What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[drmaxtejeda]

Ha! Definitely a good reason for making your own hats! I gave up trying to find vintage Strats, Whippets, Playboys, Wanderers, etc.... I just don't have that kind of money. Buying hat tools and materials is also proving to be out of my reach these days. I'm wanting to build hats from scratch but trying to find felt bodies is proving difficult. Winchester won't sell to individuals and FEPSA hasn't answered my emails. I'm probably going to give up that venture too.

Maybe a true gentleman hat maker with a kind soul, with the initials AF would be willing to let you purchase a felt or two?

AF's a good guy. I have to say, and he probably doesn't realize it, but a little of his influence goes into my conversions.

Certainly worthy of emulation, in several ways.

This morning I changed to "city attire" to meet up with friends at a local coffee shop. I was sport'n a Vtg. Stetson Bantam, vtg. tie and some vtg. spade shoes.

Home this afternoon to prepare some lunch in the rain. I switched to a Mallory for grilling is that the Stetson could dry on a wooden hat block.

Early this evening I was out at a local club listening to acoustic blues. I gifted some of my hats to my guitarist friend as I have been tiring of his frequent use of the tapered crown modern Stetson Whippet.

I changed my hat- vtg.Mallory in an inky blue felt hue, tie - to another vtg. tie and shoes to a pair of modern Alden gunboats.

Best, Eric -

Eric, NOBODY does the blues like yous!
A pleasure to enjoy with you.

Late news flash!!

Seen on the streets (more in the AC) of Hanover, NH, two vastly different forms of straw fedoras. Here we have Alan (left) with a magnificent vintage parabuntal, and Charlie, sporting an early Art Fawcett Milan.

We were lucky enough to pull off a lunch together today, and there just wasn't enough time to cover all the topics on the agenda. Next year, @Alan!

Wonderful!

You guys never disappoint with all the fine hats. I ate some bad bulk food nuts from the local grocery yesterday, so haven't been wearing hats since about 2pm Saturday. Violent vomiting and my sides hurt from it. Feeling better now, but have to head in to work at 4 am Monday for an audit of about 4,000 firearms. Not looking forward to it, but they're depending on me. Funny how you try to scale back and be semi-retired, take a pay cut of at least 50% in pay and benefits, and in some ways your responsibilities increase.

In the morning I wore a Stetson Parabuntal. A sweet, extremely lightweight hat for a sunny day.

Hey Tuk:
Food poisoning is something you never forget. I’ve had it twice and i remember exactly what hat i was wearing.
Porcelain!!
You have my sincere sympathies!!
Get well soon.
Sweet Parabuntal

An older Stetson St. Regis in gray c1945 today for church. Early 1950s vintage tie as well. It was church lady hat day, lots of cool old vintage women's hats in the service this morning. Felt that this old homburg fit right in. View attachment 125032 View attachment 125033 View attachment 125034 View attachment 125035

hmmpphh! If I owned fine suits and had the fashion sense to dress well, I would look good in a Homburg too, Red.

My wife makes fun of me for wearing a hat while in pajamas. I tell her to mind her own business.

Wow! You pull off the 50s look very well. A stunning hat and ensemble, Red. Reminds me very much of my grandfather in the day. Oregon needs more Beau Brummells, keep at it

My newest Art Fawcett this morning for services. The brim is 3 1/4" which is a little wider than I normally wear but I like it. Also the only really vented hat I have. Interesting feeling wearing a hat but still feeling the breeze.

Lucky enough to ride 20 miles on the old Oregon Trail today. Only hit the mid '80s but man, gotta tell you, some mighty bleak country.

Love everything about this Falcon Park Jeff. It is a proper black cherry and not that too dark version Winchester is making today.

What a great picture! Two great straws on top of two great Loungers!

I told Art I had to have it for the 4th. We are going to the "Concert is The Gardens" to see/hear the Fort Worth Symphony and fireworks. This is the hat I plan to wear.

Happy Canada day everyone. Took the family to Jurassic world.

Oh Doug, so sorry to hear about the innards distress. Love that Stetson, is it new to you? My kind of lines.

Pretty Spiffy, Red. That Royal Deluxe St. Regis is one classic beauty. The prototypical American made homburg.

Thanks D. It is an interesting comparison between the overall look of an American Homburg vs something like my Borsalinos or Germans. I should do a side by side photo shoot...

I would just like to follow you around on days like this just to see your hats in their natural habitat!

Thanks Mondo, I really would like to find some true vintage suits from the 40s/50s. They are rare and expensive in my size. I can find ties and hats in my size though.
