What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[steur]

That is a super color, Red. Great.

Thanks Red. Earflaps down mode was the ticket today. I was very comfortable on my hour long bike ride in that outfit.

That's a great quartet of hats to catch up with Stefan. All were great, but I am particularly keen on the homburgs. I need more 'burgs, and more heathers.

Wowser Bob. That hat is aptly named. Should be the Really Special.

Thanks, Michael. You know it made me wonder there for a second if I have a heather homburg. And I do (thank goodness). Here they are:

borsalino lobbia

Wilson homburg

Every one a beauty Stefan. Glad to see that Seton Hall looking so good.

Thanks, Mike. The Seton Hall and I get along very very well. Great hat.

All look great but I really like the colors on the Seton Hall.

Thanks, John. That is indeed a very nice looking hat. Mike found that one for me and I'm well pleased with it.

Thanks Stefan! I was envying your Homburgs today and wondering if you run across anything in 7-1/2 LO or 7-5/8 and if I had anything to trade...



Thanks Harv! Wonderful Weis today!



Thanks Michael! I liked that 3X Stetson, but loved the tunic!



Thanks Scott! I bet I can guess which hat you were still wearing today. Also ... really enjoyed the guns you shared in that thread.



Thanks Mike! Loved the blue Lees of London ... especially the "boudoir" liner.

I'll keep an eye out, Bob. Long ovals are not something I have ever found over here in any size, but a 7 5/8 is not unheard of (but rare).

Great looking hat. Wondering if you could post a few more pics, please? Interested in seeing the crown, inside and out.
Also, what’s it feel like?
Much appreciated.

I like the Stetsonian and I’m bummed that it has been discontinued. The felt is stiffer than my Premier Stratoliners, but it is in no way cardboard in feel like some of my Akubras. The felt is substantial and best for cooler temperatures; this is not a lightweight hat. The hat does has great proportions and I wish I could have one in the Excellent grade.

Additional photos as requested:

They’re getting hard to find so if you want one you had better get one now. I got mine a JJ’s when they had a 25% off sale.

I like the tawny color, but the nap of the felt causes it to look discolored in certain light and from certain angles.

I’m always glad to answer questions if you have additional.

Great group of hats Stefan, I think the Topo is my favorite of this bunch

Thank you, Richard. That is something special alright. Still need to post that in the brotherhood thread.

The top shot shows the great proportions of this hat well. The outfit is outstanding, Michael.

A number 1 indeed, Bill. Looks great.

Finished my paper late last night, now for a trip up to campus in Portland (OR).
Today, we will continue the European Tour of hat by staying in England. Stockport, England to be exact. A Battersby Homburg from the late 40s to early 50s. Black, super soft felt for a "hommie".

Good for you for finishing the paper, Mike. And good to see the Battersby in action.

A fine collection, Stefan!

Thanks, Michael, And they do!

Another early soft hat from the century club - with a Stetson mark that I have not seen on another survivor from the era. The early silver foil store imprint is very nice on this hat - I've found it flaked off in other old hats.

Mullen & Bluett in 1911, the era when this hat was sold.

Superlative, Alan. Not all black hats are created equal and this one proves it.

Hey everyone!
This thoroughly beaten (and partially eaten) Royal Stetson DeLuxe Vita-Felt Process Wafer Edge. With gills.

Have a great day!

Powered by happy thoughts

It may be partially eaten, but it still has presence in spades!
