What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Nice work, John. You got that hat a long way to where you wanted it!

Thanks Stefan!

Haven't commented on every hat, even though all were great and deserving. O well. I think this was thursday, but it was a bit busy this week. Barbisio ratiné. Wool felt, but a great little hat just the same.

Great little Barbisio. It goes so well with that overcoat. The brim binding seems nice.

I don't know which to put on my wish list first: the Game Bird or the Jiffy steamer!

Both!

Now there's something I haven't seen before. That is quite the hat you have there, Michael. Not for everyday wear, maybe, but certainly a great piece. Fits the rest of the wonderful outfit too (but I wouldn't expect anything else from you).

Thanks steur. It's the only one I've seen. I'm liking it for it's original out and about in the country uses.

Great looking wool felt. Better than some of my fur felts I would say. Make that many of, haha. Looks like a great accompanying outfit too.

Thanks,
Michael

I'd go with the Jiffy. They're easier to find.

Thank you for this Jack. My western hat knowledge is sadly lacking. Not my style exactly, but love the creases.

View attachment 102049 my Moonstone Akubra Stylemaster arrived in the mail from Australia Friday afternoon.

Very nice. Musher like in Alaska? Love the moonstone color.

Stetson Nutria Quality. From the bay a couple of weeks ago. Looked like silver belly from the seller’s pics. Turned out to this pleasant brown after cleaning.

Liner is long lost which is a disappointment

Great catch. Those elusive nutrias do move quickly. I like the color.

This is a wonderful hat John. I am still enjoying seeing it regularly.

Stetson Nutria Quality.

Congrats on the Nutria! I'd love it for this store logo alone (not that anyone sees it, but I like knowing it's there).

Beautiful day in the Northwest. Brent OR Clone refurb whip stitch will see the light of day. Great hats worn by all this fine day.

Lotta great stuff this cold a.m.

I just finished a redo on this vintage Bradford. I didn't like the block shape when I did the first conversion. This second time around I took it apart again and redid it on a different but straight sided block. This second redo came out much better. Not quite the actual Stratoliner that I've always wanted but my version from a hat of the same vintage era is good enough for now. I'll have more pics in the Conversion Corral when the ol' back gets a little better and I can sit longer...

Nice tall crown with a 2 3/4 brim. I put a little more rake on it this time around. 4 3/4 at the pinch with a rake sloping to 4 inches in the back.

The felt is just phenomenal on this hat

Some Johnny Cash. The Sun years. Luther Perkins on the Fender Esquire.

Gorgeous Terry. Love those straight crowns. Here's hoping the back is mending well.

Thank you, Red. The ol' back is healing slow but I'm getting there. I'm on my second round of steroids. Hopefully this takes care of it.

Great rebuild TJ, I just got got a Bradford 7X (whatever that means) but not sure what to do with it. Your crease may be the inspiration I need for it.

 

[Richard Morgan]

very nice

Thank you sir

 

[Richard Morgan]

Nice pickup,congrats.

Thanks Bob, the seller pics were so bad I probably should not have bid but I got lucky.

Thank you Richard. Much appreciated. That's the same as mine, 7X. I'm at a loss too as to what that meant in Bradford talk. I do like them, though.

If you like the crease I did then I'd be honored if it inspires you to do the same to yours.
