Schott Special Horsehide Onestar. Still trying to break this in, but I love wearing it even while stiff. The hat is a Barbisio, also a pleasure to wear.
A couple of fairly recent acquisitions from fellow loungers today, and both ones I am enjoying a lot.
First, aStratoliner for a visit to the post office.
Followed by a Barbisio for some shopping and a cheap sushi late lunch/early dinner.
Not sure how to describe this telescope crowned hat...
One day, many years ago, for some reason, I decided that I wanted to delve into jazz. I went to the music shop and started looking for an album (CD). I picked out Wynton Kelly on a whim. I didn’t know anything about him except what I read on the liner notes. It was an inspired choice. I...
Thanks Stefan, but the Mogul was never a problem. It was the western weight Rancher that I was struggling to love. The good news is that I’m happy with the latest bash & pinch I’ve put on the Rancher, so it’s finally getting the love it deserves, too.
Yet another beauty. Love the logo and the texture on the sweatband…and the wide ribbon.
You’ve been collecting hats & hat memorabilia for some time, then!!:D
I've only ever owned one, and that was at the start of my hat journey. It was a cheap Bailey Litefelt wool hat, and once I got myself a couple of decent hats, I came to the conclusion that it looked terrible on me. It wasn't until I saw a Steve's one that I ever really considered another. Do...
I’m not surprised your Pork Pies are so popular. I seriously considered getting you to make one for me after seeing the one you made for @Steve1857. I believe that one was also a Tonak felt, but with a bit wider brim. It was a great advertisement for your hats in general, and your Pork Pies...
My third Schott. Another bought on the second hand market here in Japan.
This one is a size up from the other two. I bought with the intention of wearing more layers under it. It felt really big when I tried it without the liner attached. It’s not too bad with the liner attached, but the...
Exactly what I was thinking. I don’t own a Stetson in Caribou, but I tried one on in a hat shop a year or two back, and my first thought on seeing this was how different the colour was to the one I tried.
Nice looking hat, though, but I do tend to agree with you re the hat band.
Thank you, all. The Strat is not in pristine condition (John was upfront about that when he sold it to me), but I like it a lot. Definitely an excellent addition to my collection.
As for the new look, Etsuko’s finally getting used to the shaved head. I don’t think she’s a fan of the goatee...
