What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[MarkD]

And that bluegrass looks better on you everytime I see it Neo.

Feeling brown today so it's the dark brown Alessandria:

That thin ribbon looks great on you!!!!

I know ya'll are going to think I'm crazy, but since it 80 degrees today I wore my Sunbody Teardrop straw. Just too hot for wool!

I don't know if ours are the same age but I have one that looks just like yours. One of my favorite hats.

I think that you look better clean shaven, but the facial hair does soften your jawline a little.

Most people used to say that to me. Then I shaved my face clean. Then everyone told me I shouldn't have shaved lol!





OH, and MarkD, thanks for the comment and bravo on that beautful Borso! :eusa_clap

 

[zetwal]

Flip back and forth and each time you'll get more and more handsome ...

Wore this one during a rainy afternoon in Los Angeles:

It held up quite well after getting wet, and it's already dry! For that matter, the Fed IV I wore yesterday dried up well too.

Gotta say J.B., I'm liking that homburg. It looks quite natural on you, and you in it :eusa_clap.



Monbla256, you asked earlier about the crease on my CD. Here it is (hat needs to be cleaned/vacuumed):

Thanks, I like it sort of a Tenn. style teardrop .....

.... try a nice medium orange when you re-steam it to get the curves smoother in the up area of the crease in the top. (on the inside of course )

I actually rather like the wrinkled look. I was trying to imitate the "arrowhead" that JimmytheLid put in one of his lids. I got frustrated, mumbled obscenities, and obstinately proceeded to make as many points as I could lol. It's nowhere near the awesome "handbashed" look of Randy's CD and Resistol, but it's a start .

When you think about it, it's funny how much time we put into the top part of the crease since that's the part that is least seen.

And a shot with my little buddy:

Well done Sir! Brown is one of my favorite colors. Brown leather, brown or tan hat and brown jacket or coat for me.

The way the hat is creased does indeed impact (sometimes dramatically) how the hat looks from all angles. It can influence fit as well. That said, we need not fuss over the crease.

I crease many of my hats just as dinerman demonstrates in this wonderful old video clip. Obviously, this may not be possible in all cases. Sometimes you may need to apply steam or water as well. Still, you get the idea. Enjoy!

Alright, thanks! I have to admit, that "wrinkled look" you described very much resembles what I tried on the homburg during a c-crown experiment. I think it works very well with your Campdraft though, especially if it sits on top of your head comfortably to the point of it touching the scalp. That's how my Federation fits, although some probably prefer a looser fit.

Thanks! Indeed, the only part of the dome that makes contact with my head is in the very back, and I don't mind it at all.

 

[monbla256]

TAHT'S the spot I DON'T want touched! Don't need it to get any more of a chrome dome than it already is

 

[theinterchange]

Thanks! and yes...what gave it away?

I have one that I believe is just like it.

Thanks for the compliments on my CD and Resistol, I really appreciate it!

Speaking of bash work, what you've done to your Campdraft looks pretty good.

Randy

P.S MarkD, that outfit looks fantastic!

Well you've definitely got the look put together! Great hat and outfit!
