Were hats more disposable in earlier times?
I appreciate all the thoughts on this. I also need to remember that TR was usually wealthy, and was very attuned to PR and the importance of looking right for whatever part he was playing - be it rancher, colonel, assemblyman, governor, president, etc. As with most things, hats were surely more... -
Were hats more disposable in earlier times?
I've been reading about Theodore Roosevelt a lot lately, and all of the biographies and documentaries feature images that suggest the man must have owned a lot of hats over his lifetime. Active as he was, I suspect he wore many of them out. But it made me wonder whether fur felt hats were as... -

Me, too. And for some reason, I keep looking at the photo and hearing Bullwinkle's voice: "Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat." -

Woman wearing Hats
I don't want to give the wrong impression. I'm not about to do a men's magazine photo shoot. I'm trying to make some nice pictures of my hats in a better context than self-portraits. These are going to be about light and felt, not skin and hotness... I'll post the results in a couple of days... -

Woman wearing Hats
Women in Men's Fedoras Tomorrow night, some local actresses are coming over to model my hats so I can experiment with some lighting designs. I'm trying to learn how to light the hat, the model, and the background. I asked my daughter to try on my Fed IV so I could do some tests. I hope... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
My Stetson Deanzat Hybrid (so-called because I converted it from a giant-brimmed, cattleman's crease western). So far, every hat I've tried has been uncomfortable in 107 degree heat, so I figure, if I'm going to be uncomfortable anyway, I can at least use the sweat to further resize this... -
Akubra Overload
That's the only Akubra I've purchased in a store, without a box or any documentation, so I cannot name the color, but I believe it is faun/fawn/faughn (I made up that last one). The color changes with the light, and I have no idea how your computer monitor is set up (this image looks... -

Hat Photography Journey
I used umbrellas bounce, but next time I'll try shoot through and bring the lights closer. Such experiments are part of this journey! Thanks, Z -
Hat Photography Journey
I hope this isn't considered spam, because I don't run ads or derive revenue from my blog - I just think some of you might be interested in my quest to learn how to photograph hats, which I'll be documenting at Camera Club Confidential, my blog for lazy, disorganized, impatient photographers... -
open road western
Thanks. I just wanted to make the point that a stretch from 7 1/8 to 7 3/8 might not be unreasonable. Of course, I'm not sure I would try it on any hat that was precious to me. This one was expressly for experimental purposes. -
open road western
A Bit of a Stretch This hat came to me as a size 7 western. I typically buy 7 3/8 or 59, but my real size is somewhere in between 7 1/4 and 7 3/8. As part of the conversion from western to this hybrid, I stretched the hat, very patiently, over a series of weeks. I would soak the hat with...
