What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Héctor Fernández]

My hats made it back after sitting on my hatter's bench a good year. Happy days. Reason to start wearing them one by one.
But first one I changed the ribbon on myself.
St. George Cappellificio Monzese

Both are woolfelt hats. They could be done right by the capable hatters of yesteryear.

Two beauties Sir! They look great on you.

Everything about that one is classic, Cuz! Any more info on that jacket around here? Seriously admiring that blanket lining.

Thanks, as always, Cuz. That jacket is the only one I've ever posted 'over yonder' in the denim jacket thread. Lucked out a couple of years ago on this NOS Polo/Ralph Lauren Authentic Dungarees one. It's a Lee Storm Rider clone with selvedge denim and fits like a custom. The Authentic Dungarees line and Polo Western merged into RRL at some point .

Good looking hat Bob! The vents add to the look, along with the pug. Beaver Brand seems to have made a lot of hats for other vendors.

Cool hat Bob. I like the venting.

That is a cool one. Like the vents and the ribbon.

Nice find, Bob. The vents are cool....in more ways than one.

Thanks fellas! I went for it after hearing good things about the one @Wyldkarma has.

7 5/8 LO, Bob?
Or are you faking it?
Looking good either way.

Thanks Steve. The black O/R is a tight 7-1/2, so I am faking it a bit. Thankfully the sweat seam stitches were already popped.

I like it a lot! I'm a sucker for short brim fedoras. I'll say 50% of my vintage stock is short brimmed hats.

It looks great and a gorgeous combination with the jacket.

Thanks, Randy. I traded it with Richard Morgan, whom we haven't seen for quite a while around here. It is a small size, but I managed to nudge it towards fitting me.

The infamous nudge.

"Bellona" Back Bow possibly late 1920s. No company mark but definitely a German made Wool Soft Felt Hat. I have (Stefan has a couple too) a few Wool Soft Felt Hats from this source (similar paper labels) but can't figure out the company that made them.

Great presence in that one, Steve.

Very nice, Alan.
But where might be ye'r pot of gold?

 

[Hat and Rehat]

Furry Bacon! That just doesn't sound right. This was a gift from Bowen, and in this case, I like furry Bacon!

Bowen did you well.
I see you're bundled up.
55 degrees?
Brrrrrrrr!

I wear some 7s that way. 7 3/8s with a broken reed fit too.

Wearin’ my new Dobbs Fifteen Guild Edge today. Got it from eBay. Unbelievable that no one bid on it, and I’m not complaining.
A 55 model so says the tag, If I’m reading it right. The hat body is so soft, yet sturdy. Best body I’ve ever held (and have several older Dobbs) other than a certain hot brunette I once knew. Unfortunately, I let her slide through my fingers...wont happen with this beauty.

The 55/8 means the crown is 5 5/8" open. Nice score!

Doh!
Thanks, Bill. This one reminds me of of...many of yours, which is a good thing!

Felt like spiffing up for the annual meeting of our local Monteith Historical Society last night. Unknown German maker (PC Habig??) for a famous department store chain, Peek & Cloppenburg. This opera hat is probably from the 1960s as the store logo in the liner is the older style. Just a lot of fun to wear and it really was a show stopper at the meeting!

Nicely done, Red. A great look for the historical society.

My all time favorite hat of your stable Michael. Great pairing with that suit, vintage(ish)?
