What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[steur]

Thanks Stefan!
I just rubbed the oil into the straw of the brim with my fingers. The crown wasn't stiff and dry, so I left it alone. The difference in the pliability was almost immediate. The straw quickly absorbed the small amount I first applied (about 1/4 teaspoon) so I applied about the same amount several hours later, paying attention to getting the woven edge.
The unsettling creaking sensation it gave when bending down the brim is gone, as is the cardboard-like feel and "thonk" as the brim snapped into place. It now seems to have all it's vitality restored.

John, thanks. It's a great tip. Gotta try it sometime. I am very interested in the art of luring hats; it's not something I can find much information about, but seems to have been a vital part of hatmaking.

An old companion, workhorse of a hat, 1900s No.1

Wonderful, Justin. Great shape and lovely brim curl.

Thanks Stefan!
It is a homburg, one that I made the mistake of trying to iron the curl out of.
I put the curl back in with a flange I bought later. It didn't have as pronounced of a curve and curl as some of my burgs, that's why I thought I could get away with it. Turned out the exposed brim stitching and the line of darker felt formerly hidden from the sun was unappealing to me.

Frankenburg?

Late arrival. Maybe my first "vintage" hat. A 4X (whatever that means) Champ. Came to me rough as a cob. Rookie buyer. The seller closed their ebay account on the day of its arrival. Buy and learn. It's become my go to "work" hat.

Still looks nice, Greg. And we all need our work hats.

You look like you're ready for business allright!

Great one, Rick! I'm wearing a "Ten" today also.

And the Premier I'm wearing is also a "Ten."

Coupla Selentino Queens and we'd have a full house.

I thought this Stetson was blue...... next to a blue shirt it's more of a green ! Do I change my shirt or find another hat to wear? Or just say who cares...Option three it is!

Always go for another hat (a new one that is)!

That's a fine looking lid, steur.

Thanks, Terry. Much appreciated!

Very fine Mayser Stefan. I like the lines and color.

Thanks, Mike. I do have a soft spot for these chamois and wildleder finishes.

My godfather passed away so a black hat.

Sorry to hear that, Joao.

Superb hat, Robert.

Thanks for all of the "be well!" wishes yesterday. Whatever I got... it ain't flu. I still feel crummy, but it could be exponentially crummier.

And we have some snow. It's not the sticking kind. But any of what Jim calls the White Death is better than none at all.

Pilgrim.
Relying on its Cushion Comfort and the snow to make me feel betterer.

Happy Tuesday.

Don't know about you, but that hat made me feel better right away!

Another very chilly morning and this Portis was calling to me

It's in rough shape, but I love it anyway. I think it may be my oldest hat outside of my derbies.

You wear it well, Michael! But then you wear everything well.

That's a great look, Bob. That hat looks good brim up and a great coat too!

Some super hats as always friends.Thanks.
My first picture post on WHAYWT. So be gentle. Ha.
Been playing with creases on this Vita-Felt Strat. I actually fired up the steamer. Sure makes a difference!! Duhh.
Be well. Bowen

Very nice looking hat, Bowen. Unsure about that crease though.

Started the day with a trip to the cobbler. I wore a Gannon.

Picked up shoes and espresso.

Wind is now gusting (over 35mph) and I swtiched to a wool cap.

Stopped for a lunch of lobster/corn chowder.

Best, Eric -

Fantastic, Eric. If I have to choose I'd go for the hat though.
