What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Where in OH are those Transformers!

Thanks, guys. I'm not into transformers, but I am deeply interested in crazy. These fit the bill.
You can find these in Cleveland, on a street called Wichita off of Fulton.

Banner day on the Lounge! It's like the end of the fireworks show when they go all out. One great hat after another!

Beautiful Hat! I love the colors, proportions, everything. If you don't mind me asking what are the dimensions, including ribbon height?

Out come the straws DownUnder

I picked up this lovely restored vintage panama from Tom at Premierpanamahats in California. As far as Tom knows the body came from a New York hatter (after Ecuador) that went out of business in 1915. Who knows, but it's certainly got some age to it, has a wonderful soft feel and Tom has done a lovely refurb and resize.

Mayserwegener: I really like how dark that brown is. A real eye catcher.

Ephraim Tutt: That is one of the nicest straws I have seen in a while. Love the ribbon color and hat proportions. I would wear that.

Quality not quantity, great philosophy. Of course if you can have both then...well done.

I've thinned out my collection recently too. I've realized that I only have one head and it doesn't make sense to have hats you don't wear (unless it's a really unique example) might as well go to someone who will wear 'em.

Time for my black Steson Whippet, an appropriate colour for a mostly shades of grey oufit:

great outfit! I don't think I've seen a black whippet before!

[RobFedoraField]

Now THAT is just FABULOUS!!

:arated:

 

[RobFedoraField]

That would be worth the 5 hour drive to Cleveland!

 

[RobFedoraField]

Man, I hope I'm up to par with all of these great hats today!

Empire State Diplomat (I got to get a camera phone that takes better pics)

Gray Borsalino today.

Nice Empire state, Rob. By the way, the Knox I wore the other day is 5 1/2 inch crown open
and 4 1/2 bashed.

Beautiful Hat! I love the colors, proportions, everything. If you don't mind me asking what are the dimensions, including ribbon height?

Thanks! The brim is ~ 2 1/4 inches (over welt) and the crown is ~ 5 inches creased with some taper. The ribbon is ~ 2 inches and the bow is frayed at the back. P. & C. Habig detail work was super. This one also has their patented Ventilo vent system.

DRB, Thanks!

ET fantastic Panama! Rodkins super Adam Marston!

Ephraim, nice straw. I dig that ribbon, too!
Lefty, you are standing tall enough and proud at the side of these mechanical contraptions.
MWegener, you are the German hat ambassador. And not one of them bad.

RobFF, it would seem black Whippets were not much popular (well, black is not generally speaking a popular hat colour, anyway). I may well be wrong, but I think I have not seen another one here at the Lounge. Mine belonged to a reverend, so providing a obvious explanation for the choice of colour:

 

[mayserwegener]

Torpedo Thanks! Your black Whippet is fantastic! I often find myself wearing black hats.

Still raining today so the BIG hat gets worn back to my Bushman ! This hat continues to get "softer" the more weather it is exposed to. NOT floppy, it's just developed a much softer, less stiff hand than when it was new! I probably wear it at least 50% of the time in the winter

Will you PLEASE stop posting that Bushman hat picture!? Hat envy is a terrible thing!
