What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Orangegrad]

Nice Borso Jared. I don't see anything wrong with that one at all. And the brim up in the front just adds personality.

SBG the blue smoke is a beautiful color, and those shots are awe inspiring as well. Absolutely fantastic photos.
JOB that is a classic. Fantastic looking FP.
Roan that's an excellent vintage Stetson. Looks good on you.
MoK - great christy, very professional looking with the suit.
JLee congrats on the Borsalino. Great job on the crease, and I'm very partial to the brim up myself. Looks good

Enjoying a day off with the new one and a couple of excited big sisters in an 8-panel tweed cap this beautiful afternoon.

Mike - Nice Lock & Co. How recent a model is it?

Looking dapper as usual Richard. The Lock & Co probably looks older than it is. Everything about the construction looks 50's down to an onion skin topper but there was a Brooks Bros price tag behind the sweat with $80 on it so I think it's likely 70-80's. At any rate it's been re-blocked by BSHW to it's current state.

Sweet pix of lots of pride and joy Dale.

Great hats today gents!!!
But I have to say that Jared...
you have fine features that go well with a fedora.
I just think brim down in front suits you better.

Thanks Mike - their hats were fine hats back in the 50's.

Ready for fall

Straw hats put away, Stetson Whippets and others ready to go.

I picked up a new Akubra last month (not pictured) in Sydney.

Spectators (or Co-respondents) ready for a winter trip to the Carribean.

I am wearing my very old Knox Bowler with the fancy curl that cannot be duplicated today. I will be sending it to Black Sheep Hat Works for a new ostrich leather sweatband this week. The one I had installed on my Dobbs Lords Hat is the best!

Thanks Mike - their hats were fine hats back in the 50's.

And judging by mine they were very nice later on too. Mine was very used but some pro care brought it back to life nicely.

Went out to dinner tonight in my VS Anasazi

Sporty looking bowler Howardeye. You're doing it some justice.
Mike the Anasazi is a fantastic looking hat. The intricate looking ribbon work is the most impressive I've seen, and the color is great.
Representin' the ancient ancestors from both continents with the hat and the hammer. I dig it.

I'm "gone walkabout" lately in Alaska which has given me opportunity to wear my "walkabout" hat.

Mike the VS Anasazi is a very nice looking hat

 

[dh66]

Great shot Hatguy1. Way to put that one to use.
Thanks for the nice words on the cap & kiddos Mike, HatsrMe, & ManofKent. I've sure got the bull by the horns these days, so to speak.
Up early, grey Dobbs for a grey and rainy morning here in central AL

Yes they were still selling very nice hats up until the early 90's (to be fair their current stock isn't any worse than most places nowadays...).

D Bar J 50x Western

 

[ManofKent]

Howard - great bowler

Mike - beautiful colour felt and typically wonderful ribbon work

Hatguy1 - looks a good walking hat. Great shot.

Dale - nice stingy. I'm guessing it may be grey, but still pretty warm?

Sam - a fine looking western!

 

[Orangegrad]

Great family photo DH66
Mike - you and I share a fondness for the Anasazi. One of my favorites.
Casechopper - now that's a Western. Looks perfect.


Today I'm wearing a Royal Stetson.
