What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

Idaho's changeable spring temps necessitated a change of clothes mid-day, so the hats got changed as well.

Started off with my 80s 3X Open Road, and finished the day with a Resistol Asphalt straw.

Ive worn a couple westerns and curled brims this week.... lets end the week on the same theme. This is one of my favorites ...a Stetson Giant 4x in silverbelly. Since i dont spend a lot of time outside on a horse or out to mending fences, Im particularly fond of somewhat trimmer brim westerns. Ive been contemplating a bit of work on the crown to reshape it into a Gus crease.

I like the way you’ve shaped this open road it almost makes me think of a sort of wandering gold prospector

THAT is a stunner, Marcel!!!!!

Thank you guys!

It's a gray 41 degree afternoon down here @ Rock Bottom so it only seems fitting to be wearing this Gray Royal Stetson Open Road. The felt on this one is thin and soft and molds easily without steam. The mail lady just dropped this one off minutes ago and all I did was give it a good brushing and creased it like I like 'em ! TGIF Y'all !!

I have been interested in Thomas Farthing hats for a while. But have had a tough time finding any reviews How do you find the quality of the felt? Is the hat true to size?
Cheers!

Slightly on the small end. As for felt quality its ok, I don't know enough to judge. I have 2 hats my favourite is the Reuben High Crown which is soft and very comfortable. My other is a Barstow fedora, but the brim is very stiff and I don't like it, the crown is soft though, but it's probably my least favourite hat and is snug for a 63cm.

Wonderful restoration. As mucked up as it was… you could definitely see the “good bones”

Thank you Blare! Yessir. It was definitely worth saving and the felt and everything original to the hat is solid. I actually have the block for it. My one complaint with the hat is the 2 1/2 brim width. I'm debating whether or not to find it a new owner only for that reason. If the brim was 2 5/8 I wouldn't even consider letting it go.

I like that Resistol straw. I'd like to get hold of one like that.

This morning I'm going with this Stetson Beaver Twenty Five with Vita Felt process. View attachment 695803 View attachment 695804 View attachment 695805 View attachment 695806 View attachment 695807 View attachment 695808

Very nice Timmy! That is only the second twenty-five I’ve seen that is tagged with “Beaver” — they seem to be fairly rare.

A Dunlap Twenty w/replaced ribbon(my second replacement attempt )

A shameless brag from a proud Papa. 27 lb.s. 1 3/8” spurs. 11 1/8” beard Everly Mae is a fourth grader and she also got one two years ago…

No shame when it’s real, Vic. Congratulations to Everly Mae!

Good job on the ribbon, too.

Thanks for the information Bill. This is the first one I've seen and I felt dang lucky it just happened to be my size.

It is a very exciting weekend. Last year, I wrote a short libretto for my nephew who is studying musical composition at a university in Ohio. He composed an opera from my text and tonight it will be performed by faculty at the university. We are on our way to the performance now.

It will be a big weekend - the lad's rock band will perform tomorrow night and then on Sunday he has a jazz guitar concert.

A weekend with my sister and her family to celebrate my favorite nephew!

I chose the Knox Twenty for the weekend. It travels easily and presents well both for older crowds and the university aged.

All the best to you for your weekends, friends.

This evening is a Cavanagh Homburg.

It be the weekend again. Time to break out the casual gear. The hat is an Akubra Cooper Pedy complete with Opal.
