What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

Early 30's Stetson Select Crush Weight - this 88 gram felt is light enough for today's PNW weather

It's a real vintage, it's lightweight, it's in pristine condition and it looks great. It's all there, Garrett; congrats!

Good Saturday folks. Thanks for sharing your hats/caps/boaters/bowlers and others.

Early morning dog soirree had me sport'n a VS Wanderer (Artlite dove felt). What a HAT!

Returning home I was at the top of my breakfast game grilling hashbrowns, bacon and eggs. I wore a vtg. Stetson Playboy for the delicious process and outcome.

Early morning errand and yet again another errand had me "twinning" in Cordova Caps in bolder wool Dashing Tweed fabrics.

Chainsaw, cutters and axe work had me working in a Akubra Campdraft (Fedora Lounge version in bluegrass).

Grass cutting, blowing and garden work in a Sunbody hat with a "big" 3" brim.

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

Another fine parade of hats, food and work, Eric. An example to us all, sir. Love the vents on the VS Wanderer.

Met up with my parents at an antique store, waiting for them to get there. Rocked the Akubra Campdraft deluxe early today.

Looks great on you.

Hey everyone!
This entry-level Homero Ortega Cuenca isn't anything remarkeble as far as Panama hats go (about 110-120 wpsi if I recall correctly) , but it holds a special place in my heart since it was my introduction to the world of toquilla and other fine straws. So, it deserved to be ironed and worn at least once this summer.

Have a great day!

Good to remember your introduction to the world of tequila, John; it's easy to forget if it was a proper introduction

Thanks, Steve. Very good to see you around. Felt weather is coming up, so I hope to see you on a regular basis again. You're right about the bowlers of course; they do deserve better.


Thanks, Alan. I think it's easier for Steve to wear them because he's English; seems like a natural fit. But I agree: there's something very enjoyable about them.

Thanks, Stefan. The wonderful summer has indeed held me back from hat wearing. It's been too hot even for straws. However, with felt season approaching I am hoping and intending to be around on the FL a bit more

Well we look forward to having you back around more often

The past couple of months have seen a lot of wear with my Sunbody 6" brim Gus. Felt season is right around the corner though and I have a Royal Deluxe Stetson Open Road (natural) waiting for some me time.

Perhaps I should have worn this Strat last weekend for the Indy 500

Last evening I was out and about in a vintage Stetson Flagship.

This mornings dog soiree found me wearing a VS (moss green) fedora.

I fixed breakfast for my brother and nephews before they headed out for some water skiing on the lake. Wet suits were needed on this cool summer morning. Grilling in a VS (mint green stratoliner inspired fedora).

Breakfast was buffalo steaks, corn bread with beef gravy and salads. The buffalo steaks are from a local rancher. My visitors left for water activities leaving me to start to lop off branches in an unlined Stetson Playboy.

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

Wow.. that Flagship is so blue. Beautiful

Wow.. that Flagship is so blue. Beautiful

Thanks. Very blue. The attached pics show the hat as more brilliant blue than it is in real life. The blue is a Stetson cadet blue. Yesterdays overcast skies really distorted the hues for my camera. Since March I have been working to understand and use a new camera (Sony RX 100 VI). It still is a work in process.

Cheers, Eric -

Looking good already, Mike. Can't wait to see what bash you decide for that wonderful piece of hat history.

Every time I see an Akubra or wear one of mine, I can't help singing Waltzing Mathilde. That Coolabah has me singing it even louder
Looks cool on you, Johnny.

Thanks, Steve ..
I can't leave as is?
I'm such hat nouveau riche ; )

It's your hat Mike, you can wear it as you want. The Pork Pie look you have it as now works for me, and looks good for you.
Personally, I'd give it a period shape, but that's just me: old school

 

[Steve1857]

All this recent talk of Bowlers and G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaros had me wearing my one and only (so far) fu Lazzaro for my evening walk.

The few folks about looked at me as if they weren't sure whether or not I was Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde
