What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

Agreed Jack. When I put on a Gannon (in the style I have named Wanderer) it has just the right stuff. The Gannon hats always look right.


VoodooSan I look and am amazed at the variety, hues and quality of vintage hats I am fortunate to have at home. I think the *****le comes into my eye when I am making a selection of hat to wear. I have the good fortune to follow a whim. Whim's are frequent for me. The unasked question - how come you wear so many hats? I wear my hats in chores, efforts, and daily use. I would wear a hat out if I wore it for long periods. In order to more gently wear my hats I change them out frequently.

Good fortune, indeed, Eric. And I hope you're not apologizing for your whims. We here are greatly benefitted by them.

Keeping with the winter theme two hats. One is custom made and the last is the Akubra Hampton just arrived which is my first Trilby style hat.

 

[VoodooSan]

Early 50s Stetson with a 3" bound brim, 5.75" crown, and a 6-cord band. Hatband's not marked, but the particulars perfectly match The Pecos, so that what I personally think of it as.

That one is a winner for sure, looks great Mark!

Today's lid is my newest addition, a Black Grizzly " Boss of the Plains" that I commissioned Robert Gault of Wolfbrae Custom Hatters to make for me. I truly enjoyed the experience of working with Robert to get the hat I was after. Every detail, including the charcoal grossgrain ribbon hatband, the stripe of silver in the bow keeper, the fringe on the tail ends of the bow, the burgundy sweatband and last but not least the Japanese silk liner with embroidered liner tip all add up to an outstanding hat that I am proud to have in my collection. Hope y'all have a good 'un !

One of my all time favorite comfortable hats... A 3x Quality Open Road.

A fine Dutch brew you seem to have there, as well. Isn't there a forum for Hats and Drinks around here somewhere?
