What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[AbbaDatDeHat]

Errands, cleaning hats and recovery from the holiday weekend. All in a Hawaiian shirt and my seemingly go-to Panama/Cuenca, custom made by Mike Miller at NW Hat Company.

Hotel is booked for the Montecristi trip in Dec/Jan. Gonna try and score some nice hats/hat bodies again, only this time in coastal MC instead of the mountains of Cuenca.

Sweet straw! Takin orders??

I can look for you when we're there. Send me a PM to remind me of size, LO options, etc... and what you're looking for.

I know you've posted this before, but it looks so much more impressive when it's up on top of your noggin'! Super nice!

Nice catch.

Great 2-hat day! Love the color on that Cambridge!

Thanks, Doug. When digging through your pile of hats the best hats turn up sometimes: this was one of them!

Very showy for the morning. Those feathers really catch the eye. I wonder what species produced them?


Opale is such a nice color for a homburg. Nice change from rich browns. The Lees is a worthy keeper. You are going to have to re-introduce these "finds" to us.

Thanks, Mike. I've been rummaging through my hats all day today. All set to list a few in the classifieds (more than a few actually). I did come across hats that I almost forgot about, which is both nice and kind of worrying.

Good find, that is cool. The color looks good.

Those two make up for the day off. Both fantastic looking. Great color on the Lees

I would concur.

Thanks Doug. It's from the school of stiff brim, soft crown westerns. Decent felt, but not up to the quality of my early '50s 3X models. I'd consider doing a conversion on it, if I wasn't too lazy to consider doing anything.

Thanks Red. I'm guessing harlequin bird.

Thanks all,
Michael

Thanks, Michael. The blues T&W Lees produced were very good: not too dark and not too light. A touch lighter than the Borsalino Mirtillo colour. Mike has another one of their hats in blue of course.

Thanks Stefan:
Ha yeah, i pointed that out. I think they are starting a “Nutria Rescue” support group or something. You should have seen their faces when the saw the 35 lb zoo images. Wish i’d had my camera but was busy ODing on Chinese.
Never tell the truth if asked the question “what is a Nutria”. Tell em it’s a llama type thing or something. Ha Think they wanted me to move my hat!!
Then again beavers ain’t exactly beautiful. Lol

Show them this image; my guess is that it will temper the rescue mission somewhat

He seems to be hatching on a plan to get hold of that hat, Johnny. Can't blame him for that!

Here, I'll help: A cubit is about 17.5."



Dude, you know I have very little willpower. Setting me up with a straight line like that.

Go on then: get it out of your system

Wearing one of my conversions this Labor Day. Stagecoach Longhair conversion in Chestnut...Tall straight crown, wide brim and a contrasting 6 ply mid ribbon with just the keeper.

Gorgeous, Terry. Great colour and texture. That ribbon is the icing on the cake.

Not what I'm wearing today, just throwing together stuff to kill time, and to see what I can come up with. Thought I'd share it with y'all

-1920s Stetson "Select Quality"
-1920s Sheuerman Coat
-1940s Kuppenheimer suit coat
-1920s inspired shirt I had made years ago

Fantastic top to bottom (I'm taking a guess the shoes are fine too).

 

[Miamibruno]

If @Miamibruno is back in the mines, I gotta post today!

Panama Hats Direct fino fino, with their #6 (or was it #9?) ribbon. Art Fawcett replaced the sweatband, using one without a dichromate content...

That's one good lookin' hat. Glad to see your mug.

Got my favorite Summer hat on to go to a BBQ. No straw after Labor Day?

Excellent hat, Adrian. I just added a featherweight to the collection: great hat.
