What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[RickP]

Busy morning....Headed 50 miles over to Lufkin to look at new truck tires this morning. Also picked up a new framing nailer so I can finally get the back patio roof repaired. Most importantly I finalized a horsetrade at the archery shop for a big new 36x36 bow target for the yard. Seemed like a good old hat day. This ones an older Moose River ... think Ive had it since the 80s. It was well worn and floppy so I added the brim binding so it holds its shape better.

I have recently been on a Stetson kick and acquired 1 Stetson Temple in black and 1 x Stetson Pinnacle in Caribou. All in 7-3/4

Another day- another Moose River...Felts mostly decent on this one, but had to replace the rotted sweatband. Also salvaged the band and liner off another donor hat. Basically took three hats to make one lol . At least it looks complete again

I should clarify… the photos were taken by my wife lol - although I suppose since she doesn’t give me a hard time about my hats she gets partial credit for that too.

R. & M. Wegener "Start" possibly early 1930s. The Felt is a fantastic mélange with a fine Rauh finish + soft hand. It has a hidden stitched over welt curled Brim (popular in the time period) with Back Bow. I found this Soft Felt back in 2020.

A rare gem, Steve. Style, felt, finish: it's all there!

Back to Felt with a 50's Royal Stetson.

A week of repeats this Sunday. With blazing temperatures during the week (it's supposed to be the cool north here!) straw was the only option.

My coffee hat of the day is one of my old favorites. An older Houston Tx American Hat Co 4x felt ( late 70s/ early 80s?). Fairly light for a western so its fine for the morning warmth

I love this thing. How tall is the crown? Nice bow as well.

 

[RickP]

its 5-1/2"crown as it sits. Prob a full 6" when popped out to open crown. Ive always been a fan of the wider Campaign ribbon bow. This 7/8" ribbons about a 1/4" wider than the original ribbon... I like the wider look

With the heatwave in our part of the world, Stefan, straw was the only choice.

Some nice ones there. I especially love all the ribbons. They really set each hat off.

I even didn't wear straw these days. I didn't leave the house!!

This is one of two hats I just got from @Bill Hughes , but since I wore it today I will post it here.

This is a Milan made by Peters Bros. in TX. I immediately loved this thing. The rich brown adds some variety to my summer lineup, and I love the ribbon that Bill added to this one.

Bill is a smidge smaller than me size-wise, so this was also an experiment. Straight out of the box I could get it onto the top of my head, but not down where it belongs.

I put a four-way hat jack in it, hit it with a little steam, stretched it a bit and now it fits perfectly. I can't see any distortion in the brim or crown, which I had been worried about.

By the way, in case I'm the last person on earth to figure this out, the two-way hat jacks are hot garbage. The four-ways are more expensive, and worth twice what you pay. My opinion, worth what you paid for it.

At any rate, here we go - thanks Bill.

This is from unboxing day - best angle for the hat and best color - love Bill's ribbon choice

I think I figured out my lighting problem - I like blue light indoors - if I pull these lights and replace them with warmer bulbs, I should be able to get better color going forward - project for another day

I might have created a little space in the sweatband when I stretched the hat a bit - if so, I hate to see it, but it was a learning experience. I will be more patient next time.

At 55 grams, my lightest hat. A Dunhill straw made in Italy. Seems old.

Yep that’s a cool one. I love that golden color, and that is a funky ribbon!

A handsome trio, indeed! No need to apologize, Stefan; sometimes practicality dictates fashion. The Penumbra as #1, the Mossant as #2, and the Dunlap as #3. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice, Rick. LOVE the campaign-style bow.
