What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[johnnycanuck]

Stetson 5X today. I consider it my Raylan Givens hat.

Stay safe everyone.

Lincoln Hat Works - Lincoln, Nebraska
Milk chocolate - Medium Brown Felt
Approx 4 1/2 crown as shaped with “Dual Fire” crease
3/8 inch Tri-Cord ribbon
2 7/8 brim with 1/8 bound edge

A hat that had certainly seen better days… from a lesser known brand… in need of a new sweatband and covered in dirt… but somehow it just spoke to me. The felt while thin and dense is quite firm/stiff even in the crown… but shapes quite well with steam. The crown sports a sort of dual fire crease… almost like a slightly telescoped cattleman’s crease and was one of the things that really caught my eye. When I saw the photos though I immediately knew I wanted to try out a front pinch in addition to the crease… and I think it works. I tweaked the brim a bit… though I’m not sure I’m totally settled on this shape for it. I knew the sweat was fairly shot going in.. but I managed to sweat though and shrink up the old leather in today’s broiling heat. Oh well.

Definitely a hat with character, Joe. I can see why it spoke to you.

Headed out in the rain in my beater Resistol to deliver some of my wife’s famous blackberry pie to the neighbor (since he picked the blackberries).

Not sure about that Rusty. The neighbor worked harder that I did for this pie to happen.

My son and I went out for lunch today for some quality guy time. Mom went to the movies with her girl friends for her time. We had a blast. I chose my LBJ/OR inspired Gannon for our outing.

Have a safe and blessed weekend.

All quiet on the western front. Not much to post lately, mostly have been wearing my self-refurbed 7xCB. Being a thinner, lighter felt, it's good for bay area "summer."

Now that the warm weather is actually here, I brought out my natural Panama OR, Meyer the Hatter special.

That is one serious addiction Eric, and each and everyone has that wow factor. Amazing.

We are off to a classic car meeting today, held on the quay at Christchurch. We shall lunch in the quayside restaurant known simply as: "Boathouse." I shall wear the battered Biltmore but if the weather cools I might just wear one of my bespoke felts that the lady at Gamble & Gunn made for me.
