What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[gtdean48]

Hello! This is a fedora by Pilgrim that I picked up this weekend at an antique store...

Very nice. Got any shots of the insides, liner & sweatband?

 

[Chasseur]

Excellent! These are some of the best location pics I've ever seen here!

Thanks! It was one of those classic Himalayan swinging bridges in Himalachal Pradesh. Man that bridge moved when we were on it!

I still have a full head of hair, so no hat required.........as of yet.

Thanks for sharing. Hat's can assist in preventing skin cancer,"brain bake" and eye damage. So you see they are functional as well as stylish.

Right. All of us here are heavilly balding guys who seek only to hide that fact by wearing hats...right! [huh] :eusa_doh:

Every now and then there are some really strange fellows turning up here. Come to think of it - there seem to be more and more of them...

The price paid when a Forum is growing in traffic and popularity I'm afraid. Fortunately, when run correctly as this one is, the good will generally FAR outweigh the bad.

Pardon my ignorance, Chasseur, but that's in India, correct?

 

[Chasseur]

Blackthorn,
That is right. Its one of the hill/mountain states in the Northwest along with Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir. Really a beautiful area.

If you don't mind me asking, Chasseur (I love to travel) were you on tourist kind of tour, or visiting friends who live there? I'd love to see that high county for myself. I was in India a few years ago, but only Delhi and Agra, and the roads in between.

Brimmed lids of any type, and caps too! Tagline of the Hat Section: If a guy doesn't have a lid, he isn't worth talking about. lol

I'll probably get some flack for this but, as well as my collection of classic hats, I also have quite a collection of New Era baseball caps, about 60. My hat collection covers a variety of types of headwear but I'm not sure many people would appreciate photos of baseball caps

DJH: Nice lid, the proportions suit you.

 

[RBH]

Great photos as always guys!!!
Good to see you Funneman!

 

[delectans]

Wonderful photos, gentlemen! Keep them coming.

New Stetson 15 this morning.

That is a stellar Stetson, David!

VERY nice hat! :eusa_clap Looks great on you.

That is one smooth looking lid.

Agreed, Dave. You have got some very nice vintages to go with your customs.

That is a stellar Stetson, David!

Thanks so much guys. I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to acquire what is basically a brand new, early 50's hat.

I'm getting to like this vintage thing!

Panama straw

I work in Cleveland. Mike the Hatter is located just around the corner from my office.

Below is my Capas Panama. I know I could have purchased a better hat for less money from many of the internet vendors. And next summer I certainly will. But as I am new to wearing fedoras, it is helpful to try on several hats prior to purchasing.

 

[delectans]

Good-lookin' Panama, Orangegrad! There is no better way to refine your hat preferences than hands and hat on inspection.

Blackthorn,

Not a problem. I am normally based in Delhi on these trips doing work/research and then organize side trips on the weekend. I was with friends, they did the driving up from Delhi and we split the petrol cost. However, we almost went with a tour bus company from Delhi but in the end we planned the trip too late to find a bus that worked with our tight time table. But from Delhi the tours we found were pretty reasonable for A/C bus, a couple of hotel nights, to most of the Northwest hill stations (Shimla, Manali, etc.).

Thanks Chasseur, if I get a chance to go back to Delhi, I'll be in touch to get tips on how to get to where you were. Thanks again for the cool pictures!

Looks good Dave.
Is there a reason you choose a particular hat on a given day?

It was past nine in the evening by race end, and we hurried over to one of our old favorites, Luci Ancora. The restaurant had cleared out by then, and so we enjoyed a leisurely, private supper.



Ivory Salmon, served with oyster mushrooms in a truffle sauce. A wonderful way to end the evening.

Great hat and shirt. At this point, I know even less about clothing than I do hats. Is that shirt retro or something I might be able to buy from a retailer? I've got to have one.
