What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[jeffgarf]

The Campdraft really WAS a good choice today.... Someone who shall remain nameless decided to enlarge his mud feature out in the yard this morning...lol. ( It took 2 cu ft of dirt to refill it in)..Its wintertime so I dont have a waterhose hooked up..... I was out on my knees in the rain with a big tub full of warm water scrubbing Mr Bear back to a dingy white state. Hat survived just fine. Oh the joy of Labrador puppies

Got to love the green ones! Here is my choice for this VERY cold (zero this morning) December day, Puerto Fino. This one is VERY soft and has a 3" brim to boot! Color is a bit darker than it photographs.

The last couple of days spent under a Stetson OR 3X. The color runs from charcoal to slate blue depending on the light.

Too dark to be Caribou?

Yes, I like their hats, really nice soft finish. I have a few and this particular one is my favorite. The only hats with a similar soft finish I have are a couple of Worth & Worth ones, and I believe their felt also come from South America.

Worth and Worth also carried hats, I believe, from the Colombian factory that produced and owned the Puerto Fino brand. That same factory produced hats for Bencraft (@steur's stores) and under the Barbisio name for sale in the US. The owners lived in Miami and owned Hats and Hats in North Miami Beach. I don't know the current status of the factory (opened, closed, new ownership?), but the wife of the couple uses the name Puerto Fino for her own handmade creations and told me awhile ago that she was opening stores in Atlanta. Who knows?

It's never a bad day for a 3XME, even if only for a routine doctor visit.

Later on in the day, Etsuko voted for the Mogul…

But I ended up going for the higher crown of the Emissary.

As for Etsuko, she opted for a Toucan hat.

I think so. I have no idea what Stetson might have called the color. The color may have only been available for a couple of yrs. If there was such a thing as a centennial hat they certainly weren’t marked. And they could have used the boxes for a few yrs before & after 1965. So I don’t know it’s anything special. Just a nice OR.

Day 2 of the Federation IV into work. Some wet-fitting and a little warmth to soften and fit my head better, it’s feeling less like a helmet and more comfortable overall. And given that today it’s -2 *C out, the added warmth of thick felt is noticeable.

Somewhat self conscious but also can’t help but like it, especially since the dimensional brim gives good protection without looking overly wide, so while I’m open to others opinions I’m thinking that it’s actually a fairly proportional fit.

Thanks brother. The Dobbs Fifteen is on a truck heading to Atlanta from Florida. That's all I know right now, but you can bet I am tracking that thing 4 or 5 times a day!

(Edit: tracking just updated: it's in Murfreesboro, TN. It's coming FedEx so maybe Saturday delivery? I don't dare to hope for tomorrow... )

It looks really great on you. Very good proportions. Congrats on a great hat!

VERY clean beauty, Nathan!!

Thanks Voo!
