in 1917, or thereabout. It's a bit hard to make out, but I think they operated under that name from sometime in the 1880s til they closed.

Great to see @casechopper joining the party this AM as well.

@KarlCrow - looks to be moist where you are!

So cool, is it lined? I'll have to search the Bowler/Derby thread for it.

Wonderful crease on that one Jim.

High heat and smoke in the valley today. The Hemp Milan Strat will protect me today. The Lockheed Connie pin is vintage, the hat is a modern.

yes, it will be moist most days intermittently now until next June, when it will be nearly always moist again for summer. Bloody weather.

your bgcd is creased fairly identically to mine, looks great (-:
