What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatsRme]

Looking snazzy hatsRme! What a cool hat!

Thanks, Bertie! I like your new avatar...

It's a safe bet that we're all solidly behind your boater project, and so I hereby nominate you as the "Promoter of the Boater!!" I haven't found a vintage one in my size, (but do own a newer Rialto) and so must continue to envy the collections of others. Bring 'em on!!

Thanks for carrying that torch, sir.

Nefarious? Thank you so kindly, fellas! Clearly an upgrade from heinous...

To quote a high school teacher of mine, "it's important to have a bad reputation!"

"Who's this guy 'Bruno'?"

"New guy, working Homicide. Came over from Vice."

"Huh. Well, I hope he'll buy lunch now 'n' then. Last Vice transfer we had was so cheap, we said he had low pockets and short arms."

I remember that day. The Germans wore gray. You wore blue. I was in a Gannon.

Pushing it with what? A ten-year pole? I turn 57 next month and you look a decade younger.

I lost 130 pounds a few years ago, but have put about 80 back on. I'd like to drop 50 again and keep it there (I know how ... just need to do it). Where is the weight loss encouragement thread?

I hit the wall at 60 in a couple of weeks. No weight loss stories to report however, maybe in the near future?

That C&K is A-ok, Matte, with great photos, as usual! But your jacket/sport coat is spectacular!!

Thanks for the hat parade folks! Great hats/lids the past week.

Unfortunately it has not been hat wearing weather in my neighborhood.In our on-going Polar Vortex cold spell I have not been wearing a fedora. Caps under a hood have been the norm of late. Today the high should be around -2F.

Here is this mornings cap (Damian Monsavais French cap) in the -8F temps.

It's cold outside. Best, Eric -

Out and about early, my last full day in a sling (although I'll probably get myself in another one somehow...

VS Mohave!

C&K always had some of the most stylish and artistically striking ads...

Neato!

And here's a product of my own oddball jackassery just because...

A very merry Thursday to all!

Great derby Matt, snazzy jacket as well! I really appreciate the Knapp Felt advertisements, they are really cool. I think I'll wear my 1930s Stetson Derby today in solidarity! Its super cold for us in the PNW, 20 degrees on my deck.

A Dobbs tie? Details, please?

+1 pant, pant...

I'm afraid I don't know much about the tie. It caught my eye at a thrift store since the blossoms almost look like dogwood blooms. It's somewhat knot planned, as the upper portion is darker than the wide blade. Between the design and the label I knew I had to buy it.

This is a fantastic tie!! Love the pattern and DOBBS!!! It would go perfectly with all my Dobbs hats. I realize nobody would notice or care in my world, but I would wear it with historic pride!

Penman today.

Wow! Nice looking hat! Impressive.

Thanks Chuck-ee.

I saw the jacket in a thrift store a few days ago. I was immediately reminded of one of our resident masters of fashion, @Michael A . And I thought: "I am gonna follow that bad dude's lead".

So... THANKS @Michael A !!!
You are the man.

Wearing my favorite "everyday wear" hat - the Akubra Stylemaster.

Nice Akubra!

Thanks Mr. T.

I like snow. We are supposed to get upwards of 8 or 9 inches here on Saturday. That's a tremendous rarity for us. It'll be a hoot.

Sadly, very few people know how to drive in it here... Bumper cars.

Be careful out there in Funkytown.

If there is one way to get on my bad side...

I pity da foo' that calls me Mistah T!!

Great looking Fed IV and I love that leather! They go well together.

I could get down with that. I lost 90 lbs a year or so ago and have been working to keep it off.

I can definitely say it changed my life.

That's strictly awesome, Michael! I kept the weight off for about 12 years Then my knees went bad and I had to stop running. But I didn't adjust my intake to match my physical activities. Then I just got lazy... I probably lose about 100 pounds a year. Unfortunately, it's the same 5-10 pounds, over and over!!!

Ain't that the truth.
