What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[drmaxtejeda]

Late to the game with all the festivities today. My wife's aunt turned 80 and they had the birthday party at the Albany Carosel I figured an early century derby was appropriate for an early century (1909 Dentzel) Merry-go-round. The entire operation is run by volunteers, from the carving of animals to selling popcorn. We toured the carving studio to see the new animals in the pipeline. Great fun, no shots of me riding though... The group of 20 family in town came to our house for a BBQ after. Flesh was burned.

Day #3 of Gordon's visit to the Ohio Valley, making it feel like Seattle. The rain has been pretty much constant and steady since Friday night.

You've inspired me, Michael. I will wear mine today, even if I don't plan to leave the house.
It is US Open and new hat brushing, steaming, stretching, and cleaning day. I haven't had time to do it since returning from Wisconsin, and this time I came back with 21 hats again, so it will take a while.

That's a great example of a hat, Max. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you today. You might have to start looking for a bigger house too. Ha ha.

Thanks,
Michael

One of my favorite customs in your stable Jim. We get our rain all next week. Yesssss! Need to get the brush and steam out.

What a nice way to spend a day off Max. Lots of fondling. We expect to see a parade of pics next week. How's that Rat Pack Cavanagh? LO vibes.

I think about it a lot. Maybe a thin ribbon. I haven't been down to see Mr. Miller in over a year and he ain't gettin' any younger.

Inspired choice, Red. Is it steam driven?

Great looking JCP Michael. Enjoy the cool morning.

Thanks Red. I think this was my most recent hat purchase. Could be wrong there. Ha ha. Slim brim 92 1/4") and low crown for a thin ribbon. I like it.

Thanks,
Michael

I still haven't gotten to it, Mike. I am starting with the wide brims, but it won't be long now. It got a little wrinkled in transport, but not much.

No, they refurbished all the mechanics, original 1909 bearing blocks had to go, and they did upgrade the controls to 20th century electronics for safety. The original electric motors that spin the structure were preserved. It was a labor of love for some local volunteers. It is amazing that the original 1909 gears survived intact.

I love that tone of gray Brent. Looking sharp!

No, Mike. You packed it well, and it arrived wrinkle-free to my friend Ron's. It just got a little wrinkled because I had to stack it along with 20 other hats in my carry-on bag. I found a soft nylon bag that almost seems purpose-built for stacking hats in, but a little wrinkling is inevitable nevertheless. I will post pics of the Cav shortly.

Nice, i thought i was the only one with a western style bowler w / a braided horsehair over the wide ribbon....bold statement.

Clearwater Hats derby for this morning’s coffee time

Love that style! I did one a couple weeks back with a similar look. Took an ond Bailey Homburg and dressed it up like a western style bowler. Mine has a 3" brim, Just wish it had a higher crown.

Casual day. Went to a flea market. Almost bought a leather hat, Native American style. But reatrained myself
