Nice looking blue hat Art made you. My last hat from Art is a blue like yours in the trackside style. It is a good looking color and a lot easier to wear than I first thought it would be. The thing I like best about your color is that you can look good dressed up and you can look good dressed down. You did good, or should I say Art did good.

Nice porkpie there, Torpedo. I have one navy blue fedora and I love it. (If it ever comes up missing - Bolthead did it!!)

Daizawaguy, your hats and attire are always first rate. I appreciate the Tokyo tours you share with us in your daily hat pictures.

Well, it's not today...

...but the photo only came into my possession last night. This was back in July in South Carolina:

Linen & Straw, Straw & Linen, Linen & Fedora

Y'all are gonna hate me... my wonderful new two tone panama crown/cross/ Milan brim from del Monico Hatters of CT via eBay. It has a new hatband and bash and Rob of Strand Hatters in Sydney stretched it from 59 to 60.5 for me with great success. He was heard to complement me on an unusual and beautiful hat.

Other hats have been my Bianchi Milan for Melbourne Cup day November 3 and a Strand Hatters special blue grey Parabuntal fedora (with a 3 inch brim) which I snagged for AUD 100 down from AUD299.

Of course the linen suits are out of the closet as well!


Now I read somewhere that it snowed around election day ...right? lol

Mike, I'm still looking for pictures of you in those hats and a linen suit or two. What are we missing here?

Let's not take the word "today" too literally; but since some are taking us on a tour of Tokyo, here's a picture of me this summer, taken at (O)Porto in ...Portugal... Beautiful place, didn't drink any Port wine (diabetes taking care of residual sweetness). The steel bridge was built around 1900 by Belgian engineers, says a plaque there... The hat, I bought in Mexico City, very, very near the Zocalo, at the old and apparently famous "Tardan" hatmakers. Hat says "Hecho en Mexico" as well as "Hecho en Ecuador". I think it's a Cuenca (who knows for sure?)

Nice Panama. Probably woven in Ecuador and blocked and/or finished in Mexico.

I hope you're posting on the Adventurer's Gear Thread(s) with photos from Mexico, Belgium. Tokyo, and wherever your travels take you! We can live vicariously through your travel photos.

Great hat diazawaguy, I love the dimensions. That overcoat really caught my eye, too. Where'd you get it?

Sharp photos everyone.

For some reason IC, that hat just goes with that shirt! I like it!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Man, that moss green VS is nice! Is the band bronze or gold? I can't tell on my monitor but whichever, it is sharp!

Kind of a Khaki with a gold sheen to it.

Can't wait for my next shirt to get here! It's political tho, from around 1775, 76lol but appropriate for a rebel like myself!

Stetson Twenty Sovereign

My first effort. I'm not too sure about this one, but the price was right ($25)

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Today was Stetson Medalist Eagle (c. 1942). Very patriotic hat. Might wear my other one (grey) tomorrow:

 

[jimmy the lid]

That's a nice one, Gene. Love that red, white and blue ribbon, as well.

Cheers,
JtL

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Thanks, Jimmy. I am wearing the grey one today. It has the same interior.

An honorable Veterans' Day to all. I never became involved in the armed forces - I just sleep safely at night due to those who have.

Gratefully,

Gene
