What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

Very nice, Mark! Does it have a “youthful smartness” liner?

Thanks, Bill! Sadly, it does not:

 

[RickP]

Definitely more "snap" than the ribbon, Rick. I like it!

I love horsehair, and really love the tassel!

 

[Blare]

Very cool, Joe. Looks like you enjoyed that. The hat and crease! match the occasion!

Thank you Stefan.

Time to roll out my new Homburg that turned up open crown, so I figured how hard can it be and styled it. It is a black Akubra.

Thanks for encouragement. Gradually learning how to mould a hat.

Thank you sir. I usually start with a hat and work my way down

Words to live by. My wife will see me looking at my closet and say…. You’re thinking about what shirt will go with whatever hat you’re planning on wearing aren’t you?

This is the way.

Sunny, humid and warm this morning. Feels like a Champ Featherweight day. Weather forecast says we might hit 100 f Monday afternoon.... next week may be an all straw or hemp week.

It's Whippet Wednesday down here at Rock Bottom. Something about these old hats that draws me in like a moth to a flame.

For the third day of Stingypendence Week I’m wearing a 1960s Churchill Italian Milan from Neiman Marcus. You all CAN play along at home you know — I can’t be the only one with stingy summer hats.

Thanks guys.. it was a great time.. I’m so happy the fine folks that run this event do so to recognize guys and gals who may or may not have had much exposure on the national scene but sure as heck did regionally in the south east, through FlorIda and the Caribbean.

I wrestled and later “managed” as Blare Rogers. Originally in a tag team The Rogers Brothers…. Bobby and Blare… Grandsons of Nature Boy Buddy Rogers and the later on my own mostly in Florida and the Caribbean (Bahamas, Haiti, Turks and Caicos, ect). Buddy, the original Nature Boy (long before Ric Flair) was an absolute true wrestling legend in the 40s, 50s and 60s… former NWA world champion.. Today is actually the anniversary of him winning that title at Comisky Park in Chicago in front of nearly 40,000 fans. He was the guy that what is now known as WWE was created around. He was their very first champion. I do not have actual relation to Buddy, however he was a mentor for me, part my original training and bringing me in to work as his grandson. He passed back in 1992

Today I maintain the Buddy Rogers tribute website and Facebook page to keep his legacy alive. buddyrogers.net

Very very fun bio Joe! That must have been some fun wrestling in the Caribbean in the 80s. How in the world did you ever get domesticated after that party? Was it meeting the right woman, or was it an overwhelming love for felt hats?

 

[The Lost Cowboy]

I've been getting some wear out of the JBS 7XCP (clear polyester).

I did remove the polyester liner so it's a pretty cool summer beater now.

Still has a polyesters ribbon and stitching... but the felt itself is actually nice and soft (probably rabbit? Dunno...)

I like this hat.
