What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[zetwal]

Nice Strat, Zetwal. The color looks similar to mine. I know you own pins, do you wear them at all?

It does look similar to yours. And it may be the same color. It's hard to know without seeing them side by side.

On occasion, I will wear a vintage DC3 for a week or two at a time for a little variety. Even though I think the pins are really cool, most of the time I don't wear one.

Cool stuff, Zetwal. Thanks for the reply.

Traveling to a meet in a couple of hours. Last minute paperwork and preparations. Wearing my VS Dove the next couple of days as my normal guy costume. My coach costume is packed and ready.

Spoke to athletes, their parents and our 2 coaches who will be traveling at the end of morning practice. We spoke of striving for personal excellence. Tuff, buff and pretty athletes heading out to tackle excellence. My hat was casually left on a beam during the summary and my wife snapped a pic.

Inspired by the girls to be my best, Eric -

Pretty Dove you have, Eric!

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Thanks Perry. I admit I am in a bit of a holding pattern wearing this hat. I supose this is an "issue." More attention should be given to my other "lonely hats." I sure other forum folks will recognize as familiar my current "issues."

Working to solve "issues," Eric -

Today I'm wearing my 1960's Dobbs Westward "Beater"

I have to be honest, this isn't very good felt. The finish is okay, but there is too much shellac in the felt and when the brim is bent without steam, it "crinkles." The crown is fairly soft with less shellac, but it will always be a beater. I did replace the ribbon with a 3 cord ribbon. Its the same height at 3/8 of an inch, but I think looks better than just the standard grosgrain ribbon.

I tried going for the "The Douglas" shot....

Gramercy cap/ Darwin Martin House

That's a great house! The cap is very nice, too.

This is the finest hat I own. I rarely wear it, partly because I'm so protective of it and partly because it doesn't match up well with a lot of my duds. It's the only hat that retains the feather it came with; I think it's the original feather as the hat came to me in near mint condition. At one time I considered selling it, but now I think I'll keep it.

Disney Fifteen, velour finish, in a deep brick/rust/oxblood sort of color:

That's a great house! The cap is very nice, too.

+1... I've recently started looking at flat/newsboy caps and yours works very well for you, and with the jacket, too.

 

[hatophile]

That's a great color Salty and goes quite nicely with your outfit. I would keep that one!

 

[Chepstow]

Guys, superb Hats today. Unfortunately I have not enough time today to tell all individually to your hat, what beauty.

I was wearing my soft unknown maker hat for going to the hospital.
It was bitter cold today.

Slummin' it today, are ya Josh? lol that's a great hat, and I like what you did with the ribbon. I'd have to double check, but I think you gotta make sure one eye is completely hidden for the awesome "Douglas" shot!

 

[bowlerman]

Great Strats, 25, Cervo, VS's, cap! ooooh, that Oxblood is so nice and ruddy, Salty. Amazing.
wear them proudly, as I know you are!

We went to visit a hat shop in Valparaiso that was established in 1927. Very nice shop, with very few customers.






On the next block over was a hat repair shop that was probably a total 250 to 300sf. There were two individuals working on hats. I spoke to the owner for a few minutes, but the customers starting lining up behind me, so I left to allow him to go back to work. I wanted to get photos of the interior, but as long as I waited, the shop never emptied of customers. This is just the exterior of the shop.

Cicero, I hope you're feeling OK, or going to work?
Sharp Lee Jeff, reminds me of my Whippet in similar color.
Beautiful Borso, Steve.
