What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Jeonsah]

I don’t know what I’m wearing today but I like it. Old family hat I posted about trying to identify in another thread. Something from Rome late 40s/early 50s I suspect .

Out for dinner last night in my Akubra Capricorn.

Yours is nice but I LOVE that hat she is wearing! Sure looks great on her too......our wives are supposed to outshine us, and Etsuko certainly does here.

Building humidity brings the straws back out; a Shantung Stetson 10X in Toast.

Good to hear from you, Max, even if you're on your way out.

So what's to become of your hat storage safes?

Hmmm... sell them to a warlord wirh lots or weapons?

In the 70’s a 3X Western would have sold for around $30. At $63.50 I think you might be off by a decade, maybe post- Urban Cowboy era.

In 1978 I bought a Stetson 3X from Miller Stockman in Denver. I paid $53, if that helps.

With the obvious caveat that no guy wants to be called cute, I feel obligated to point out that you two are pretty adorable together. Living as an ex-pat in Japan seems like a fairy tale to me lol. I’d love to hear the back story on how this came about someday - assuming there is an internet-friendly version available.

Great hats as always.

I’ve been called much worse, so thank you!
The back story has actually appeared on this very thread.

I don’t think I ever got around to part 2.

myspace style selfie with a new-to-me Dobbs. Aside from the (plastic??) sweatband, a new favorite.

L. B. Hats "Prima Original", Czechoslovakia possibly 1930s. This is Wool Homburg with a tall Crown and with a pliable Taupe color Wool Felt and the contrasting Band and Briming colors work very well together. I found this Homburg back in 2019.

L B Hats was owned by A. und J. Löw-Beers Söhne Elisenthal (Post Brünnlitz) Czechoslovakia. They were Wool producers and also made Men's and Women's Wool Felt Hats and Wool Stumps. I found this by accident when I was looking through the December 20, 1930 addition of Österreich Hutmache Zeitung.
