What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[belfastboy]

This is not a hat I am wearing today but I wish it was. Just finished this one today for a relative by marriage. I like the colour so much think I will make one for myself. I like the Tonak felts, nice soft hand and a minimum of finishing required.

Tonak rabbit, a dark blue but not a navy with a vintage midnight blue grosgrain ribbon, royal blue highlight.
4 1/2" bash front, 5" side, 2 3/4" brim

That hat looks really light weight and very cool (from a temperature point of view) A desert hat?

Out getting some sun with my Lee pants pocket ‘Santa Fe’. For some reason I really like this hat, it’s a nice thin felt with a decent width brim. Oh and I paired it with a 1940’s multifaceted onyx ring, that’s really out of this hat’s league. Cheers

The lightest hat I have by a wide margin. I forget I’m wearing it.

Rare to see you in a fedora. Looks great! And old? Happy Birthday to your Father! Cool tie.

Thanks Randall! The hat was introduced in 1929 and I’ve not found anything to show how long it was offered.

Cooler winds off the lake have me donning a fleece and a Lee Cameo. This Black Label is a part of the infamous JohnnyPhi find of some years back.

Cheers. Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -

Great Lee!!! Great story!

May not know exactly how old, but it’s old!
Round sticker size tag, taped sweatband seam, frayed bow, etc.
Yours is in such great condition, too!

Didn’t know they started the Whippet in 1924! I could be made a happy feller with an early 50s!!

Very nice, both that fedora and tie! So is tropic weight lighter than featherweight?

Love the different colors together, looks sharp

This is not a hat I am wearing today but I wish it was.

Especially love the highlight on the ribbon.

I had to look Sisal up... made from the leaves of the cactus plant. You know you've lived in the Northwest too long when you realize that you didn't know cacti had leaves...

Thanks everyone. Georgie Girl -- not sure if it's lighter, but it is probably a bit damper (or that could just be me).
