What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

J Lord. Was looking for a vintage Whippet style hat and saw this on Goodwill. $10 plus $9.50 shipping So about $20.00
Needs a cleaning and has some very tiny moth bites, just a few and you have to look hard to see them. What the hell, I bought it. I read J Lord was a custom hatter. After cleaning I think I'm holding a nice lid. Wearing it to the grocer just to see how I like it.
That is a beautiful hat! Nice find.
My hat and finished lunch and back to work we go. Char Sui Ramen was excellent!

Hats this close to food always make me feel uneasy. Both hat and food look excellent though, Eric.

Today....i love lightweight, unreeded, unlined vintage hats. Bantams, Strats, etc. pretty much any in this category.
So, the Knox Vagabond fits the bill with what i call “whisper felt”. You just whisper a crease into it. Lovely!!
The bummer on this one is i enjoy it so much it keeps losing stitches on the sweatband. I’ll need to remedy this shortly.
Be well. Bowen
As @Redfokker would say: black hats matter. Fabulous, Bowen. Anyone heard from him recently btw?

Brüder Böhm "Velour" possibly 1930s.

Great hat, Steve. I love those simple but highly detailed liners.

Great looking Dobbs, Stefan. I like those colors.

I had to go with Dobbs today. Hanover Square

And some bonus summer sausage

I haven't decided if it's smoke kielbasa next or fresh hot Italian.

Instead of heart, I’d rather eat some of that homemade smoked sausage, Michael. My brother makes smoked country sausage using homemade hogs and goat intestine for casing. Got some in the fridge and now, thanks to your post, know what I’ll be eating for lunch!
Of course, by now, it should go without saying, I dig your Dobbs Hanover!
One day...

Resistol conversion with new 5/8" ribbon by local place, Shorty's Caboy Hattery. This is the one that was squished badly by Fed Ex. Had brim trimmed earlier by Schafer Hat works. Below is condition it arrived in.

looks like they did a good job from these pics, how do you like their work?

I just recently learned that Shorty's is the hatter for legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross.

Thanks Hector. If that made you hungry it's probably a good thing I didn't put up photos of the big pastrami on rye sandwich I made for lunch, with the pastrami I smoked last week. And the big chunk of smoked cheddar on the side that I did the week before. Ha ha.

Michael

Looks great Michael ! I was waiting to see that Rueben too ! Sounds delicious.
