What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Royal Stetson Bantam

Up early this morning, no time for coffee. Excepting the hat, not a pretty picture.

Alan you & hat look Great coffee or not

Nice ribbon on that Dobbs Javier

All nice hats this morning.

 

[John Galt]

For me today, another lightweight felt. The Champ Featherweight in a rare color, sky blue. This is not reeded, and I have not seen any Champ Featherweights that are. The felt is nice, and the hat weighs about the same as "two packs of cigarettes."

Viclip - I'm not a feather fan, but I like the hat - nice colour too.

Wearing the made for 'Kendall-Milne' again today. I wish I could identify the maker and age, late 50's/60's is my best guess...

Two attempts at getting a photo that shows it's proportions:

Another great day for hats folks.
I like what they did with your Dobbs Javier.
That green hat looks great with your tie Mano.
OR for me today for TAR Tues.

That green hat looks great with your tie Mano.

Early 70s but still high quality P. & C. Habig Wien

Steve, I think it would be great to post a sound recording of you (or one of our European friends) saying these names properly. I say them to myself whenever I read your posts and can only imagine how badly I am butchering them. I am a little more confident on the Borsalinos but just a little.

Looks great Alan.

Lovely colour to that Champ John.

Thanks! Great hats all around. And I too like the color (Yankee spelling) of the green one posted above. Maybe someone should start a color thread. I remember reading that the Stratoliner was offered in 24 colors or some such variety, but we rarely see anything but taupe & brown vintage hats.

Nice looking smaller crown and brim for you Steve.

 

[mayserwegener]

Alan, Habig is actually a bit difficult because of the "ig" ending. I have heard both "ich" and "ik" and "ig". I believe my hatter friend from Augsburg uses the "ik or ig" ending. I am going check with him. My friend said as written "ig" and not "ich".

Perry, Thanks! Yes this one has less crown but common for that time. Quality wise P. & C. Habig made really nice hats into the 70s and 80s. It's too bad they went out of business.

Super Robert!

Great looking lids everybody, as usual. It's a "wait a minute" weather day here, bright and clear one minute, dark and pouring the next. Had to go into the world though so wore the trusty Lock & Co.

Driving while hatting. Hope I don't get a ticket.

Borsalino Light Weight

sharp, Sharp, SHARP!
Alan, the bantam, though in my least favorite hat color (on me), is definitely a double take hat.
Sir Man of Kent, I liked that hat last time you posted it, and even better in these photos. Really suits you, and the tie is perfect. What a great shade of green.
Perry, your Mallory is still one of my favorites around:

Mallory reworked by Optimo.

Nice hats this weekend and today gents!

G. Durand, nice photos and nice hats! What is that favorite drink of yours, or did you simply mean wine in general?

 

[DJH]

Finally warming up again but still not Panama weather. Good day for a lightweight felt like this Playboy.
