Thin ribbon, non-OR, Royal Stetson today.

Man, I love that lid. Great look.

1930s Barbisio Rat-Gondin (is that beaver or nutria?)... a narrow brimmed hombie wind cheater in mint condition courtesy Dr. Dinerman.

Suits you well, Alan.

Thanks, JtL. I like the color combo with contrasting ribbon and edge binding. It'd be nice to find more like this with different color combos, but I just don't see them.

Nice curve on that Nutria Homburg--sold in France?

Thanks Rodkins, hatophile, and Akubra Man!

To answer your question Alan, I took it off and sat it on the arm rest in the chair next to me. Luckily no one was sitting there, and it's definitely more comfortable to lean my head back against the seat haha.

I'm embarassed to even put it up here among all the fine hats but seeing as I'm just starting out I hope I'll be forgiven. Anyhow snapped this before taking the dog for a walk.

No need to be chagrined, brspiritus, I think you have a fine looking lid there. Is it a felt hat, or a woven fiber one?

 

[DRB]

White is my favorite color. Good choice.

Bulgaria... Dinerman posted photos of the hat here, though they don't do justice to the rich black felt.

thanks for the comments!

Woven Rayon or polyester. The hat cost me 200 pesos in Downtown Davao City, Philippines ($4 or so). It is cool and comfortable in the summer though just not the best thing when it's in the 50's outside and I need a felt fedora.

Today I've been wearing this Stetson 7X CB. It doesn't say Open Road on it, but it's close. I'm still waiting for my 100, but this one will do in the meantime. The felt is nice and smooth, but a little stiff. Still it's a nice wearing lid.

I went through my cache the other day and decided I should be wearing some of the ones that aren't Whippets.

You're a natural.

Thank you. That's very kind of you to say.

Jimmy and Bob, just for giggles I'd like to see you two in a lid that isn't amazing. Of your vast collections there doesn't seem to be a lemon in the bunch.:eusa_clap

Today I wore the Nostalgia that I picked up from FL member Rodkins. I'm really liking this one!

Rodkins is the distributor of many a good hat here it seems.
