What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Redfokker]

Thanks, Anthony. The body is a medium blue grey.... ribbon and brim edge are violet. Here's a picture in better light.

Love that contrast with the violet. Really special.

Doc didn't quite recall our last appt and the brown Everyman. We were about finished when he asked to do some muscle/reactive tests on my arm, so I transferred the pecan NW Hats to my other hand. That's when he mentioned, "I wear fedoras, too. It makes good sense, if you think about it." Well, that got us going on hats. I said I noticed that he had looked over at my hat a couple times during my last visit and he said, "oh, did I?" I went right into "this is a different hat. I actually ordered it from Mike Miller in celebration of my visit with the surgeon who recommended (as you did) to just take MRI's semi-annually and blood tests annually."

Dr: Who?
Me: Mike Miller of NW Hat Company in Eugene.
Dr: So this is custom made?
Me: Yes, fits like a glove, excellent hand...
Dr: I can see it's a quality piece...is that a leather sweatband?
Me: Yes, and satin liner, 100% beaver felt... all for $250.
Dr: (Incredulously) $250??? That's an incredible price.
Me: Yes, I think so too. (A bit about Red's 1942 Rose Bowl hat, which influenced my decision to go with pecan felt).
Dr: Tell me the shop name one more time
Me: NW Hats, or NW Hat Company.
Dr: Got it.

As he finished up summarizing things I pulled Mike's card from my wallet and handed it to him. He looked on the card at the 2 styles of hats, and said "so he can make either style?"

Me: He can make anything you want. He converted my old western hat into an Outback style I plan to use when hiking and fishing.
Dr: Excellent.

Anyway, it was a great checkup and a great chat about hats in general and my pecan NW Hats fedora. According to his nurse, he wears hats all the time so chatting about hats was sure to come up. What a fun afternoon. Clean bill of health, lunch with Mrs Fed, stopped in to see a friend whose husband passed away recently and a leisurely drive home... without clouds and rain!!!

I'm really happy for you Fed! I think this Dr will go out of his way to give a fellow hat enthusiast the best care. Good call on turning him onto Mike.

This Stagecoach in the morning

Later to take my mother to visit her old friend, the Mackey but forgot to take a picture... -.-'

I see so many great lids out here! I'd love to comment on each and every one individually, but at the moment I just don't have the time. I'm afraid you 'll have to do with the more impersonal 'like' [emoji20]

This is me today. Hat tilted back, dangerously close to hipster territory!

Super start to the day here folks! You're all a tough act to follow, but....

Another hit and run morning, taking Mother to an early doc's appointment, under a 1940s STETSONIAN.

I wouldn't be able to take off Mr. Fry either.

Looking good, Serge! Be careful with that hipster thing.
I think you have a Tom Baker Dr. Who vibe going on today. Nice!!

 

[1mach1]

Wow. Very nice. Now, that's a brim!
Great color, and a fantastic photo of you.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Yes I do.

It was the one that was at hand...

That's fantastic! Don't worry, you're still a few steps away from hipster!
