What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Excellent contributions fellows.

Late evening here in Minnesota. I had the opportunity to listen to Tim Sparks and Phil Heywood play acoustic guitars at the Aster Cafe in downtown Minneapolis this evening. World class acoustic guitarists, dynamite food with family and friends. Great time.

VS Wanderer (granite colored felt) with a Pendleton Jacket.

Good night, Eric -

Stetson Bantam

Love the combo, Harv! Terrific coat and tie!! Oh, sharp hat, too. :thumb:

You look like someone out of "The Music Man" or "Hello, Dolly".

Wow! Stellar weekend, fellas! Harv's Bantam, g.durand's VS Silvermist, Moe's Resistol, TJ's Westlite. So many others. A great parade of hats yesterday.

Heading down to the Ol' Ball Orchard yesterday to catch some Minor League action (the hometown boys didn't do so good, alas), in my Stetson Premier Milan. Stopped in at my local hatter, Brim on Fifth, Saturday night and replaced the pug it came with which was, kinda dull in my opinion.



This morning, temps have dropped to the sixties to make way for a rather boisterous storm that came through. Expecting a little more rain, so Felt Time.

Stetson Premier Milan. This was on the Classified's thread for quite a while (I'm surprised it never got snatched up), because it was too small (7 1/8), and I wanted to keep the original sweatband. So, I decided to finally convert it from a pork-pie to a more traditional fedora with a light stretch for a snug fit. It sits a touch high, but just right. I'll probably do a "before/after" post in the Conversion thread.

Anyway, I wore it this morning at the bus stop to see my daughter off to school. They're starting so early now; growing up, my schools didn't start until early September.

Dobbs 707 in taupe today. Figured I'd attempt a pic outside to capture the color a bit better. Still failed.

Thank you sir! :yo:

Nice hat, Strapped. The 707 was a favorite of mine when I first started buying fedoras. Try a different backdrop to reveal and enhance the color.

Try something with a neutral color. It blends in with the stone in your current pic. Your shirt might also be working against it. Your camera is auto-adjusting the white balance as a result of the high contrast.

+1... modern dimensions done right.

Amidst a very ample collection of great weekend photos, a call out to New Jack for putting it all together with great style.

Superb straw, Alan. I really like the open weave. Was it already flanged like that, as well?

Thank you both... yes it came like this. The brim is very flexible - I don't know if it was intended to have the upward cup, likely not, but it is very much committed to it now. This hat is from the late 1930s-1940.

I decided to switch from the Stetson Milan to a deep blue Dobbs Fifteen homburg. This hat is hard to photograph, it's so dark...
