What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

My long haired English Woodrow today. That's my youngest daughter intentionally photo-bombing behind me. She thinks my hat selfies are a hoot

I wore it as a little homage to Stefan's wonderful English hats. Actually, I bought this one from him. View attachment 228376 View attachment 228377View attachment 228378

Love that finish Steve. Looking good

A Champ stingy today. While researching the store it was sold from a ran across a little pocketknife on ebay with their name on it. Had to have it. It seems back in the day Belk would partner with local merchants to open stores, hence the Belk-Broome name:

Great little Champ Tim. Love it. Looks very similar in style to the one I have. Mine may be a little too snug for me though .. unless it stretches out some from wear. Thought it might be good for my son who still has a smaller head than me... he said it made his brain hurt. LOL

Ventured forth because I was out of milk. I miss wearing a daily hat. Today, a very old Dalton thin ribbon I picked up a few years ago.

Scarf and that hat. You could be one of the Dalton gang!

You sure do have some great hats. I’m glad that you’ve been sharing them with us. Thanks!

And @Shadow1948, you're a snazzy dresser too!

Nice Dalton Jim!

Thanks, guys. I did feel a little cowboyish with the bandanna.

Suited back up to go grab some dinner under a Gus Miller custom.

Janyška "Parga" possibly late 1930s early 1940s. I really like the shade of blue. The felt has a Chamois like finish and is very pliable. This hat also has a narrow sweatband.

This week I will highlight Janyška & Cie. from Czechoslovakia. Janyška & Cie. was started in the 1920s in Valašské Meziříčí – Krásno about 25 km from Nový Jičín (location of JHS, BB, AP). Janyška & Cie. was a Czech company based on Austrian hat tradition. Janyška & Cie. became Tonak Factory 2 post WWII and the factory was closed 1961.

I've been trying to pick some hats that don't get much head time lately for my daily masked Corona crawl down the coastal path, Ke Ala Hele Makålae, but the days are starting to run together and I think this 60s Playboy has been out for a walk recently. However, I did break out one of the wonderful masks that I received today from West Virginia and the daughter of @AbbaDatDeHat. I'm stylin! Thank you to my friends in West Virginia!
My thanks also to the Hawai'i National Guard I met today on my walk, for their help in encouraging everyone to stay safe and follow our Stay at Home Order, and social distance while exercising.

Took the new to me Resistol out for a spin today - a walk around the neighborhood with my wife.
Just for fun, when we got home I tried it with my poncho. I can't remember where the poncho is from - somewhere in South America - maybe Peru. I got it back home in New Zealand about 20 years ago. I used to wear it quite a bit, but not for a long time now. I figured it might work with this hat, though.

Your Gus Miller looked so nice I had to Google the hatter and watch a YouTube video about him.
Wow. Very cool, Jim.
Love the colors on that one.

Thank you, Randall. It's a facsimile of the Knox 100 now in Max's hands...er, vault. Mr. Miller's quite the character. Might be the oldest hatter in the US right now.
