What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Summer is still here in Denmark, but you can feel autumn knocking at the door.

My Hornskov Serene straw was today's choice, while the weather was still right for it.

Only a high of 66 here today. Going with a Mac Lachlan.

I just got two vintage hats in today from the same owner and originally purchased from the same hat shop (Kaufmann's in Pittsburgh, PA). I would need to size them down significantly before I can wear them as they are listed as 62cm (7 3/4) and I am between 57-58cm (7 1/8 - 7 1/4). First, up, is this Cavanagh with Cavanagh Edge.

Next, is this Knox Twenty with Custom Edge.

The Resistol looks even better with the arrow pin Joe, love it.
Do you remember a lady from Belgium name of Esther Weis? She made me a hat very similar to Stetson's Stratoliner, she dubbed it: Strat-a-like. She made this one for me.

In the meantime my wife, Tina, had come across some fabric depicting old MG cars, from which she made me a classic MG shirt. One of the most interesting features of that shirt are the buttons. She made them out of lapel pins and, just in case I lost one, she bought a spare. When she saw the Strat-a-like she made use of that spare pin.

It gets many a comment at classic car meetings. Did you want to see the shirt that inspired the hat pin?

That just about 17 different kinds of kewl, Robert!

Today heading out under another of last years Western to Town hat conversions. The heavier felt of the westerns makes for a good warm cool weather hat. A bit rigid, but you never have floppy brims or wavy parts lol. I personally like working with the taller western crowns as they just look better with some height that do so many of the modern hats with rather short crowns

This one one started life as a 4x Stetson western. Little bit of cleaning, trimming, and styling and it became a country gentleman

Another terrific conversion, Rick!

Knox Twenty OPS era (there's an OPS tag somewhere).

First day back in the Lost Worlds goatskin A-2. Perfect weather for it.

Fantastic combo, Nathan!

Thank you Robert. I’ve thought this novelty arrow tie clip would work well as a hat decoration. However have to pair it with just the right hat as you really need a wide enough bow keep to fill the gap in the prongs of this one. I have two others to try out as well. Those are both swords.

Your MG pin on your Strat-a-like suits you quite well! Especially with that shirt!

Kind of you to say so Joe, thank you.

Seventeen Mark? Did you count all the cars on the shirt? It takes all morning to get the MG scrubbed up.
Here the car is with the lady who made that shirt. How my lady's hat looks the part.

The old boater today!

The temperature finally cooled down more or less enough for me to be able to take my new Hornskov Diamond on an evening stroll.

Great line-up as usual, Stefan. I just did my first "Fedora Friday" YouTube episode on the hats of The Godfather (1972) movie and that Hückel Homburg is an offering I can't refuse.

Would be a long series of the same hat!

Thank you, Luke. Homburgs can be commanding for sure.

"Next week no hats of the week; I'm off to Madeira in a few days."

No hats next week? Do you realise all the withdrawal symptoms that will cause?
Two hats, one for this week and one for next. The Barbisio & The Dobbs.
Enjoy the Island of Madeira Stefan, and wear your straw hat, the sunshine gets very strong in that part of the world.

Taking out an Adam Hats thing this morning. It cleaned up nicely from its previous life and got a new lambskin sweatband

1990’s Ritch Rand 8X Tom Horn deluxe. I ordered this hat as a Conagher but didn’t like how it looked on me. So this is how it ended up.
