What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Stefan, Thanks again!

 

Blue Kensington fedora this morning. Glorious 30's dimensions on this hat with the side seam features.







Cheers, Eric -

 

Stetson Longhorn Jr.

 

Thanks Dave. It's a fun one.

Went in a different direction today with this Ultrabasque Czechoslavkia made beret

Knox Tom ‘n’ Jerry,

 

I really like that beret Michael. I've been looking at berets recently.

 

Thanks Rick. It's very comfortable to wear and seems high quality.

Looks good. I have two or three of the military types. And an official Boy Scouts model and maybe a couple of others. I need to get them out more often.

I found a cool little patch to replace the original. Something a little quirky
*I mean no disrespect to the military*

 

That’s a cool look for you Rick

Thanks, Randall.

Funny, I saw it as semi-light. I must be getting soft in my old age, I'm usually a glass half full kind of guy

 

Interesting. I've never seen one like that before, with the side seam feature.

 

Now that's a thin ribbon! Very nice.

 

What hat is that? It's a nice one and I definitely like the 6 ply ribbon on it.

 

That Homburg definitely suits you. The outfit, the hat, it all goes together very well.

 

Carlson homburg today, but it’s going to have to change to a heavier hat, probably a bowler, because the strong winds already nearly blew it off my head once.

 

After months of sitting, I finally finished this conversion project. All I lacked was sewing on the brim binding and I finally got it done. This hat was originally a size 7 '50s era 3X Stetson Western with the Last Drop embroidered liner that I was able to reuse. Aside from showing its age a little the felt was solid and definitely worth saving. I have more in the Conversion Corral...



Before:




Hand sewing a brim binding can be a real pain in the a$$ and it does a number on my back after having to sit too long.


After: notice the fading on the hat. It has a nice 'well worn' look with plenty of character but with a nice crisp profile.

Back in the hat with the original sweat bow also reused

 

Super job man. Looks great.
