What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatophile]

I'd like to take the time and thank everyone who wished my Mom a speedy recovery and offered up their thoughts and prayers for her. She should be released from the hospital sometime today to go to a rehab facility to get her up and walking again. With her scrappy attitude and sense of humor she should do very well. Thanks again everyone.

Wearing my 4X Stetson conversion this cool Thursday a.m. The hat was originally given to me by fellow Lounger, Anthony.
I wanted to come up with something resembling Alan Ladd's China hat.

It's nice to see your great conversions again Terry. Glad to hear your Mom is OK. That generation has plenty of gumption.

This is one of the nicest brown Homburgs around. I am so enamored with the color and lines. You did very well.


It looks as blue as the sky in photos, does it have that much light blue in hand? It is one of my faves, makes me want an OR when I see it.

Thanks Red!

Yes. Hate to admit it. I am. I also hate to admit this...
I actually liked them.

a fairly early OR accompanying me to a few antique shops to search for "gems" ...

I'd put this one in the very early 50s and it is made of the felt that we all dream of in a sort of muted sage green that is quite difficult to photograph accurately ... let's hope it brings me some hunting luck

Tonight to work I wore my new (to me) Penman dark moss. This arrived from fellow lounger FedOregon and I couldn't wait. Just had to give it try.

Looks great! Better on you than me, that's for sure!

 

[FedOregon]

Looking good, folks!
Absolutely gorgeous day. Royal Biltmore on top for me.

You look so good, buddy! I love the hat AND the suit!

Started the day in my Hat City Hat Co. work hat. This is kind of a go-to for trips to Home Depot and such. After some steam therapy, my crushed in transit Crofut & Knapp straw was able to see the light of day. The colors are much closer in the outdoor photo this afternoon.

If there ever could be a lucky hat, this one fits the bill in spades. Awsome.

Beautiful day here in Bama y'all. Great display of hats today. Wearing one of my favorites, Stetson Sky Gray RD OR.

Love that, missed it yesterday.

 

[Samuel]

Mike, the last photo is the most accurate of the actual color. More light gray with blue undertones. Certain light really brings out the blue. Thanks, you need to get an OR.



Thanks, Karl.



Thank you, Samuel. We don't get many Picasso references around here. I like it.

Thank you all for the likes and comments.

Funny you you mentioned that. I was thinking the same thing, using an obscure reference to Picasso's blue period, which for many is his best but most melancholy epoch. I love that blue transitional period in his oeuvre he had a vulnerability that was lost in his latter work. Glad you got it though.

Thanks Doug, it is turning out to be hotter than expected today, but I have to wear my Whippet to dinner, getting itchy for felt weather.
