What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Michael A]

Cool outfit Michael, that hat looks nice and warm, pretty fur too.

Thanks DD. I still haven't figured out what the fur is.

Incredible!!

I hope that is incredible in a good way. Ha ha. Love your Bantam today and the Patagonia.

Yes! Still my hero...

I figured you would like this one Bob. Everybody needs a Sunday go to hunting suit.

Thanks all,
Michael

Black homburg retailer was Austin Reed. No info on maker other than it’s English.

If this label helps anyone id the maker or era, let me know.

The only clues to the age on the hat itself aren't particularly helpful... The Regent Street store opened in 1911, the sweat is reeded, the liner is unpleated and thread tacked, and the tag hearkens to an antique era... Pardon my vague observations haha

This may help -- an auction for an Austin Reed top hat with the same liner crest dates their hat at ~1920:
https://www.doeandhope.com/products...d-of-regent-street-in-original-card-box-anm21

And this top hat has the same crest as well and they list the date at ~1930:

And another auction on ebay with I think the same crest on the liner lists their piece at ~1920.

We all know how reliable auction listings are... but it's possible you have a pre WWII lid there.

But my hat for today is the St. Regis, later will be something black to scare folks on the Trolley of Terror. I "borrowed" (actually stole the idea) from Ant for a mum flower pedestal!

I love this Regis =) If we're ever i nthe same city, your Regis and my Alessandria need to share a beer.

Nice looking homburg, Richard. I've never seen a label like that before, but the sculpted (don't know if that's the right word) liner points in the direction of T&W Lees of Stockport. It was something they did and I have not seen it done by other English hatters. They did supply retailers like Dunn&Co, so they could have supplied Austin Reed as well. The colour of the sweatband makes me think Lees as well.

It's a beauty, Mike. Lovely hat.

Stetson 4X Open Road. Possibly a 90's vintage.

In between the comments (I am not going back to the point where my computer broke down), I'll post my own hats of today. A three hat day, let's call them try outs.

Dunn&Co homburg, generously provided by Karl (Crow). More on that one later in the homburg nation thread.

second one was part of the hat-swap with Mike (Redfokker). A wonderful Stephen L. Stetson. More on that one too later.

Third one was part of a hat-swap too, this time with Richard (Morgan). Stetson Railbird (and more on that one too later on).

If I do look a little smug in the pictures it's because there were reasons for it (on my head). Great hats, all of them.

Great hat, Bob. What colour is that?

 

[steur]

Good morning. A Gannon in the wild.

Best, Eric -

Always good to see that one, Eric. That bow is something special.

As Robert mentioned, the first day of real cold here in Iowa. Even a bit of white stuff wandering down. Since I have to deliver dvds to the library and I'm thinking bicycling I went with the fur cap again.

It will definitely be ear flaps down for the journey. And I need to find gloves, and maybe a scarf, possibly a sweater. Ha ha.

On the other hand, maybe the Woolrich gear will do it.

Have a great day,
Michael

Great look, Michael. That is an intriguing hat; is there a result on the species yet?

Same doorway, different hat... a Stetson 7X Clear Beaver, which is on sale through midnight tonight in the classifieds.

Great hat, Bob. What colour is that?

Thanks it Silverbelly.

Beautiful colour combination. Wonderful.

It is indeed gorgeous, I took the pic along the orange juice as a way to see the contrast
