What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Neophyte]

Josh, that Mystery Stetson looks incredible! Well done. :eusa_clap

Alan, those are great shots.

DJH, love that Adam, and I echo Zetwal's envy of your weather lol.

Lee select panama for me.

Refined and classy as always, Alan. I think you should buy a nice Panama for Donna as well...

Nothing mainstream about that Mr. Mainstreet. Looks smashing, David.

Eric, Neo, AL - thanks!

Brando and David, great photos... it's a glorious summer day here too. I wore a sweater this morning.

 

[randooch]

Looking sharp, gents.

Today it's my 30X Stetson, 'til the day warms up. (We've been hitting the low 80's for a week now, just about perfect.)

Beauty is everywhere, and one need only look to find it. To quote Confucius: "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it."

Your Panama looks fabulous despite its ineffectiveness in repelling the skeeters. This has been an unusually bad Summer for mosquitos everywhere...

 

[delectans]

Fantastic, randooch! Looks like a 30X brim, too, but you wear it extraordinarily well!

 

[Brando11]

Thank you gentlemen. I understand the buzz on these Heritage Campdrafts now. This hat is substantial! It's my new fave-

That CD sure is a looker.

You only say that because you've never been in a bidding war with him. He's fierce I tell you...

'Tis a nice hat though.

Reminds me, I need to send you that ADAM Executive one of these days.

Cristen? That explains the smile

Your Mystery Stetson is looking really good as well - oh, my desk has never been that clean

Here's a man that looks comfortable and confident in his hat.

Nice hat and picture ¡¡¡¡ Cosi blanco ¡¡¡¡

Joshbru3; That hat works great for you. As an aside, your work space is way neat....wow.

WOW, THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL THE KIND WORDS!!! I'm really thrilled with all the positive response to the mystery Stetson. My desk isn't always that neat, but I try to keep it that way. It just gives me more places to put my hat. HAHA. What's interesting is that I actually feel more confident walking out of the house with a tall crown than a super wide brim. Anything over a 2 1/2 inch brim doesn't really look that good on me because I have a fairly long face. But the tall crowns just seem to look better on me than the shorter crowns. Even the rounder profile 50's crowns seem to look "different" on me than a nice straight 30's crown. This hat is so light and comfortable, most of the time I don't even know that I'm wearing it. If anything is a testament to vintage felt, this hat is. I would love to see a newly made Stetson get knocked around and crushed for 70 years and then just come back to life. I doubt it would happen. I've owned a modern Borsalino Alessandria and let me say that the felt was garbage. The first time that I steamed the hat the brim lost all shape, the crown wouldn't take a crease very well, and I constantly had to reshape the hat. Since I shaped the crown and brim of the Mystery Stetson, it hasn't lost shape once. I LOVE VINTAGE FELT. There.....IS.....A.....Difference for all the non believers.

Seemed like a perfect day for the Mr. Mainstreet!! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[alanfgag]

These pictures are incredibly beautiful, Alan!

Hi Josh. Donna winced a bit at the wrinkles, but she really looks just as she did when I first met her... 40 years ago. Really good DNA going on there.

Thanks! and cheers,
Alan

Thank you gentlemen. I understand the buzz on these Heritage Campdrafts now. This hat is substantial! It's my new fave-

Sweet crease! I compared it to an Imperial & it is a darker & more substantial ribbon for the band & binding. It is heftier & truly an upgrade if felt density & nicer finishing.

Even in this heat, the vented ArtLite is the berries...

Cooled off just enough that I could stand to get my newest addition out 1950's Royal DeLux .... love the way this hat looks on me!!! Isn't there a Stetson thread somewhere like the Dobbs Dinner or Lee Lounge ... can't seem to locate it!
