What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[alanfgag]

Congratulations on the nice new 4X, CC.

Thanks for the nice comments on my Tuesday Borsalino. Fine hats this morning... I spent some time with HistoryTeach's offering and now I'm off to get my neck adjusted. Catch up with y'all later.

For a cool Texas morning, my Stetson Stratoliner (modern).

Great STetsons and TARs Sam and TPD.

My apologies for my absence from the lounge in the last week or so. I had a real bad flu most of last week and then was busy with wedding festivities this past weekend. I was the best man at my friend Larry's wedding. We went several months ago to pick out the tuxedos and he wanted me to pretty much pick out what I thought would look good. I went with the most vintage looking tux they had. To celebrate this joyous day, I needed a special hat. I decided to wear (most likely for the first time in the hats life) my 1920's/1930's Flechet silver long hair. The felt and trimming quality on this hat was absolutely remarkable. Like I said, this came from a NOS lot of hats and I believe has never been worn before. I made sure to be very careful that night with the hat, but here's just a few photos from an incredible night.

Nice AM lids

A Kevin McAndrew WAR for me.

Nice lids everybody!
Jared-- the OR looks great.
Mike-- a perfect playboy. very neat lines.
Sam, you've been killin' me with all these great hats lately, man!
Everyone's looking sharp!

I've hardly taken the new VS off my head. Here it is with dents.

The thing about this hat is that it fits almost too good! It sits exactly where I wanted it to (which is perhaps a hair higher than most of my other hats) and nowhere else!

Awesome, Josh! Thanks for the images. Great looking ensemble!

 

[bowlerman]

Yeah Josh! Glad you're feeling better. Impressive silver spun Flechet!

Good to see ya back Josh, I was noticing your absence this week. Grand pictures of you and the Wedding, that long hair looks great with the Tux! Nice choice.

Super WARs Javier and Jeff.
Jeff I know what you mean about the VS fit. I am working on my crease now for the Strat I got, trying to get it just right. I hope to wear it for Fawcett Friday.

Jeff that is a damn nice hat

Got home a bit ago from a meeting and left my sport jacket on the porch and have been romping in the yard with the dogs. Cool 25'F temps are excellent "romping" weather. Business meeting and play have found me wearing my 50's chocolate Stetson Whippet.

Best, Eric -

Jeff that is a GREAT hat. The blue is very classy looking. Jacket and sweater working well. The hat fits - tooo well. My feeling also. It is very indulgent when you are wearing a hat that rests lightly, comfotably and conforms perfectly to your head. The dimensions in the above pic are flattering for you.

Congrats - it is a handsome hat. Eric -

WAR Wednesday...as wide as I can go...VS Playboy

 

[hatophile]

C'mon Tom, you can cheat and wear a TAR if you want!
But that's a gorgeous Playboy.

I am sorry about the pictures for some awful reason my ipad will not take a good picture right now. I think it is my photobucket app

It's the artificial light, you'll get better results outdoors in natural light. Self portraits with an iPad is almost impossible.

Great looking lids as usual everybody.

 

[alanfgag]

+1 to all the above. Lovely photos!

 

[alanfgag]

Jeff - you look so happy in that hat. Congratulations on a winner!
Well done Javier and Eric and Manfred.

Tom's got the right idea - mid-ribbon for mid-week. Make love, not WAR!

Borsalino Ergosca that lived in a box.

Dude, that hat needs to be out and about!!! Is the edge bound or stitched? it's hard to tell from the photo.
