What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[crawlinkingsnake]

Thanks cks! An incorrigable thrift store junkie here. most everything I wear besides socks and skivvies (and ebay hats) is usually from them.

Same here when it comes to thrift stores, garage sales and antique stores. Here's my latest purchase from a local antique store last summer. Even though it's way too small for my gord, still love it. Notice the original owner initials R.W.C. Any idea how old it must be?

Nice boater!
As there is no specific 5th Avenue address(es) on the liner crest, my guess would be late 30's to 40's. But that is just a guess.

I would post this nice boater in the dedicated thread, people who frequent might know more. There are other clues to find, such as any manufacturing tags under the sweat band, the style of Dobbs logo and the construction of the liner material. You will learn a lot from flipping through the Boater Faction thread. Nice pickup!

Tissue weight Portis.

That is a sweet Portis. What model name is it? That is a nice tone of gray also.

Don't know that it has a model name, Red. It's marked as one of their tissue weights & Swansback being water repellent. In some light the gray color almost looks silver & I like it a lot. The bath brought that out of it as it was not noticible before when it was so dusty.

Dualist - made for me by Mr Fawcett from an Optimo Monticristi hat.

Cheers!

Just realized that I have the perfect jacket for today's hat. This lambskin blazer made in Italy by Robrik is of a complementary hue.

Now all I need is a green mask and a Jack Russell terrier.

Powered by happy thoughts

Now that is badass.

Happy Tuesday.

Another springtime stunner of a pretty day finds me under the blue Dobbs Fifteen.

Yippee.

Because sunshine...

Hey... look...

SHEEP!!!

Fletch: "I'm a shepherd."

P.S. Keep the obscene sheep jokes to yourselves.

Sickos...

Mayser Panama I got from Harv last summer for a little porch sitting this evening.

Inspired by these guys

Nice Panama.

When I was younger, my life's ambition was to follow in that first gentleman's footsteps.

Never thirsty... Always a place to lay one's head... Oh, what a life it could have been!

Thanks for reminding me of my broken dreams. [emoji20]

My only solace is that there is still time...
There IS still time...

Not to mention, on Sundays you get Aunt Bee's fried chicken and some pie!

Today, Grandma Anna's Royal Stetson gets the nod.

Praying for sunshine. Doesn't look good.

Sweet color on that Dobbs Matt. It goes well with the jacket, but then, what wouldn't!

Love the bow on this one Jim. The little highlight really sets it off.

Another interesting hat maker. Cool!

While your prospects for sunshine aren't looking too good, Grandma Anna's Royal Stetson looks GREAT.

I love that hat (and its got one of the best backstories ever).

Another beautiful morning here. No complaints from me. 83 grams of Champ Featherweight

Off to run some errands on the bicycle soon. Unfortunately, the Featherweight has proven to be an unreliable bicycling partner due to it's aerodynamics and featherweightiness. Will have to pick a cap to go along.
