What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Spitfire]

Why thank you! Besides working in advertising I do teach communication at the University - maybe it's just rubbing off.

Doesn't ned to be a fedora Spitfire, it looks great on you!

 

[Joshbru3]

Love that ribbon, Joshbru3.

I love the bash of that hat Joshbru3!
Ernest

Joshbru, nice job. Eye-catching ribbon, too.

Joshbru -- really interesting Stevens. Great color.

Thank you very much everyone. Ive looked for a long time and have never been able to find another Stevens like this. I really love this hat.

Jimmy, I don't believe you own any bad hats. They are all great!
Ernest

Totally agreed. The words, "Bad Hats" dont even dare come up when I talk about your collection. You have some AMAZING hats Jimmy, and that Stetson is no exception. Just awesome. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

As for me, I assembled a classic enough combo, polka dot bowtie and all, which I topped with a "custom made" midnight blue homburg, by Taylor Hat Mnfg, Cleveland.

Great combo Torpedo. That Homburg goes PERFECT with that outfit.:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

JTL & Torpedo, Thanks!

Gene, Beautiful Borsalino! Rare color too!

Torpedo, The midnight blue Taylor custom Homburg is fantastic! Overall fantastic combo as usual!

Hatophile, Super Resistol! The finish looks great!

GTDean48, Great VS! The mid size ribbon is a winner!

Josh, Really like the Stevens. The ribbon is very unique!

Spitfire, The Basque Beret look is very cool!

I like!!!! That oufit is just so cool.

Billy, Thanks! It is my only dark blue one. By the way another super Adam! I would like to see a thread of your entire Adam collection.

JTL, Fantastic Stetson Royal Deluxe! The ribbon/bow is WOW!

RBH, Only 60 here in MD but not complaining. Great VS Milan!

This evening -> 1930s Hückel Surperior

Very nice, Mayser, like the color and shape of that Huckel. That dark blue is cool, Joshbru.

It's gonna rain today and my Squatter needs to get it's required Akubra rain baptism so on the head it goes

 

[mayserwegener]

Very nice, Mayser, like the color and shape of that Huckel.

Thanks! This hat is very interesting. It definitely was made not to take side dents. The felt is very dense and some what stiff. If you try to apply side dents (even with steam) they will eventually pop back. This is probably one of the finest made hats in my collection.

Friday arrives and this Stetson WeekEnder just feels right. I don't know why that should be the case. Perhaps the moniker plays on my subconscious. Or maybe the uncredited 40s era psychic that named this hat really did know what she was doing! Of course, skeptics may point out that she appears to be off by a full day. I say that weekend is a state of mind ...

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Spitfire, that looks like one of those photos of the author on the back of a book. Fantastic shot of you, pal!

 

[Lloyd]

Started with my VS Oxblood this morning

we'll see where we end up later this afternoon

 

[zetwal]

I love that one, Llyod ...

I agree, totally, Zetwal, gorgeous hat and I can see the weekend starting with that one. A little Margaritaville on the head?

Jimmy, I don't believe you own any bad hats. They are all great! That particular shape of the brim is growing on me. With the sides flat and front and back kinda folding downward.
Ernest

Thanks very much for the kind words, guys. Much appreciated.

Big_e -- With regard to shaping of the brim, I prefer only a very slight curl at the back. As you note, that gives a kind of downward feel to the back of the brim, although the upward curl is still there. The amount of brim curl toward the back of a fedora, in my view, makes a real difference in how a lid looks on one's noggin. Obviously, there are different tastes in this regard, but folks should remember that this is an aspect of the lid that can be molded to taste.

Cheers,
JtL

I like that color more than the standard gray/tan/silverbelly. Nice shaping as always.

Great hats all around today!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap
