What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Staying with the Cavanagh brims or Guild edge as it is called on this 1950s Dobbs fifteen dollar hat. Could probably use another month or two of cooling off for this black felt… but the lower humidity this week had me itching to bring out this black beauty

I enjoy these early 60s Dobbs, I've got a couple. They were still making higher quality, full featured hats during the period. Not soon after, everything went in the dumper.

Classic weave Brent. I like the air conditioning feature. Our straw days up here in Oregon seem to be done for.

I suspect with the oil skin liner and price point with these features this one may be 50s. But I do agree by mid 60s we start to see quality drops across the board. Starting with sweatbands and overall smaller dimensioned hats both in brim and crown. We still end up with some decent stingies then ;)

I was wearing a Stetson Open Road during my dog soiree this morning.

Another black hat.. this one a bit shorter brim. I thought this impromptu Cavanagh edge week could use an actual Cavanagh branded Cavanagh Edge hat. The brim my be shorter on this twenty-five dollar 1960s hat… but it is still well appointed in true Cavanagh style.
