What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Hagwood]

Tuesday eagle roost update: The eagles were more visable and active this morning. I went early (before 7:30am) and without humans/dogs and other disturbng influences I got to see them hunting and adding to the ungainly structure perched very high up. On a side note, on the way home I amost yelled to the pigpens to maintain social distancing.

I will have to remind myself to carry a better camera soon so that I can get something other than small dots in a large pic background.

The local wildlife is going about a "normal" dry spring routine. Reassuring in the morning.

Eric -

Very cool Eric, I enjoy the Eagle updates.
It is nice to view the wildlife and nature and everything seems fine with the world.

Social distancing trend setter right here. Took the kids out Kite flying. Every family walking by said they should get their kites. Next thing you know there were five new kites in the sky.

Great plaids and hat combo Michael. All you need is a kilt!

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Lovely embroidered Last Drop Randall.

Thanks, Tim, but it’s not a real Last drop just about like it’s not a real OR. But it’s a great Stetson and I love it anyway.
I added the liner about a month ago.
Maybe Randy won’t mind that I put in a cool upgrade to the hat he generously sent to me.

30 Days to 30 Hats - Day 22
Mallory Ten

The Mallory Ten
Cravenette Processed Tan felt
3 1/4 crown as bashed in telescope pork pie style
2 inch grosgrain ribbon
2 3/4 Brim with approx 3/8 grosgrain ribbon
1 3/4 brown sweatband

This hat is one of two hats I have that belonged to a man who was a Police Chief in Poland during WWII. He was a holocaust survivor and hero who helped 100s escape occupied Poland. I truly love when I am able to get the story to go with the hats I wear.

I believe is a Fedora bashed with a telescope pork pie like crown

One to keep as it is, if only as a tribute to its original owner.

J. Hückel´s Söhne were famous for Velour Soft Felt Hats but their Stiff Felt Hats were also very popular. This week I will feature J. Hückel´s Söhne Stiff Felt Hats.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Plume", 135 grams, possibly late 1920s. The felt is very dense with a
great smooth finish. Unique Box bow for a Stiff Felt. Fantastic liner and sweatband. Also this Stiff Felt is in super condition.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Neutitschein 1901

Owner and director August Hückel is standing center (arms folded, hand in jacket) in both photos.

Another one is superb condition, Steve. I like the slightly more curved brims better than the more straight ones.

I chose my Art Fawcett VS Cuenca today for the Corona Crawl down the hill and along the coastal path to my local beach. They won't let anyone hang out on the sand, but you can still swim and surf. With a light breeze, medium swell, with no rip currents, or cross currents I swam out past the breakers to where only a few surfers were hanging out and floated over the waves. The waters wash over me and cleanse my soul in these times of trouble.

I have no experience with them, but I know there was a Fléchet license for the US. Don't know who held it though.

At $6.50 a pop she would be crazy not to
