What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[T Jones]

In a rush this a.m. so I apologize for not having time to comment on all the nice lids displayed over the last couple of days... gear-guy, bowlerman, Harv, HamilcarBarca, Andy, Joao, mayserwegener, nice hats guys!

I'm back in possession of the Black Beast again, Akubra Squatter. So to make it less uglier than it is I decided to do something with it. I drew my inspiration from Johnny Depp's "Public Enemies" hat, (with a few of my own touches). I recreased the thing with a Center Dent and sewed on a wide Burgandy ribbon. I hid the stitching on my bow work....I still have to cut the brim down though. I'll probably go 2 1/2 wide on it, although Depp's hat looks a little less than that. More pics in the "Conversion Corral"...

Looks good TJ. I like the contrast of the ribbon.

Terry the hat looks great! Nice work. I think the brim is either 2 3/8 or 2 1/4 on Depps hat.
Charlie, looking good this morning with the VS, my friend!

Thank you. But Alan's Nutria overshadows me.

Love the big crown. How high is it?

Today went fuzzy. One of my favourite hats: Resistol Panda.

You guys have outdone yourselves.

TJones, nice conversion on that Akubra.
hatsRme - It may be time for another breakfast run. Nice Milan.
Alan - Loved that western.
Joao - You need a lawn mower on that hat. You are the best!
1mach1 - Classic.

I'm just in a Red Sox cap today. Driving the kids around to their respective sports et. al. Father's-Day-After.

dh66, Harv, Joao, Miamibruno, Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments on my Black Beast Akubra.

Joao, That is one fuzzy Resistol! It's definitely a neat looking hat! I bet I could cut that brim down and make a real nice fuzzy fedora out of that for you!

Harv, nice score on the Knox. 1930s - '40s?

Thanks Terry! Brad and Alan put it at late 30s.

Is it a new addition to your collection? You are really fortunate...

Nice westerns Richard and Joao!!

Thanks. Your Knox looks really nice for it's age.

Joao - You need a lawn mower on that hat. You are the best!

No I wouldn't do that, it would became a normal hat. I like the way it is. Thank you.

Joao, That is one fuzzy Resistol! It's definitely a neat looking hat! I bet I could cut that brim down and make a real nice fuzzy fedora out of that for you!

I bet you could do, but you wont. I'm not sending it back to the US.
If you really want to make a fedora to me, give me that black stagecoach. I don't see you wearing it anyway.
