What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

German week 5 comes to a close with day 7 (weeks usually come to a close with day 7).
Konsul Antilop in hellbraun (could well be made by Rockel)

Haven't posted all my German hats (there are a few stowaways here and there), but it's a good time to close German week. Let's do it with a two hat day.

Thanks for your pm the other day, too. Much appreciated.

[Steve1857]

Thank you, Randall. Very kind of you. I sure do appreciate you having parted with this OR.

Missed you, Steve! Glad you’re back.
If I thought I looked as swell under that OR as you do that one might’nt have taken the swim over there.
So good to see you and the hat!

Thank you, Stefan. I've been neglecting my FL duties of late, but hope to be more dutiful in the future

Great hat Steve... love the catalog with all the different styles

 

[Frunobulax]

Super colour, Jim. Is it the same hat as the one @Michael A has?

Thanks, and yes, we ship it back and forth so both of us can get some head time.

I believe it's the same color, but Michael's has a wider ribbon.

I have two Panamas stuck in Ecuador, but am probably cancelling the order - I understand the delays, but the customer service has been appalling. So my summer hat collection won't be expanding for a while. All of which means the repeats will be coming thick and fast from me in summer. Already my second time to post this Bailey paper hat.

Tough morning run. My body and mind was protesting the entire run. It brings to mind the much quoted story: I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion. Muhammad Ali. Cooled down and was channeling Champion by wearing a Champ.

Yesterday's physical and mental refreshing walk found me wearing a Gannon (granite beaver felt with charcoal trimming).

Grocery mission and grilling lunch had me sport'n a vintage Stetson Playboy.

This morning's soirée I wore a Royal Stetson in "perfect" early summer colors. Soon I will switch to light hued hats.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -

3 nice ones, but for me, that last one is covet worthy!

What a gorgeous day is right! Excellent hat that coordinates with your attire this morning.

A Sport jacket and hat is a great look. Looking sharp this morning.

Grocery run - Optimo Panama.

Good to see your post David. It is a glorious panama.

Who is that man behind the mask? I do feel ill at ease behind my sunglasses, bedecked in a fedora and mask going out in public. For me it conjurs up notions of a costumed Shadow. "As you sow evil, so shall you reap evil! Crime does not pay... The Shadow knows!"
