What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Crazy Dave]

For today this navy blue Stetson.

Beating you brim-wise in the early seventies, I believe I have earned the right to go "Nice stingy!" at you just this once.

Thanks for the kind words Scott, Perry, Greg, and g.d.

Joao, I love the crown on that navy Stetson.
Alan, great cap!!
g.d, lovely *******. I really like that color.
Jeff, I have never seen sick look so stylish!

Great to see such a varied selection of cool hats over the last twenty four hours.

Since it's a little cooler today, I'm starting my day with my Adventurebilt

Well I can't beat a straw sombrero but if this is a stingy, all fedoras are a fez.

Joao, I love the crown on that navy Stetson.

It's a kind of cattleman, the crown have a almost 6" high

Nice color!

Tomorrow I'll have something new. For today, it's my classic Stefeno Panama fedora.

Great start gents!
60s era OR today.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Still trying to break this wool.

 

[GregNYC]

Wow, Hatophile, I like that one - it has a clean look, goes well with your tie. Reminds me of the 60's when my grandfather used to wear a hat looking like it. Hmmm, I wonder. I think he was a Stetson man.

 

[hatophile]

Thanks, Greg. I am a big fan of ORs, have quite a few. I like your panama it has a nice shape to it.

Looks like that wool is breaking you, Joao!

Jeff, I have never seen sick look so stylish!

TRUTH!

Still catching up to yesterday's fantastic hats, (best display yet!) I started early with my trusty Churchill Milan...

Perry, Greg, Joao, Charlie, David, you guys are making Tuesday look great!!!
Portis today

 

[hatsRme]

Now there's a determined look! The Portis is perfect, Harv. Great ribbon!

 

[hatophile]

Charlie, loving the vacation mode you're in. Great shirt.

Harv, that's a sweet looking Portis you have on there.

 

[GregNYC]

Joao, that looks like a pretty wide brim! Mach, you are wearing the Portis well!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Looks like that wool is breaking you, Joao!

I'll break it first
At least I think I will...

Perry, Greg, Joao, Charlie, David, you guys are making Tuesday look great!!!
Portis today

Is that Portis a light pink or is it light grey?

Joao, that looks like a pretty wide brim!

4.75" brim, the largest the store seller had.
I asked the store seller how wide can it go and he will ask to the factory were they are made.

I was wandering around an antiques warehouse last weekend and saw this. There were two reasons I had to have it:
1 I didn't have a boater;
2 It fitted. Most vintage hats are far too small.
Also it's in great condition for a vintage hat.

But that hatband has got to go! What was the last owner thinking of? He must have been Scottish. But I'm finding it's a lot harder to get a band than to get a boater.



Ridgmont was an old Luton maker, I believe. Maybe the logo gives a clue to the age, I've no idea.

Nice boater, B. I rather like the plaid ribbon. You need a set of bagpipes to go with it.

Perry's right!! Sweet OR today, too...

 

[B1ggles]

To be honest - and this is another reason it's got to go - it isn't even a hatband, there's no bow, it's just a piece of ribbon someone's stitched to the hat.

I read that the traditional boater band is black, so I hope to find one online.
