    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Nice array of hats today. I had a great weekend. We went cross country skiing a couple times and also went to the Nutcracker ballet today. I wore the Williams and Co. hommy and compliments were thrown my way. We did have to fight an older lady for our balcony seats (best seats in the house) but...

    Joao Encarnado, I do like your style and great pics! They are always great. Of course I would love some opinions on brims, etc., etc. Off to play in the aftermath of our recent winter storm. As of now, it looks like around -25 below 0 temperatures with the wind. Somebody, HELP ME!! Later, gentlemen.

    Some very cool hats. I'm off again to push snow soon. I think that 20X is newer because my 7X (unlabeled OR) Stetson with the exact liner no longer has a snap brim. I believe '60s ORs still had snap brims. It looked like an OR when I found it but is a newer lookalike IMO. I thought it was...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yes it was nice today. We put up a swag on our house and went across the river to a polka dance and dinner. It was really neat to see the older people walking slowly out to the floor and then transforming into graceful pairs once they started dancing waltzes and so forth. Brent for me.

    It looks relatively modern, yet it is cool to have a labeled Open Road....you're in the guild now.

    I've been hanging behind the scenes a bit but... Charlie, the B&W pic is really cool, old sport. BTW, that family pic was insane. Brothers of the Brim, unite! Manfred, the Colonel has a unique brim and a cool look. Well done, my friend. Many cool hats have been flashed around lately, men. I like it.

    Yes, thank you. I really am loving it. Not sure if Lee made these? Thanks, since it hasn't snowed much, we thought we'd pick up the leaves one more time so I was wearing a good, warm shirt. Manfred, that Colonel is a special hat for sure.

    I know, right? Your commentary always makes me laugh. I'm sending one back but just got this one in the mail today. A sand tan Brent. Right out of the box it was a little too roomy and sat on the top of my head. Also didn't snap down because the brim was misshaped a small amount. After a little...

    Manfred, glad to hear you are still around. I am not as active on the lounge as I was last winter since I'm working more now. Worf, that is a perfect hat and jacket. Kyle, looks like a good all around hat.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Congrats. I think that was a highly watched lid. I received a Lee that was advertised as 23 inches three times in the ad, but it was far from. I should be able to send it back but will have to pay shipping. I'm tired of paying for others mistakes. I allso just won a nice looking Brent which I...

    How do you react to intrusive hat price questions and/or unwanted hat touchings?

    If someone touches your hat...step on their shoe and say that they threw you off balance when they touched you without warning. Maybe that will remind them of rule no. 1 and rule no. 2: (1) Don't touch someone's hat. (2) Don't step on someone's shoe.

    Been following the conversation and it's crazy how knowledgeable you guys are. Any thoughts on my Williams & Co. hat as far as age? I finally have a bit larger pics to offer.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Oh, I got sidetracked. We stopped by the store a few days ago and the boy at the checkout said, "Nice hat, by the way." A minute later, a woman came up behind us and shared, with an admiring look at my hat, "Wow. That's a really sharp hat. I wish I could get my husband to wear hats like that."...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Yes, bad manners there. I went to a close friend's funeral and left my hat in the car. One younger guy who was also attending actually looked at my pea coat with suit and tie in disgust, like I was showing off or something. I mean, really. He was in his usual t-shirt and jeans for a...

    ....And this could be me, back in the '60s just coming to the realization that I'll never wear this bowler.
