What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Going out with family to celebrate my big 5-0, I went with this Royal Deluxe Stetson 3-ply.

This is one of my favorite blocks on any hat and it fits me perfectly as is - which is unfortunately sans sweatband. I only wear this on very special occasions.

Question to the hat wearing brains trust. I am looking at getting a custom hat made in the homburg style like Anthony Eden. Been offered a medium weight dark brown called coffee bean felt 100% beaver. This means high crown and generous brim sloping sides rather than straight to suit my 6’3” frame and 62cm head.

Believe it or not looking to stick very much with traditional formal wear for this hat so ribbon choices? I assume edged brim is a given.

What suits colours would go with this? Suits I have tend to be dark blues, charcoal, Grey and black. Any comments from our resident suit donning clothes pegs?

Medium weight ok?

Cheers.

A Biltmore Straw for today's sunshine. Do you recognise the tie? Tina made it from an Aloha shirt offcut.

Going to be another hot, sunny, muggy day here in deep East Texas (already 80 degrees and 90% humidity at 7:30am) Time for another western to start the morning. This one a nice 4x American Hat Company hat from the old days when they were in Houston. Will probably move into a straw or hemp later as things heat up, but well start off in a nice felt

Perhaps ask a bartender to move your question to the

Ask a Question, Get an Answer thread...

I personally would forgo brown for a darker gray if I wanted a more formal look with your color palette

Cool hat and an early welcome to the 50+ club.

Some of my favourite hats on the Lounge are from Northwest Hats. That’s another beauty!
Welcome to the half-century club (here in Japan, we’d call you a hanseikichan). Have a great day tomorrow.

Happy 50th Birthday, Nathan.

Looking good as always!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy BD

HAPPY birthday Nathan!

Happy birthday to you and have a nice day!

Thank you all!

Long time to be absent. Apologies!!
For the start of the season I chose this Cavanagh Milan from (guessing) circa 1960.

I loves me my Milans.

Love it!

Good Saturday folks. Yesterday I was able to sport an unlined felt for a dog soirée. A Stetson ******* was my choice.

Back home in the late day light enjoying a walkabout in a 50-60's Stetson Milan. I enjoy gazing at the weave of the milan warm weather hats. This relatively newer hat was a terrifically durable sweat. Not to mention a very styl'n puggaree. I like the milans in the 80'f heat.

I got started Saturday nearly at 6:00am in the 79'f heat. Warm. A Stetson panama was my hat choice for an early morning start. My dog soirée was pleasant under the airy panama hat.

I took time this morning to appreciate the beauty of the weave of the panama fedora.

I enjoyed some cold brew under the brim of an Ecuadorian Panama Hat company milan. This is the most special milan I have at my house. Dynamite quality.

I waited til the polite 9:00am time to cut the lawn. A Sunbody was my choice for a hot weather work hat. I watered it before and during my lawn chores. My head felt cool while I was hot.

I cleaned up and treated myself to an adult beverage after my outside chores. A PHD Monti was an enjoyable straw hat choice. I enjoy wearing this light hat and seeing the spectacular weave. We have seen the videos of the weavers working the hat blanks and appreciate the craftsmanship and effort. I am very fortunate to wear such a piece of craftsmanship.

As with all non-commissioned hats there are details that I would like to change. On the whole - dynamite.


Cheers this Saturday, Eric -

The latest project is all done and the Stetson is heading out for its first trip in public this morning. This one came together nicely... Wish they all went as smooth as this one did. Basically, except for making up a new sweatband, the rest was just a good cleaning

Very nice, Rick, and an extremely handsome hatband.
