What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[BobHufford]

The unknown Strat clone with an easy dry crease, no steam.

That cleaned up pretty good! Do you still plan on a naphtha bath? I like the contrast of the ribbon.

This tried and true 1900s Stetson no.1

A dream hat for me right there!

I love this one, David. I actually printed out a color copy of it for my trip to Ecuador to show weavers examples of what I like. It's one of my absolute favorites from the entire FL website. If for some insane reason you ever decide to sell it, then send me a message!

Thanks Fed (and to everyone who liked or commented) - this is a hat I feel so lucky to own.

I can't tell you how many times I asked Art if he had a semi body just kicking around - the answer was always NO. Then one time he said yes!

This is one of my best hats for sure: perfection in straw as far as I'm concerned.

Having said that, Art just happens to be working on an interesting little project with me...


Cheers! David

Thanks Bob! I think I'll probably just set a crease in it & let it be. I would say the real color is close to Pecan.

Hey all!
This Dobbs "Sunbrero" with a Western flair was made right around 1960, give or take a year. At 65g, the unknown straw type rivals my Parabuntal in weight, with an open weave perfect for this warm summer day.

Have a great day!

Well, my dermatologist would approve! It sure does give a lot of shade from those nasty UV rays!

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the photo. I like it.

I love the color of this hat! It really pops!! Sounds like a great deal from your Haberdashery!

It is a modern Dobbs, probably 90s(?). Poly straw so it is kind of hot, but the color works for me.

Lol. Yes. I do.

Today I reached for the boater shelf and selected a fine plaited straw from Knox. But I couldn't help swapping head time for a new arrival from Australia.

Yes, it is a Yeddo straw... not sure the connection with Japan, this was probably sourced from Italy or Switzerland.

I thought the Yeddo straw was a Japanese thing from the early century. I'll spend some quality time on the Boater Faction thread to refresh my aged memory.

Just cleared out the cobwebs and found the Japanese weave from the teens and twenties is called "sinnet" (Yeddo sounded Japanese, Sinnet more European) I don't care Alan, your boaters are exquisite!

Is that a Chupacabra in the background?

Ja ja ja !!! Looks like it !!! One of my just shaved Giant Schnauzers, we were talking a couple of days ago that, when shaved, they look like dogs from the movie Resident Evil
