What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Short Balding Guy]

A vtg.Stetson Stratoliner was my hat of choice for morning chores. The bigger brimmed Playboy, 2 7/8," is a silverbelly hued felt. I enjoy wearing this hat.

Unfortunately when shoveling out the fire pit this morning I knocked it off my head and it was dirtied in the cold ashes. Not dusty, but soiled. I have the hat cleaning in a white gas bath and will give it a brushing and steam this afternoon when the white gas has evaporated. Should be good to go by early evening.

Vtg. hats are meant to be worn and they are surprisingly durable.

A beauty of a hat Eric and I'm sure you will have it back to it's pristine condition. I have not had any issues removing ash with a naptha dunk. I still worry a bit when I see what hats you wear when doing chores (but I know that I "can't have nice things" and always choose a beater hat when working outside).

Dang WK! That is a grail hat for sure and looks great on you!

Love that Pilgrim Michael! It probably makes the coffee taste that much better.

That hat looks great on you. You look like a Texas rancher.

new arrival, and currently being worn. Taking it up to Virginia City, so I may have to take more photos of it in use. If you haven't heard of Virginia City, I recommend a quick Google search!

Holy moly. That is one of the coolest hats ever!

Stetson temple. Cool and rainy today so this is the perfect hat. Got this on Amazon for $62. Bought it while I was being wheeled out if the hospital. Can't be too careful, the price may go back to normal at any time.

After about 2.5 days of rain, Gordon has moved out and it appears fall has moved in. Low 60s this morning and it's not likely to get much warmer.

Gannon in Moss Green today.

Late to the game with all the festivities today. My wife's aunt turned 80 and they had the birthday party at the Albany Carosel I figured an early century derby was appropriate for an early century (1909 Dentzel) Merry-go-round. The entire operation is run by volunteers, from the carving of animals to selling popcorn. We toured the carving studio to see the new animals in the pipeline. Great fun, no shots of me riding though... The group of 20 family in town came to our house for a BBQ after. Flesh was burned.

Looks like fun. You didn't ride or was all the evidence destroyed?

Day #3 of Gordon's visit to the Ohio Valley, making it feel like Seattle. The rain has been pretty much constant and steady since Friday night.

I always picture rain hats to be dark for some reason. No matter what the weather: it's a great hat, Jim.

Eric -

What is "white gas", Eric? White gasoline? I've heard the term "gasolina blanca" in Mexico. Is it that? I read in another thread about a "naphta bath". Which one is better?
And the hatter I took it to the other day in Mexico City mentioned a "perclorato"... Have you heard of a "perchlorate" bath?
If you use a white gas bath, won't the hat smell of gas even after drying?

You've inspired me, Michael. I will wear mine today, even if I don't plan to leave the house.
It is US Open and new hat brushing, steaming, stretching, and cleaning day. I haven't had time to do it since returning from Wisconsin, and this time I came back with 21 hats again, so it will take a while.

Very soothing work that. Lovely colour on that Penny's, Max.

Casual day. Went to a flea market. Almost bought a leather hat, Native American style. But reatrained myself

Always enjoy a nice heather felt. Nice!

Very nice Perry. I do love the curl of your brims.

Well Eric, this accident is excused. Just don't let it happen again. The same thing could have happened in 1955, the owner would just take it to his local hat shop and have it spiffed up. We have to be the stewards today in the absence of a hat store on every corner.

It will be time for us to dust off our jackets this week, rainy NW weather is finally back. We have had no measurable rain since June! Love the Pilgrim, nice crease!
