What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Redfokker]

Looks great on you Mike. Your collection seems to be growing exponentially at the moment.

Michael

Much to my wife's dismay, but yes and thank you.

A Flagship, man that is nice Moe. Creamy.

Thanks Red!
I feel very lucky to have scored it and for a good price!

Great color Konadog, love the pinch on a Raider.

Good afternoon folks. Early this morning I had to split and carry some wood. My vtg. Stetson Regis royal De Luxe was a perfect companion.

Back to work mid-morning wearing a Gannon Wanderer (blue with charcoal trimmings). I got home and snapped a pic of the blue hat.

Quick change as this late afternoon I am starting to grill a lamb roast in the windy, brisk weather wearing a Gannon Wanderer (charcoal felt and ribbon).

You are invited for roasted lamb and the fixing this evening. Best, Eric -

Your daily parade of hats never ceases to amaze me. In a world were most shlubs splitting wood wear a NASCAR baseball cap, you are a beacon of class Eric.

Headed to the theatre tonight. Big old Dobbs Twenty hommy adorns my head.
Forgive the taco bell bathroom picture.
Perhaps I'll have a more appropriate setting later...

You are such a classy guy Wes. Love the Homburg, and that setting for such a portrait, impressive.

Digging that sweater

Thanks Wesslyn. The sweater is completely lacking in labeling. I believe it's an alpaca and acrylic blend, probably machine knit, but hand finished according to a hand knitter I know.

Great looking suit Michael. The color is so bright and summer like. Great finish on that Mallory velour.

Thanks Red. It's always fun to throw that Mallory on. The suit is a Levi Action Man model. Something polyester that should be suitable for spring wear. I picked it up on the very cheap, mostly because I wanted an example of the shape of the lower patch pockets.
I really liked you homburg look today.

Some serious styling going on there tonight Wesslyn. Are you going to the theatre as audience or performer?

Nice sunny crisp day.
Love this hat!

Later in the day... had to go to a funeral [emoji17]. '30s Dobbs...

And still later... Stetson Vita-Felt for an evening drive with the family...

On that drive, we pulled off to watch storms along the cold front that was crossing over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Beautiful display...

Busy day.

Wow... a beautiful page of photographs from Europe and from our west coast. The Mallory homburg and Stetson Flagship look great. Christina and Celia, you add such style to our thread. A pleasure to see you all.

I usually take a vacation from shaving and from taking hat photos over the weekend. But I am inspired by the renaissance of the homburg here. This hat was manufactured by Hat Corporation of America in the 1940s for Jack Henry in Kansas City. Jack Henry closed its doors in 2014 after more than 80 years in business. The Country Club Plaza opened in 1922 with a design inspired by Seville architecture. It is considered to be the first shopping plaza in the world designed for patrons arriving by automobile.

cheers!

Forgot to ask in my earlier post, Alan... How did you learn that it was manufactured by HatCo?

I ask because I am trying to figure out the manufacturer of my Garfinckel's homburg and can always use some pointers.
Thanks.

 

[T Jones]

Love it! Crown in the clouds TJ.

Thanks, buddy. I just finished up another Stagecoach conversion, btw. It's the same dimensions as the brown one except it's Silverbelly and I put a thin ribbon on it. I'll post pictures of it tomorrow.

Hi Matt... The hat has only one clue. The seller thought the hat was made by Stetson (I believe it was advertised as such) but the label behind the sweatband is a 1940s HCA manufacturing tag. Brad has a very nice summary of HCA tags on his website:

Great hat and great look overall today. Looks like it was a bit nicer there today than it was here.

Michael

It was a beautiful day, Michael, but now it's starting to turn cold again.
