What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Homburg Hullabaloo Royal Stetson DeLuxe

Have yourselves a Fantastic Friday

Well played, Rich!! I have a hat that looks suspiciously like it was a St. Regis, EXACTLY like that, but in a fedora block. Love it!

You could be right, and I appreciate the information. But as I mentioned upthread I've done this before and it does appear to be healing as expected, so for now I'll let it. Besides, I'm stubborn and don't like seeing doctors unless I absolutely have to. That might come back to bite me on the backside one of these days, but I'll deal with it when/if the time comes.

Oh, right. To bring this back to the main topic, today was a two-hat day for me. While running errands earlier I wore "Cane's Creations #36", made by Tim Mahovich before he adopted the name Alley Kat Hat Co.. I haven't taken any new photos of this one for a while, so these photos are from 2014:

Rabbit felt in Whiskey with a 1940s-era 1-1/2" Grosgrain ribbon in a color called "Dark Coffee" (according to Tim's vendor). Crown height is 4-3/8" at the pinch and 4" at the rear; brim width is 2-3/4". By far it's my best and most favorite hat; I look forward to the day when I can afford to have Tim make me another hat.

Later in the early evening when I took our dog for his nightly walk I wore my Akubra Campdraft in Taupe Fawn. These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago:

We now return to our regular thread topic, already in progress.

The CD looks good but that AlleyKat or Cane is fantastic and it looks like it belongs on your head.

Happy Groundhog Day.

Beauty Jim, the color of that ribbon really works with that felt.

Ye ol' trusty Premier Vita-Felt for the rainy fry dee.

Have a swell, hullaboorific day, everyone.

Gorgeous Premier Matt, lives up to its name. That rust color with yellow is a great combo

Thanks Charlie, it is a wonderful hat. I should wear it more.

Seems like Friday is a good day for a Homburg Hullabaloo, ending the week with some class. So, the Mallory Ten gets the ride today. Crazy warm for the dead of winter here in Oregon, so the overcoat from yesterday will have to stay home. Love this hat, came to me via @mmbarnes

Thank you ALL for all the kind comments lately! We've all had a lot of fun, eh?!

Classic Dobbs Charlie, and yes the last couple of weeks have seemed a little more spirited.

Thanks Richard. This one is among my top five favorites of my hats.

Great hat.

It has an almost "beigeishj" look from some angles. Is that a true reproduction of the color? It looks fantastic.

I bet it would have been fun to be a fly on the wall and watch them come up with different dye colors back in the day. Stetson's subtle variations are endlessly neat to see.

"beigeishj"

Word of the day!

That Premier Vita-Felt is pretty swell too.

Out this afternoon in a Gannon (moss green with gill ribbon treatment).

Best, Eric -

Thanks Alan. There was a typo, though. It was supposed to be "beigeishy" although I think I may like "beigeishj" more. That has a kind of Middle Eastern feel to it.
Darned fat typing fingers...

Beautiful Mallory, today.
Very appropriate color for the Vikings' Sunday show down.

Hey all!
Lots of Homburgs today. I'm bringing this Mayser to the party.

Have a great day!

Isn't beigeishj the color of baba ghanouj?

There it is. I love everything about that hat

Super blue Hommie Michael

Thanks Richard. That is a great St Regis your are wearing today. There was one of those locally a month or so back. Unfortunately it was in funeral black with black ribbon and binding, and even more unfortunately it was 3 sizes too big for me. Ha ha.

Thanks,
Michael

 

[Frunobulax]

Beauty Jim, the color of that ribbon really works with that felt.

Thanks, Richard. I keep threatening to change the bow to gills, but haven't yet.

Love the brim binding on your hommie.

The color listed on the re-order tag is "Baba Ghanouj," but it looks more like a plain hummus to me. What a coincidence, @moehawk.

Another great MOE Moement, ROCKIN' that Mayserberger!!

Two great looking hats Mr. Z...

The CD looks good but that AlleyKat or Cane is fantastic and it looks like it belongs on your head.

Thank you Gents, and thanks to everyone for the "likes". I'd like to take credit for #36, but Tim @Cane Rod Maker did all of the work. I had a vision of what I wanted, and he somehow sucked that vision out of my head and brought it to life perfectly. The crease is what I call a "soft" C-Crown that could easily be taken for a Teardrop, and the liner is a simple one-color affair that has more of a brownish hue in person than it does in my amateur photos. The sweatband is ridiculously soft, and his hand stitching is incredibly precise.

You can tell I really like this hat, can't you?
