What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Dan718]

Akubra Campdraft getting a bit of a rough trip in China for a conference. Holds up remarkably well although the crease has taken a bit of a ‘natural’ shape, and an ad hoc centre crease to raise the crown helped keep the heat off noticeably better than a teardrop, especially with the liner removed.

Perhaps not as warm weather comfortable as straw but definitely robust enough for travel.

Heading over to College Station, Texas today for lunch with some old service buddies. Warm and muggy so out comes another Stetson Hemp for the day. This one an Open Road. I flattened out the brim curl on the front half and knocked a bit of LBJ off of it lol

As a side note, today in my little hometown of Crockett, Texas is the 189th birthday of Houston County. The first officially organized county in the Republic of Texas in 1837

White Optimo "Capone" kicking around the house in the middle of summer yet again lol. This is my whitest hat. I have no idea what practical use I will have for this hat; I just think it's cool.

This is my attempt a slightly different bash than what came in the box. I'm not particularly good at this. The pinch was wider in the front and I didn't care for it. I start with a center dent basically, because that's easy and what I'm used to, and then try to get the pinch close to what I want. It kind of morphs into more of a tear drop shape because of the way my pinch comes out.

This hat has a very specific shape in the marketing photos, and I may try to replicate that shape for practice at some point. What do you guys think?

The dang earbuds make another appearance - at least they match this time lol

The way it came in the box is probably closer to the marketing photos; as you can see the pinch is very broad. I wish I had photos of this hat from different angles.

A pre-war Royal Stetson montecristi in remarkable condition, save for missing the little sweatband bow. I wish I were a fly on the wall when the art department brought that logo into the print shop.

Another spectacular example, thank you, Alan!
It almost seems possible to feel the subtle texture of the straw. This hat, with your perfect pictures with proven Pratt provenance provides a peek at paja perfection!!!
A truly special example in so many ways, Alan.

Custom made rabbit felt hat day out and well suit for a winter’s day in the southern island.

Greatly enjoying the steady stream of great hats people have been posting.

Lovely interpretation! In case there was any question, here is the real original OP…
I think it’s close!

Back in Clearwater, by the bay, and I had to go with straw for my first day back in the sun. A Dobbs gambler.

Yeah - I can’t get that kick up on the left right without jacking up my brim in the front. I wish @belfastboy didn’t live so dang far away or I would go take his class.

Im a big Lock & Co. Fan !

What craziness is this Wormser with the 1 5/8” brim!? Not a very likely candidate for me, but it had to get out sometime.

Worn both with and without dents.

You wear it well...You should give trilbys another chance. Looks like you two get along very well indeed.

I bought this Doria Panama a couple years ago...it's been a diamond crown with lots of rake, a tear drop, today a simple center crease.

Last week I saw a Croched Raffia fedora in a boutique on the Turkish Riviera. I remarked to my wife that İ thought it look hip, like a bohemian panama alternative. The weave was stamped from Madagascar and the hat was produced in Paris at La Chapellerie De Punta En Blanco. My wife really thought it looked like me.

Next day she comes home with it!!!

It really needed a reshaping...here it is after a couple hours of steaming and as my wife says, "Hat Whispering "

 

[jba972]

Wearing this Superduper hat
and I can't seem to stop changing the crease on this one. This feels like the best hat for this weather since it's the lightest weight.
