What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Pellie]

I had a blast today meeting up with our very own Steve Heck (@mayserwegener) to share beer, pretzels, and some great hat conversation at a local biergarten. I opted to wear the same black 1930's Scott & Co Homburg I wore yesterday.

Cool. But where's the beer?

The beer and pretzels were already consumed at the time of this photo hence the huge smile on my face.

My bespoke Susquehana, maybe I should have had it made in darker brown to compliment my suit, but it's a great fitting hat and goes so well with much that's in my wardrobe.

Borsalino today!

Todays hat was once a proud Stetson 4x western... by the time it got to me the sweatband was crumbling, and was more than a little dirty. Felt got a good gas bath and new sweatband sew in. Did some felt smoothing and threw on a nice braided horsehair band. Little bit of brim flattening and crown work and Im happy with it

1900’s Stetson BRE with FRAY sweat, red sizing bow & silver foil embossment. I should have hit it with a brush before heading out for coffee.

I'm starting to reclaim my hat collection.

Bowlers in size 58 and 57 are on display, sitting atop historic black and brown Huckels, owned by Steve, a great collector of Central European hats.
It's about time; some work is still underway; furniture and furnishings.
The new studio apartment will be very beautiful.

I've also started to buy something I find interesting on the used market, sparingly.
Super Flechet. Size 60 cm, or 7 1/2 in the US.

"Pilote" quality and "Caniche" color, if I've interpreted the slightly faded writing on the paper label correctly.
"Caniche" is a breed of dog, and some have fur of this color, but I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

The felt is magnificent, soft, and finished with a light, fairly shiny fur. Beautifully finished and sold at Breitner in Munich - Germany.

Let's start like this, then we'll see what happens when I calmly reopen the hat boxes.
Congratulations to all of you who continue the daily hat parade. I've been a magnificent ****** without participating, but now something changes.

This weeks been the bi annual slew of Dr appts. Headed over to the cardilogist after coffee so I switched hats. This one a favorite Stetson/ Cabelas Three Forks. To my mind the dark olive green is such a sharp color. So far every Dr Ive seen this week has been thrilled with the lab results.....so I think Im getting ready to put on some shorts and go do another Ocho Tequila test out on the patio to celebrate. Probably going to fire up some good light english pipe tobacco and just chill for an hour or so.

Congratulations! It can be worrisome & nerve racking waiting on lab results.

My morning featured blue. Blue was the felt inspiration not the mood. My dog soirée was taken under a blue Stetson Flagship.

I enjoyed some cold brew under the brim of a blue JC Penny Marathon Air Command.

Cheers, Eric -

Im very fortunate to have an endocrinologist that actually owns the lab... I go do my labwork and an hour later I see the doc with the results

Some fine new acquisitions, Tim. I think that Sovereign will settle in quite nicely in Rock Bottom.

Woot!!!! That's a helluva way to get back at it, Timmy! Gorgeous!

Oh, MY, but she's lookin' purty!!! Good job, sir!!! And that Stetson ain't lookin' too shabby neither!

Thanks guys... I missed the " new old hat in the house " feeling !!

Here's my latest addition but feels like an old friend. Premier Stratoliner with unreeded sweatband in a beautiful shade of dark brown. These lightweight hats are indeed a pleasure to wear on cool autumn days !!

Looking splendid, Robert and good to see you got a bit of sunshine over there.

Fantastic looking hat, Jack. Sits nicely between a lords hat and a more western leaning style. Love it.

That is the perfect hat for a sunny autumn walk, Daniele. All furry goodness.

Better go for the rhapsody in blue rather that the blues, but that's debatable. Looking good, Rob!
