What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Richard Morgan]

Very nice. Musher like in Alaska? Love the moonstone color.


Great catch. Those elusive nutrias do move quickly. I like the color.

Thanks Mike

Both!

Thanks steur. It's the only one I've seen. I'm liking it for it's original out and about in the country uses.

Great looking wool felt. Better than some of my fur felts I would say. Make that many of, haha. Looks like a great accompanying outfit too.

Thanks,
Michael

I'd go with the Jiffy. They're easier to find.

Mike, Michael, John, thank you! The Barbisio should really get some more wear (but there are so many others to wear as well). I do believe Jiffy's tend to sit more still when hunted than game Birds, so they would be much easier to bag...

Hey all!
The Dobbs West again!

Have a great day!

It'll do the hat the world of good to be worn after it's been neglected for so long.

Beautiful day in the Northwest. Brent OR Clone refurb whip stitch will see the light of day. Great hats worn by all this fine day.

Great colours on that hat, Mike.

Congrats on the Nutria! I'd love it for this store logo alone (not that anyone sees it, but I like knowing it's there).

Thanks Bob, that store logo was one of the things that convinced me to bid on it.

I just finished a redo on this vintage Bradford.

Another great job Terry! Take it easy on that back buddy ... you're going to need it.

Lotta great stuff this cold a.m.

I just finished a redo on this vintage Bradford. I didn't like the block shape when I did the first conversion. This second time around I took it apart again and redid it on a different but straight sided block. This second redo came out much better. Not quite the actual Stratoliner that I've always wanted but my version from a hat of the same vintage era is good enough for now. I'll have more pics in the Conversion Corral when the ol' back gets a little better and I can sit longer...

Nice tall crown with a 2 3/4 brim. I put a little more rake on it this time around. 4 3/4 at the pinch with a rake sloping to 4 inches in the back.

The felt is just phenomenal on this hat

Some Johnny Cash. The Sun years. Luther Perkins on the Fender Esquire.

Another beautiful conversion, Terry. I really like the colours on this hat.

Thank you, Bob. I'm hoping this second round of steroids helps get rid of it.

I have to admit that this one is a bit too much for my taste, Matt. Valliant effort though!

Darnit. You're probably not gonna like the neon chartreuse derby I just scored, then.

Stetson Nutria Quality. From the bay a couple of weeks ago. Looked like silver belly from the seller’s pics. Turned out to this pleasant brown after cleaning.

Liner is long lost which is a disappointment

Beautiful job, Terry (as usual!).

Hope that the back feels better, my friend.

Thank you, buddy. It's still messing with me but I feel like I'm getting better.

Temperature dropped 15 degrees in an hour this morning.

This afternoon's 30 something degrees and high northerly winds led me to call on the 1910s Knox derby for a great top down galavant around with my son. One of our stops was on the shores of Back Bay near Knotts Island.

Another stop was an antique store where I found this nifty Italian number. It is a hat, not a lamp shade. Even got pics of the boy trying it on, but promised that I wouldn't post them. He has more self respect than I do.

Have fun.

That Borsalino is exceptional Michael

Thanks Richard. Your Nutria Quality today is superb. The only one I've seen in person is my park ranger hat and it is a very stiff felt. How is it in your western?

Great old derby Matt. The other, priceless!
