What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Lost Cowboy]

Time to get the Montecristis out for a shpatzir while the temperatures are moderate. These hats are heavy for straw and dense. An early location of Brodt's is shown below on a day when Babe Ruth stopped in for a visit.

Wow, so many low-crowned hats in the photo from a period I usually associate with much higher crowns. And that side-to-side taper in the left part of the photo - holy cow!

Last week I was waiting for it (see that thread), today I am wearing it. 4X Beaver OR clone from Worth-Walden of Dallas, TX. It is a beautiful, wonderfully soft felt, not a style I usually wear, but this one is a keeper for sure.

That the hat is amazing, truly needs no comment, however, I'd always heard it as "shpratzir".

Hmmm. I think only if you're a shprat? ;^)

Always fun to explore a crowd scene in the early 20th century. Many hats are showing deep side dents which creates that tapering profile when viewed from the front. The telescoped crowns are interesting too. By the time this hat was sold (estimated 1950s) the store had moved to a nearby storefront. The facades of these buildings were preserved and remain visible today.

A VS Wanderer (silverbelly light beaver felt) was my hat choice for this mornings dog soirée. The Wanderer is a fedora inspired by the Stetson Wanderer.

Home and sipping coffee under the brim of a VS Wanderer (granite beaver felt). This hat was commissioned in prep for the 2012 Olympics. The vent holes, removable liner and a "special twist" on the right side of the hat. The twist is a nod to gymnastics. It garnered lots of compliments during my London shenanigans.

Cheers, Eric -

Really nice, Tim. Looks like an older one with the scale logo. Not sure the timeline on these, but the variants I’ve seen on the scale logo are, feather, two packs of cigarettes, and mix with one on the sweat and the other on the crown tip. Then what I call the Four Seasons logo follows later.

Thanks for the information Joe. Here's a better photo of the scale logo on mine
