What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Very cool Strat! Rare to see one with a wind trolley! Is it a Royal DeLuxe Stetson or Royal Stetson? @Strapped-4-Cache

Just a lowly Royal Stetson. It shows its age and definitely has that 'lived in' character, but it wears well.

Hey Blue. This has a minty green color to it. Shows up better under clear skies, but it's always kind of tough for the camera to pick up its subtleties. I'd say this photo best captures it... but even there, there is too much "bluishness" than in reality. View attachment 61912

Take it easy.

Amendment: here are another couple that capture it a bit better I think...

Ah, roger that --- Thought it was more on the bluish side. Looks fantastic.

Thanks Daniele. And I agree about Mallory, though no amount of work I do will rescue if from the moth holes. It's my test bed for hat torturing.



I think it was that picture from a couple of weeks ago that made me ask today.

I've moved on to my second hat of the day. Cap actually,

An old newsboy of unknown parentage, but it was at least conceived in a union shop. It has a bit of insulation in it and most importantly today,

earflaps.
You may notice that I added another layer to my top half as well as a scarf and gloves. Now I think I'm ready to face the bitter wind.

Jealous of that Norfolk! I love the dark color. Pairs nicely with that newsboy cap. All you need is a razor blade sewn into the brim and you could be a hitman from Peaky Blinders =)

Wearing my new custom Penman into the office this morning. Pic is from last Saturday before checking out the local Goodwill store for orphan hats needing a good home.

My office is big, very spacious inside, which means while the heating system is blowing I get too hot, but in between times my corner of the office gets chilly. Being too lazy to stand up and grab my jacket, I just put my hat on to keep away the chill.

Resistol San Antonio and Dan Post. After years of "minamalist" footwear I feel like I'm just learning to walk.

Just another Nut job here...

Wow back at you!

Found my old man made Ushanka from 2001 when I moved to Edmonton. Not nearly as warm as the real rabbit fir but last year the rabbit tore when I flipped the ear flaps down so I think I will have to baby it until I can afford to buy a replacement.

I still think of David Lister from Red Dwarf when I wear one of these.

I like it Bob! That minimalist footwear can cause you to end up wearing EE's.

Thanks Jack! Spreading out to EE might make my Red Wings fit better.

it is just not as warm as the natural fibers. The big thing is its lined with nylon type of material that cuts the wind. Much better than any tuque I have ever owned.

Nice stitching and toe points are just right.

Fur combined with that design is a tough combo to beat when it's cold and windy. And I imagine you see quite a bit of cold and wind at about this time of the year.

Incredible look, Michael. LOVE the shoes! YES!

Thanks 101. The shoes are England made Dr Martens. Little pulleys in the lacers, never seen anything like it. They work incredibly well.

How do you know there isn't one already there? Actually, I've not seen that show. I see my library has the first season, but one copy is out with a hold after and the other is in for repairs. I'll have to see if I can get it before Xmas.
The Norfolk, which I've wanted for a long time, but just picked up yesterday, is a J Peterman if you are inclined to look for one.

brim is a bit wonky and the crown tapers quite a bit more than I like
also the binding and ribbon seem to have been applied carelessly
