What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Bamaboots]

Wearing my 1989 Kevin O'Farrell today.

That's become my favorite of yours, HJ. That band is perfect for that hat.

My father just emailed me this.
It really does suit her I think.
She stole one of my hats on a family weekend and wanted one just like it.
She normally wears round colorful hats with frilly ribbons but I dig it on her.

 

[Michael R.]

I did. Don't know how people can keep a long stache.
Buy one

It can drive you crazy ! I had one , then trimmed it , growing it back . Now I remember why I trimmed it . Buy Moustache Wax , and glue it out of your mouth .

Hey all!
I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend (where applicable)!
For me, a 3X on this fine MemORial Day Sunday.

Compared to before the recent cleaning, this thing almost glows!
Have a great day!

Looks Great MOE ! I need a vintage MemORial Day Hat . I wore mine after Church to eat and to visit my Dad , but modern . I like it , but vintage would be so much better . Remember those who gave there lives serving for others this MemORial Day , so evil would be stopped . No greater love than to lay down ones life for a friend . Many many have . One did for All .

I don't think that would work with me.
I would eat the wax out.

Thanks! I forget exactly what the color is, but Mike Moore and Rocky at Buckaroo Hatters made it for me a few years ago while I was down south.

Very nice day here today. Unfortunately I have a summer cold. That didn't deter me from taking my attempt at a turn of the century baseball cap out for a bicycle ride.

Buckaroo Hatters is 30 minutes from me ! I've gone by several times , but just saw the sign saying :Open Saturday (Hours) , and Sunday (Hours) . I'll get there some weekend . Mike & Rocky did a super Job ! What felt body did you use ? Bunny , Bunny/Beaver 50/50 , or 100% Beaver ? Beautiful Hat though !

 

[Wesslyn]

I'm still wearing felt, despite the 85+ degree weather. Hopkins today...

Good Info ! Thanks Bob , Details are Best ! ... hey I just checked , my CD crown bashed is 5" , and it's deep . It must be 6" Open . Do you know ? I don't think it says that . But I like it .

Thanks! I was going to wear it yesterday for SatORday, but it was just too dang hot for felt. Do get yourself an OR if you have the opportunity, it is just such a classic lid and versatile for any city/country attire. Mine is a late 60's model, I'd like an older one someday but this one is just fine for now!

Oh Yeah , I have a Modern 6X OR , but I tried playing with it , making the oval more long , and it Tacoed on me . Sides turned up . Its Okay , but I may be out of my league . I think I'll have to take it down flat to get the Taco Out , then no flange at all . Not Good . It looks like an Ranger more , now , to me , just a shorter brim . I loosened up the center crease , and raised it , too . I may need to search the Bay , but some of those sellers are CRAZY ! Blocks and Brim Flange things , WOW ! $$$ I saw a Great Hat Stretcher like Buler has , it was Really Crazy High , but you get what you pay for Usually , if you study . I know you have Equipment .

 

[moehawk]

The only piece of equipment I have that's not homemade or improvised is a flange I found on the 'Bay for cheap. Everything else is non-standard. Most of my wider brims are shaped by putting them in a big shallow wooden bowl I found at a thrift store and moistening the felt, then weighing it down with socks filled with rice until it dries into the shape. Microwaving the socks till the rice is warm can help with a stubborn brim. I just try to go into any project not fearing failure but ready to learn all I can from it if it happens.
It also helps to have a few cheap thrift store hats around that you care little about to try stuff out on before attempting it on a good one.
