What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Neophyte]

I know what you mean, I kinda wish I had invested in a straw hat sometime during the summer lol.

 

[Torpedo]

Today, a Stetson "Twenty" with a 20s-30s style crease. This style looks really well in side angles, and progressively worse (in my opinion) as you move to the frontal shots.

Regards!

Thing is, WE know better, but most people simply have no knowledge of hats. I was showing my mail carrier the first Campdraft he delivered that was nearly damaged in transit, upon seeing the open crown, he thought it was a derby. I then explained to his fascination that I hand shape hats to my liking. This is the same bloke who told me I'm rocking the Indiana Jones look while wearing a green hat. hehe

I know what you mean. It seems that people that are not into hats categorize them into 3-4 pigeon holes: It's either an Indiana Jones hat, a gangster (or hip-hop) hat, a ball cap, or a cowboy hat. To them there is nothing in between.

I think that one has more style on you than the one in your icon.

Thanks! Stetson calls it sage. My eye doesn't pick up a green tone, but the camera sure does. I see a dark chocolate brown.

I agree, thanks. As much as I've tried, I can't quite connect with the Angler. Too much taper or something.(?)

Borsalino Cap

Not sure if this is older or not. Leather sweatband and no fabric content tag. Also new to me.

 

[bolthead]

Nice Borso Robert, you've inspired me.

 

[rlk]

Very Nice!. Borsalino did(and still does) make a fine variety of caps, as long as you don't pay the standard retail prices.

 

[zetwal]

Nice caps gents.

I have yet to find a cap I really like in my size. One of these days ...

Today's hat is a late Byer-Rolnick period Resistol OR clone, silver belly. I think I need to reduce the crown a bit, it's a mite too high even by my standard:

Oh brown Stetson Sovereign, how I love thee!
