What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[gtdean48]

That's not WAR, the joke is getting old. (and the photo, too)

It is as WAR as I get & the hat hasn't changed so the photo is accurate.
Your contribution of photos is where?

Jeff, looks great your Montechristi. Also the pug, a good choice for that hat!

Alan, terrific, super Dobbs. That hat looks great on you. Sharp Golfing cap too!

Richard, very nice Rehfus stingy. This factory closed 1964! A nice and rare find.

Robert, nice Hepville Cap and super Milan. Love that pug!

Frank, great outfit with your Straw, looks good on you!

David, sharp hat your Borsalino. Fits you great! Killer ArtLite for today!

AnA, both hats looks great on you! The question what to wear today is difficult!

Justin, you look great in your Vintage clothes, very very nice!

Al, fantasic as always, your super Optimo is a hammer hat. It's a pleasure to see you wearing it!

HamilcarBarca3, very good, you look sharp with that nice Stetson!

Sam, that hat is wonderful. Great felt and ribbon combination!

g-durand, wow, looks very good your Borsalino and the Cuenca, sharp too!

Tom, great custom Playboy, great hat in a great hat collection!

I'll second that motion.

+1...my ignore list grows....

Robert - Nice pugaree

Sam - Looks good - nice ribbon proportion

Alan - great fun. 50's?

HamilcarBarca - looks sharp - any shots of the bash from the top?

-------------------------------

Thanks for the comments on the Rehfus - I didn't reallt need another brown stingy, but the price was too good to ignore, and it's a different shade of brown.

Manfred - I saw the article where the factory was closed in 63/64. If I was asked to guess the vintage I'd have put it at 80's/90's - any idea whether they continued production elsewhere?

Warm but breezy today.

Wegener Homburg:



It's a tad formal looking for going jacket-less (I think the grey oddly looks more formal than a plain black homburg)...

Richard, No, this factory, definitely closed in 1963-64.This hat could be a "new" old Stock hat from a retailer who stored some Rehfus.

Hmmm... I think it's my first photo after my nose surgery 2 weeks ago, to help me sleep better.

Nice ones today, gtdean, Sam, hamilcar, mok, Alan, rlk, and joao! Apologies if I left anyone out-- difficult to check while responding on this kindle.

Joao, hope you're breathing easier at night.

Alive n amplified, nice! I wonder if part of my problem is that I just don't care much about clothing, and if I do have a wardrobe budget, it almost always goes to a hat. Sheesh!

This morning I wore my 7x cbor with a new crease. It fits much better now. On the fence about keeping it in the classifieds now, though I could still use the dough.

Still wet in this photo.

Ah! How could I forget those. Beauties, Justin, David, and g Durand! Shining examples guys.

Alan - great fun. 50's?

Yes, I think so. It is a fun pattern. Much more fun than my golf game. Here, apres golf, a sadder and wiser man.

Joao, I hope the the new improved nose is healing well. Good to see you back.

Wegener Homburg... It's a tad formal looking for going jacket-less (I think the grey oddly looks more formal than a plain black homburg)...

Nah, I disagree. You can easily wear that casual. Jeff and I were weighing in our thoughts recently about black hats, and then he wore a black / midnight blue homburg with a t-shirt. It was brilliant! Yours looks perfect jacket-less. :thumb:

Glad to see you on the pages again, Joao! And a beautiful hat!! :eusa_clap

Alive n amplified, nice! I wonder if part of my problem is that I just don't care much about clothing, and if I do have a wardrobe budget, it almost always goes to a hat. Sheesh!

Now that I've been at my new job, I have to wear a lot more dress pants/shirts and sometimes suits. Now when I get home I've been changing in to shorts and a t-shirt. Though, I haven't been taking any pics of the ultra casual fare yet.

A brim for the ages, Alan. Splendid!

Props to Joao and Alan for the wide brims today!!:yo:

...would those be considered "WABs"??? [huh]

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Spent the day in my blue Champ De Luxe again, with a little tilt. Went perfect with my blue striped shirt...

 

[splintercellsz]

David, thanks for the rain nod. Hopefully it manifests something here! Love the dimensions & felt on that lid!!

Dean, beautiful lid! Thank you for posting it!!

Robert, that pug is awesome!! Thank you for the interior shot!

Case, one of my all time favorites!

Alan, swell cap! Sorry to hear about the not-so-good turnout of the Golf game.. love the Western a though
Hamil, that one looks great on you! You wear it well!

Richard, dressy or not, that is one fiiinnnneee 'burg! Love that felt color! Perfect!

Jao, too cool, my friend!

Jeff, thank you sir! You are looking quite dapper yourself. Whatever your decision, that is one swell lid!

AnA, perfect color and angle! Looks great!

After work. 1900s Stetson Long-Hair... I love this lid!

It's late and I'm propping my eyes open as I write. Thanks to everyone who directed kind comments my way today, and to all who posted. What a diverse, high quality showing today, gents. This afternoon I wore the Dobbs Twenty lightweight for the first time. It was enough to prompt a gentleman behind me in the grocery store checkout line to comment, which started a conversation about vintage hats. Now to get some sleep. See everyone tomorrow.

Richard, No, this factory, definitely closed in 1963-64.This hat could be a "new" old Stock hat from a retailer who stored some Rehfus.

Thanks - not NOS - it was pre-worn, but very lightly judging from the inside - quite dusty on the outside so it had been stored for a while.

 

[ManofKent]

Thanks for the comments on the 'burg.
-----------------------------------------------

Joao - Stetson looks good. Hope you're sleeping better.

Bowlerman - the cbor looks good with that crease.

Alan - a great hat to sit under and contemplate. I decided long ago to stick to courses that have minature windmills and ramps.

AnA - looks great with that shirt.

Justin - I can see why you're loving that hat.

g.d. - The Dobbs looks great - I can see why it's a conversation starter.

Worth & Worth Montecristi

 

[delectans]

The word vicarious has never held so much meaning to me as viewing your posts right now, Al!

Glad to have you along, even if only vicariously through a few images. Wonderful portraits and hats, as always, my friend!

Al, looks like so much fun!!

Thanks, Justin. Love your old fuzzy Stetson!

Wow, so many great hats today. Since I'm getting in late, I'll just say "kudos everyone".

Appreciate your kudos as well as your fine lids today and yesterday.

Al, Splintz, G - nice hats guys.

Thank you, David. Terrific hats you have chosen.

AL - Lovely shots again.

Compliments on your fine photos, Richard, and thanks for your kind words!

I love your photos, delectans. May I request something, though? More landscapes and hats and fewer virtually identical portraits?

Thank you, Andrew, and welcome. I appreciate your candid comments.

I will post many more photos of landscapes as well as subjects I find visually compelling in a more appropriate thread, FEDORAS AFIELD, when time permits.

My hat selection for this trip is limited to the three Montecristis I brought along, so I am afraid my hat portraits will be somewhat repetitive. As far as virtually identical portraits, they are a manifestation of my affinity for photo montages.

Al, fantasic as always, your super Optimo is a hammer hat. It's a pleasure to see you wearing it!

Your kind words are always sincerely and deeply appreciated, Manfred!
