What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Frunobulax]

A much delayed trip to our favorite Hatter in Eugene today... I have not been able to drive long trips due to my back surgery, so a beautiful Ecuadorian straw has been waiting to be picked up. Now it will have to wait until spring for it's debut. Wearing my early 1950s Borsalino Featherweight (Via @moontheloon) for some show and tell with Mike Miller. Looking forward to the trip.
Yesterday was both disappointing and a relief of stress. The pins in my hand need more time to knit the fracture. There was some shattering of the bone, so I guess that is the reason. So I'm all trussed up until the 30th. Since they were just going to yank them out, I was kind of dreading this appointment.

Cool featherweight. Get better!

Mayser again today (you can check: it's a different picture)

Great Mayser, Stefan. Wish I had one like that in my collection. Wonderful match too with the collar of your coat, tie, scarf, strap of your bag, and even the bricks on the wall. Super photo.

I'm beginning to dig some hats out from summer hibernation now that the weather is cooler. I've really missed being able to wear them.

Case in point:

Originally sold in the early 1960s Sheridan, WY (population 11,651 - sa-lute!)

Thank you, Steve. Appreciate it. You know I'm always on the lookout and another hunt is in the works.

A hat that makes me smile on a rainy day. One hundred years old with tons of righteous wear - stains, nibbles, a sweatband that was secured with stitches only a monster could love... and a ribbon that is, well, original, if not original. It feels really good on and makes me daydream about all the places it's been.

Oh my! That is one super Western, flying carpet, back to the future hat, Alan. The fact that it has been worn, loved, and shows its battle scars, and yet is still standing is a testament to its quality and beauty. Nicely worn too, sir [emoji145].

Thank you Steve and Bowen and Jim. This hat was discovered by Justin, from whom I purchased it.

Cudos to Justin. Wish I had his Tardis.

Great colour, shape, ribbon, brim, and bash. The autumnal lighting was the perfect choice to highlight the qualies of that Gannon, Greg.

Wasn't that a Silverbelly until the BBQ accident?

Thank you, sir!

A Stetson, Dobbs, and a Mayser. Randy, what a trio.

Thank you, Sefan. Yes, I've found that the unlined hats extend the felt season and, for me, they seem to be a little bit easier to travel with too.

Great parade of hats, Randy! I like these unlined hats more and more. No frills: it's all about the felt and the shape.

Very nice, Greg! You even have a little ribbon showing on that one. Gannon does make great hat.

Wet waxed cap Wednesday. We haven’t had a soaker in a while.

Well, last night I stayed up late working on hats ... on a work day night! Payed for it today.
I’m converting a black Resistol western into either an Indie or more likely a fedora/Western blend. Cut the brim down, did a Roy Rogers shower reshape and now I have to sew on a black two inch ribbon and bow.
I also showered a Seventies ten X Stetson OR and put in a diamond crease. Man! Those late model cattleman’s creases are
Dang near impossible to turn, But finally got this steer to heal over!

Here’s a Champ fedora I wore today that I changed the ribbon on. The old one was thin, worn, sweat stained... and ugly. This new one inch ribbon and bow looks much nicer. I think it’s a sixties model.

Tonight I’m going to bed early. I’m tired.[emoji16]
