What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[rclark]

Cool. Glad to ear it, Rick. How's the fit?

I like this one tons. I keep waiting for Moon to ask for it back.

I used your super secret lampshade technique and it now fits me perfectly! Thanks for the pro tip.

 

[rclark]

YES! Glad you did. Pics?

Hey everyone! Been a while! Over a week of being sick. Lord have mercy.

Same here, Wes. Whatever it is going around I think if must be some form of flu & not just a cold. And I'm scheduled for some OP surgery this Thurs, so right back down I go! Not the same as Charlie recently had, but like Charlie this will be my second rodeo with it so I know exactly what's coming & what to expect.

Good one Rick. Thanks.

Dynamite distraction, Moe! May we see the innards, and a detailed shot across the bow, S.V.P.?

Thanks hatsR!
Here is the post in the Keith Bros. thread.

The tag didn't survive the refurb, and the unreeded sweat is sewn in the best I could, ie. poorly...

That's so awesome that it makes me feel like throwing up. Just super, Moe!!!!

Thanks mmb! I never thought that inspiring vomit would be such a compliment!

 

[moehawk]

I always like seeing that one, moe. The felt looks amazing. And you wear it well!

Thanks Fruno! I only hope I look as nice when I'm pushing 100 years old!

That bow placement, though! So cool!

Thanks bAm!
The original ribbon and bow were rotted, so I first replaced them with what I had, a 1 1/8" ribbon. Before and after here:

Someone mentioned that the original bow, a big sloppy one placed near the back was a fashion trend for a very short time. The more I looked at my first replacement, the more I wanted to put it back closer to how it was made, so I broke down and bought some super sheer wide vintage ribbon. Harder to make a sloppy bow than a sharp neat one!

Yep, I capitulated to temptation, but I'm glad I did. Might be my favorite Campdraft!

I really like mine wear it a lot.


Cheers!

Echter Mayser "Superbe" , date stamped Sept. 17, 1952. This hat is beautifully made.

You can see the triple brim stitching in the photo above.

Superlatives that will adequately express my thoughts about that hat simply do not exist.

Wow...

Hey all!
Lots of nice hats today, as always! Many thanks to everyone for the likes and nice words on my recent posts.
Today, The Tiger Special from the Keith Bros. has the job of trying to draw the focus away from my mug. I believe this one dates to tbe mid teens to the very early twenties.

It is a very special tiger indeed, with thin, dense felt and a wonderful hand. The few moth nibbles don't distract a bit.
Have a great day!

Interesting bow placement. This is a real stunner Moe, sorry for the late post. I've had a day...

Cool. I got the idea from Bob.

Was wondering where you've been. Take care of yourself and good luck with the surgery.

Sorry you have been under the weather, Jack. Good luck with the surgery and have a speedy recovery.

It's all about context, brother.

Gotta play grown-up. Happily, I have another old Vita-Felt homburg to keep me feeling like a kid while I do so.

Happy Tuesday, all!
