What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[casechopper]

Not sure Andy. I don't see anything on the tagging in the hat that mentions where it was made.

Casechopper - any idea when the Knox you're wearing was manufactured? I really like the proportions, and the width of the ribbon.

Is it that this jacket goes well with everything, or that it goes equally unwell with everything. I can't tell.

Hello, gents, and cheers to all. I'll echo hatsRme and agree that the hats are superb today. I'm quite busy during the week these days, so not much time to play here. I guess that's why they call it work. I received this from Mr. Fawcett the other day. I asked him for a Stratoliner clone in charcoal gray, and I would say he delivered. I'll come back on the weekend with some better photos.

Really nice hats on everyone today.

Like Andy, I really like that Superfine, Casechopper. And the photo of you on the roof is awesome.

I went with a Knox as well. Similar shade, too. It is a Premier Madison Avenue.

Enjoy.

Andy - great Stetson and outfit. Cleveland never looks bad from your photos.

Perry - Nice ribbon to crown balance.

Jhe88 - interesting band - I can imagine with a wideish ribbon it could look quite Fed like

Sam - you look like a man that means business Great Knox

Charlie - nice thinnie. How's the shoulder coming along?

Alan - the hat looks great (it took my eyes a while to adjust from a glimpse of the jacket though)

g.d. - he's definitely delivered

Matt - great colour and a nice wide ribbon

Awesome hats today gentleman.

I'm wearing a FP whiskey TAR this afternoon.

After I saw the pic I moved the ribbon down some.

 

[ManofKent]

John - great colour. Some ribbons do have an annoying habit of riding up.

I believe since you can't look at the jacket very long w/o going blind, focus is diverted to the hat. A fine tactic Alan

Fellas, your all looking sharp as usual.

Nice everyone!

Dang Alan, I both love the style and (as a University of Michigan Student) love the point of origin! Wish I could find one in a 7 1/2!

Thanks for the notes!

Reminded of an old joke, I'm just going to wear it until I need glasses.

Mulceber, I thought of you and Fluteplayer when I saw the UM connection. Maybe you can find out more about this maker? Seems long gone but once at 113 East Huron St.

Cold, showery and breezy so warm cap time. Harris Tweed from one of the Beaver Brand auctions:



Harris Tweed (jackets included) always need a bit of wear to soften up, this cap is slowly getting there.

Excellent, Alan!! I'm glad you got that one. I tossed a bid on that, but the better man won. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[Orangegrad]

Richard - that's a very nice cap. Love the colors.

 

[alanfgag]

Excellent, Alan!! I'm glad you got that one. I tossed a bid on that, but the better man won. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Did you bid again, Josh. I saw your marker and was hesitant to bid... then fur frenzy got the better of me.

I was going to big again, but got tied up watching a movie and totally missed the auctions end. LOL :eusa_doh:

The fur frenzy is a dangerous thing. Every time I see an ancient furry lid like this, I get excited instantly!

Perry, Rusty, Richard, dh66, Mike, Manfred, Thanks!

Andy, Great early '50s Royal Stetson and overall look!

Perry, Your fuzzy Champ looks fantastic! As usual nice clothing match!

jhe888, Really like the band and brush on your black Stetson!

Sam, Super Knox Superfine! Sorry about the heating system issue.

hatsRme, Your Stetson ViteFelt O.R. is a winner!

Alan, Great to see the old brown Mann's Velour in action! It's a beauty!

g.durand, Very stylish VS Stratoliner clone! Really like the felt color.

Matt, Your Knox Premier Madison Avenue is a knockout!

John, Great looking FP whiskey TAR!

Richard, Super look as usual with Harris Tweed combo! Also like the stone wall background.

 

[mayserwegener]

Today a gray Mayser Homburg.

 

[hatsRme]

What a fantastic hat/color, Steve (and as ALWAYS, pristine)! Your derby of a couple of days ago also deserved special call out, just because the proportions and the FIT seemed just right... one of the very best derby presentations in our "neighborhood," IMHO.


Alan your parka either complements or contrasts EVERYTHING in perfect color harmony. Judiciously topped off by today's spectacular, fuzzy "Michiganer" hat (from Ann Arbor).

Richard you should be the spokesman for the classic English gentleman look. The cap already looks comfortably broken in!
