What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[T Jones]

I have to agree, that color just doesn't go with the John Wayne mug.

Then the hat has to go. Can't part with the Duke.

That is a nice hat and knowingly the history is very neat.

Thanks Steven!

 

[T Jones]

Are you talking about the mug he's holding our are you saying he looks like John Wayne?

He obviously meant that the Duke and I could have passed for twins.

So, last night a late trip to the woods with the dog.
1940s Stetson Deluxe, my hand-me-down (Father-in-law's) trenchcoat.

An old Borsalino I purchased and gave to my dad many years ago. It's a little small for me but with a gentle stretch I can wear it. From the Zlateff Bulgarian collection that is purported to have been made in the 1930s and kept in storage during WWII. Not sure this is true, but it is an earlier hat. A very fine velour that could be a cousin to another velour Columbo I purchased more recently.

Wow. The man could wear a hat. You're right, he had a terrific way of owning that lid... the original Friedman Front!? Great photo of a great man wearing a great hat.

1900s velour
prized example for me, due to it being sold in nevada

Quite a prize Justin. Super fluffy!

Echt Velour "Quality Velour Seal" probably mid to late 1930s and a recent arrival.

Love that color!

If you only had one hat...this would be just right. Keep showing it to us.

Such a legacy hat Alan. Wear it with honor.

Greetings Justin et al:
Stellar hat Sir, so old and bold. It reminds me of a black bear in the sunshine, or your pup. Nice pup there.
Be well. Bowen

Ha! I just finished watching an old noir classic that I recorded from TCM a few days ago, The Asphalt Jungle. You got the look!

You're welcome, buddy!
