What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Short Balding Guy]

Do you like to fish, Eric? If I lived in Minnesota I would do little else with my free time

Max; I do like to fish. Being smarter and older I fish in great fishing weather, at great spots and am serious when I do it. I am ok not fishing frequently as long as I do it well.

Lawn chores found me sweating in a Tilley. I am enjoying this new to me styled hat for summer chores. Sweaty and dirty - both me and my hat.

A shower and change of clothes found me heading out for a walk thru the neighborhoods with my dog. A Cordova Cap is truly perfect. Warm summer sun with a strong breeze had the top of my head protected and cool. It is like a screen porch for my head.

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

The dirty, crumpled, sweatless Marathon in after photos.
This ribbon has faded to some weird color. Doesn’t really match the rest of the hat anymore. May change it, or may leave it just because it has become...unique?

That’s beautiful Randall. Great job!

Thanks, Steve. Wish I could find more of those.

Great example of the Hückel Chevreau today.

Stefan, Thank you! Great looking Panama Hat duo from you today!

1950-ish Cavanagh oddity - a woman's model with the bow on the man's side? Not a hat that I've found occasion to wear, though it is light and soft in decidedly un-Cavanagh style. Presented here for your enjoyment...

Definitely an unusual one Alan. Still quite beautiful. I think I saw one similar For sale a few weeks back.

This hat really speaks to me, Steve. Such a great felt color and the ribbon is the perfect complement. I even like the feather which is unusual for me.

Brent, Thank you! I like the feather too. HW used similar small feathers on this model.

 

[mayserwegener]

Beautiful Steve... the feather really pops!

Joe, Thanks! Great to see your Dobbs Wool Baskin yesterday! Fun post!

 

[mayserwegener]

Steve; Not the fuzzy, chamois glorious complicated/difficult felt of the cool weather felts, but your recent showcased hats have unique, classic and classy hues. The vintage feather adds character. Again, thanks for sharing.

This morning a dog soiree in an unlined brown Stetson Playboy. No humans were seen before 6:30am.

A run was next on the agenda. A walkabout to cool down turned out to be a couple hours in the Park Reserve. A VS Wanderer in a lightweight Art-lite dove hued beaver felt was my fedora choice.

The locals were out in numbers. No humans.

Home and fixing brunch (pasta carbonara with andouille sausage, tomatoes and spinach) had me enjoying my meal on the deck in a VS Wanderer (Art-lite silverbelly beaver felt).

Cheers on this June Sunday, Eric -

Eric, Thank you! Your trio of hats today are fantastic! Also beautifully showcased!

I think it looks fantastic Randall. Good turn around time too. I’d call it a keeper, well done again.

That homburg is a real classic, very sophisticated!

Dermotta Wien, Date Stamped 12 ?? 55. Great Form and the Felt is fantastic (color, finish, hand).

I'd call that color Butternut, Randall. Looks fantastic!

View attachment 240590 50s 2 3/4 brim Strat in a very unique buttery color, for me. How many have y’all seen in this color? View attachment 240589 View attachment 240591 View attachment 240592 View attachment 240593

Randy, Thank you! It's a favorite.

A fine no name straw, Randall.

View attachment 241524 Here’s a mystery straw that I bought for ten bucks along with two cheap garden straw hats. It was sans sweatband and hatband, but the real straw weave is very light and floppy, yet holds its shape well.
I sewed on a black grosgrain ribbon and bow that I took off a Dobbs stingy and sewed in a Resistol sweatband that was also taken from a cheap/ruined western.
I pleated the wide ribbon and bow.
Made for a decent lookin’ straw, and it goes with my new Sheen shirt. think I’m going to include a few more of these lounge styled shirts as part of my summer attire.

A Wormser for a Sunday afternoon lunch outing. For those of you in Brooklyn, that's "Woimser."

 

[Randall Renshaw]

I'd call that color Butternut, Randall. Looks fantastic!

A fine no name straw, Randall.

Thanks, Randy.
Guess I need to give it a name. Since it reminds me of a hat worn by long gone southern aristocrats, I’ll name it my, “Gentleman Antebellum”.
Quite proper, considering, I think.

Also, Thanks fo giving me the proper color name of the Strat.

 

[Randall Renshaw]

I think it looks fantastic Randall. Good turn around time too. I’d call it a keeper, well done again.

Thanks, Rumad and @Blare.
I’m still not sure about the faded hatband. It used to be a dark grey color, now it’s kinda...odd looking.

Cool hat, Max! Great color and I like the straw ribbon treatment too.

 

[Dlaniger]

All joking aside, that green hat is fantastic! I can see anyone making an exception for such a stunner.

I agree, fantastic.

Cool hat, Max! Great color and I like the straw ribbon treatment too.

Thanks, Reggie
