Hats in restaurants
:eusa_doh:Tommy, Hello. I've heard of straw hats, felt hats and even baseball caps...but I've never heard of anachronistic hats. Must be another trend I'm unaware of. -
Hats in restaurants
Hello and welcome PVQ. After walking into the greasy spoon and to your seat, in one fluid motion, going from standing to sitting down, you grab your hat with your right hand. Secondly, you pronate the hand holding the hat while straitening your arm, so as to hold the hat brim-down and down to... -
OK...so what is your oldest hat?
I just saw a hat just like this boater and it seemed so old compared to mine that I'm starting to think mine isn't quite as old as I thought. Any thoughts on the age of my Portis?? How I found it with ribbon over the top of the original ribbon. Original ribbon. Inside logo. Sweat. Neat weave... -
What is this hat?
Good observation, Brian. I thought it looked a bit staged though. -
What is this hat?
I shaped this western hat into a Australian like hat in my opinion. I trimmed the brim down but you wouldn't want to according to the pic that you're showing. -

What is this hat?
Well, the chap in the photo does seem to be having a better day than me. I think focusing on what hat you could shape like that would be a an attainable goal. Akubra comes to mind. You can certainly get a deal on a pre-owned, brown cowboy hat and shape it just like that. Make sure it is a felt... -

Post New Hats Here!
Ok not new by far but I just showed it so here's the original and well preserved black ribbon. Next year it will be brought out into the sun to roar again. (Like the '20s did—OK, maybe not that much.) -
Post New Hats Here!
Unfortunately doesn't fit the old pumpkin. I guess it's about a 7 to 7 1/8 (says 6 on a little sticker but I'm not sure if that means the size). -

Thanks, Justin. I know you like the old ones. It's soft like a bunny, too. -

Post New Hats Here!
Ok my pics are working! This is the blue gray Royal Stetson w/no liner. Possibly pre '50s to me. G976244 is on the orange tag and stamped on the sweat inside. I like the ribbon. A bit fancier than a Playboy. -

Post New Hats Here!
I can't believe I found this in a shop. It seems really old but is in great shape except for two tiny little bare spots in an OK spot on the brim's edge. It strikes me as a German long hair, made of hare I guess. -
If you could only wear one hat, what color would be ideal?
I thought my Stetson 25 OR was silver belly in the shop—but I realized it was light gray or dove gray, with no undertones of any other color, which I generally like to give some interest or added dimension. It just seems to make the overall color richer to me. I've sold small ones with feelings... -

Post New Hats Here!
Purplesage, that old Stetson hommie is nuts...Wow. I finally got to removing the ribbon to put a new one on this old Portis but to my surprise, the original and very fresh, black ribbon is perfectly preserved. I'd say it's 2" or just under. Too bad I didn't get to wear the hat this summer... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
The Royal Stetson I won came early yesterday. My email is not receiving my pics unfortunately. It is now the second best in condition of my '50s or older vintage hats. It is second only to my Stetson 25 OR, which is like new. The Royal's blue gray felt is already proving to be a color I want to... -
Adding an edge-curl to a snap-brim?
If you curl it, perhaps the brim will have the illusion of being narrower. -

Courage to Wear a Fedora
...Or one of the many OR clones. Bring your pocketbook, though. I find a cattleman's crease sometimes makes me invisible. Don't ask me why.
