What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[jeffgarf]

For today down here in FL, I am wearing a mystery hat posted about in the Cosmopolitan Hat Company forum. I acquired and refurbished this Genuine Milan Hemp hat from the company. It was misshapen and the hatband was torn and ragged, but it's now it is a fun wear on a sunny day. Less attention grabbing than a Turquoise Inwood, that's for sure.

Anyone have any information on this company? It's my second hat from them. The only mention I can find of this manufacturer is via the museum of African American history in a costume exhibit for Cab Calloway. I keep digging though.

Stetson "The Motor"... the era of the posted advertisement (1934) is likely close.

I like that. 2" brim? Looks great.

2" is correct.

Hat or cap? New Akubra Stylemaster turned up adding to the family. So cap or hat is the question.

Personally, I'd go with the cap; the color match is too perfect to ignore.

Hi VoodoSan

Yes the cap is the same fabric. Such is world trade one fabric roll made it to Turkey for the jacket then brought direct to Australia and the other stayed in Scotland to be made into a cap that was then shipped to a local store in Tassie. Given the limited runs of Harris Tweed and the claimed cottage industry status it was like wining the lottery.

I’ve given up trying to choose. All winners.

Thanks, Gary. Lucky you don't need to. Imagine how hard it is for to pick one each day

Earlier this week on Monday, The Lost Cowboy posted this hat for sale & I scooped it up within minutes of him posting the ad in the classifieds here at TFL. Nathan isn't one to fool around and had it shipped the same afternoon. Yesterday the USPS delivered the package & I was pleasantly surprised to find a bonus hat was included...a nice Mallory that is a story for another day.
I couldn't be more pleased with the new additions, especially this Dobbs *** Prince in a lovely shade of brown. Thanks again Nathan.
* as we all know this site has had problems lately. I am able to post on the site but replying to a message was not working yesterday nor this morning. Small price to pay & I'm sure it will be resolved soon.

Oh what the heck - they’re both great, so just take them both with you and change them back and forth throughout the day. That’s what I would do.
