What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Hurricane Jack]

You've got some Great Hats Jack ! Have you ever been to Luling ? The Houston side of San Anton ? Several miles .

Michael, thanks for the compliment on my hats but you look pretty sharp yourself in that Cornhill Strat you posted. With all you have on order I look forward to your pictures as your hats come in. In the meantime you can post some of your Westerns; some of us will enjoy those too.

I've never been to Luling, TX. You the mayor?

Thanks HJ ! Only really one western didn't disappear (stepson or his friends , or somebody !) (bums) . No should I run ? : ) Friends lived there for years , I used to go hang out , hit San Marcus , Gruene , etc. , eat Fajitas , and drink Lone Star till the cows came home . Well they were already home when we got there . Just wondering . Drive Friendly ... .

Looking up to (and maybe beyond) par today, Wess!! You always use Lucky Strikes for the look, or would you be open to King Edwards, too?

EDIT: As I typed, Moon typed faster (easy to do). I agree, and that's why the King Edward question.

I thought if you were the mayor of that little town then maybe a bunch of us could come down, Chamuco could come up, & you could convince all the barkeeps that drinks were on the house cause we were the Wild Bunch.

That sounds like a SUPER Idea ! Maybe I should run ! The FL Luling TX Hatothon Super Party ! Chamuco would be just starting when I was long gone . I gave it up long ago . Sounds like a Plan though .

I smoke Camels 90% of the time. I definitely should cut down on smoking, but I rather enjoy it.
Plus it keeps me from physically attacking people ha

I used to smoke Camels , ... Try Pipes , they're cool , taste good , and you don't inhale . Classy (I think) , check out Cary Grant , even Stevie Ray Vaughn was a Pipe Smoker ! Ginger Baker of Cream still is .

I've been out and about all day on a lovely turn of weather.

Doing the Hilhouse thing again, but the forecast is heating up so it looks like the straws will be back out by the end of the week.

I'm off to page back and admire the hat parade.

Thanks for all of the kind words about the Game Bird.

Sadly, it is going to have to spend some quality time on the stretcher to get it just right. It is a 7 and I need a 7 1/4. I sent it to Bob at Black Sheep, with the idea of maybe re-blocking it to upsize it. Unfortunately, I'd lose the original sweat so I got cold feet. I decided that it would be a crime to replace the original parts.

I know that a two size stretch can be a tough proposition, but with lots of patience I had good luck with my C&K homburg that came to me as a 7. So, I've got my fingers crossed.

It looks to me like they had an array of crazy Game Bird colors. While the ad below is from the thirties (while Brad Bowers believes mine to be from the forties), it looks like they had great selection. So Moe, I bet that your mallard colored one is out there waiting for you somewhere.

Well, looks like I'd better get quackin' if I'm gonna find one!
good luck on the 2 size stretch, I've done it before on a 60's Dobbs, ended up popping a couple of stitches on the sweatband seam, but they were already loose before I started.

Yesterday for some yard work, the EC

Today this black Stagecoach

So, I wore my gray fedora today. This was the first iteration of this hat (Orthodox Palm Sunday 2016)....



Later, I removed the hat band and tried to iron it, but the material was too flimsy. Besides, I didn't like the look of the hat band. So, I bought a new one. Here is the result, worn to work today.

Indeed @Wesslyn ditch the cigarette and go get a cigar !!!!

No joke, I used to smoke a lot, quit, changed for 2 cigars a week... Safer, not perfect but healthier !!

A (really) big hat (because of yesterday's Alterie hat)

Please share the crown height and brim width on that hat. It is a great Gus creased hat!
