What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Took out the Banjo (Paterson) to play yesterday morning

After a stormy, chilly, gloomy weekend... we got up to a bright sunny morning! The Akubra Lightning Ridge gets the coffee and dog duty this today

Beautiful morning calls for a Stetson One-hundred for my caffeine run.

The cold is back, not as fierce as a few weeks ago, but a few days of pale warmth have deceived us.

Today, a hat that is an enigma. Branded "Alexander Sport," it has the size and manufacturing tag written in English, but no specifications other than numbers.

Size 7 3/8 UK, a 60 in Europe, and a 7 1/2 in the US.
The felt is heather and slightly fuzzy with a green background and assorted pale colors.

The felt is very firm, but it scrunches easily. It comes from Southern Italy, specifically Sicily. Marketing mysteries.
Very beautiful and out of the ordinary.

Thanks again for your likes. Keep showing me hats; I'm always open to having fun.

A 70's (?) Resistol Hi Binder 3x beaver in mink color. I had to do a lot of reshaping to make this work for me. I really like the trim and ribbon on it. A before pic is included. I loved the original shape (in theory), but It was ridiculously tall and I just couldn't do it. I won't bother posting a pic of how it looked on me. Lol.

Oh, I like that a LOT! First time I've ever encountered that particular model, and LOVE the underbrim binding accent!

Thanks, Voodoo! I hadn't come across one before either. Those accents set it apart for me and I spent a bit more than normal to get it.

In the 70’s a 3X Western would have sold for around $30. At $63.50 I think you might be off by a decade, maybe post- Urban Cowboy era.

Yeah, I started thinking that after I posted. The shape reminded me of an American Hat Co that I have that dates to the late 60's. I struggle with the late 60's to mid-80's dating. The price should have been a clue for me.

Heading out in the fog this morning.. coffee then early voting. Thought Id give the Number 1 quality Stetson a spin. Still havent decided what to do with this one..... its in as-received condition... all Ive done is a bit of brushing. I love the slightly aged look of he ribbon ends... I may very well put a new liner in and then just leave it as it is.

Mr Bear absolutely loves the smells from old hats... every time I walk out in the yard for pics, he runs over to join in and get a sniff or two lol

Post 1983 Borsalino this AM.

Yesterday had periods of heavy rain so I chose a big brimmed Akubra to provide cover

I love this old Stevens with its neato back bow ribbon. Unfortunately the moths did too!

I love the underbrim ribbon. Like the "Half Campaign bow" on the hatband too

Got up feeling like its a bigger brim day. One of the rehabbed 4x Stetsons fits the bill
