What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[FedOregon]

Little black Aristocrat from Stetson sold at Kleinhans in Buffalo. Note the wind trolley button sewn through the bow, an alternate construction seen in the late 1930s - early 1940s.

Super nice Stetson, Alan, with an interesting touch on the wind trolley. I've never seen something that until now.

Feeling a bit stingy today in a Mallory Eagle.

You look great, Bob!

View media item 1272View media item 1271Got my new Penman Green Fedora from Penman Hats in Hillsboro, OR. I was in the que for this hat for 6 months.... but it is a real Keeper. John Penman is a great guy and will talk "hat's" with you as long as you want. We got the full tour. I am lucky to have two Hat makers within driving distance (Art Fawcett being the other.... although thats more like an overnighter drive)

Howdy from McMinnville! Love your hat! is that a moss "The Penman?" I can't see if you have the 6-point diamond on top...

We've also got Michael Gannon in Portland, Mike Miller of NW Hats in Eugene and more up in Washington. We are blessed with great hatters in Oregon.

While I sported the M&K Custom, my grandson rocked his Nottingham. I had been saving this lid since he was a kid, (infant, actually) but I waited too long, and he's outgrown it!! He still looks terrific and even in the mean streets of NYC, he got smiles and reactions from the normally jaded populous of the UWS.

Check out the size tag!
Edit: He's just turned two years of age. I bought another hat, too when I bought the Nottingham... a 6-5/8 Tyrolean style. I'd best hurry.

Man, that's some great stuff and super pics of the little guy! Just wonderful, Charlie!

New guy here, long time lurker. Wearing my modified modern Stetson wool "Whippet," my knockaround hat. Wanted to demo it for an inquiry here in the Lounge. Prefer vintage, and its got very little in common with an original Whippet, besides its name, but once its been trimmed and re-bashed, this cheapie is a pretty nice hat, and one I can wear without a care. -Dave

Thanks Doug!

For Bob and Jack...

Stingy brim and beard.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

How cool is that? Excellent, Steve!

 

[mayserwegener]

Thanks! By the way it weighs 7.5 ounces so not a light weight.

Yesterday I had the Indy vibes with my Adventurebilt CS and Raiders jacket

Tres bien!

Nice work Moe. I like that pug, it has such a nice color and shiny look.

Thanks Fed!
I can't take credit for the pug, it came off a thrift store hat.

Tres bien!

Merci [emoji4]

Super cute!
If the little guy is anything like Grampa, he'll be in a 7 1/2 by his 3rd birthday...

See Moe? If I can smile so can you!

LOL!
I've tried smiling for selfies, I alway seems to come across looking like a serial killer, or maybe an exotic bird dealer. Doesn't quite work for me.

 

[moehawk]

Nice, moe. That's a substantial boater.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks Fruno!
It does have some substance to it, especially after that Parabuntal.

Darn. I was hoping it would pop out a Batman cape or something wicked cool like that. Still a beautiful hat, just not quite as awesome as the sweatband stamps would imply!

A two hat day because a thrift coughed up this hairball.

Porkpie mode. Now where did I leave my raccoon coat?

Original price was $3.95. I thought maybe I could date it a bit by looking up the store that sold it. Turns out it opened in 1903 and is still in business under the same name in the same small Iowa town.
