What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

So weather, life and an untimely Fedora Lounge crash yesterday stood in my way of posting one more larger brimmed hat along with the first day of StingyMas!

So while yesterday would in fact be the official start of StingyMas (according to the great StingyMas almanacs) I wanted to give this beauty a wear before my self imposed Stingy run.

I'm very fond of Adam hats. That's a beauty, Joe. Love everything about it. Super ribbon and bow treatment.

StingyMas is an 11 day celebration to show love for our hats of Shorter brim Started with our lounge friend Mike @Redfokker. For anyone wanting to join in the celebration there are no set “stingy brim” rules.. other than that it would be hats at the shorter brim end of our collections. One man’s stingy may be another’s wide brim and vice versa. For me… I’ll shoot for brims under 2 inches.

I will start out this year’s celebration with one of the hats that started it all for me in my love of vintage Fedoras… one that for whatever reason… I don’t think has made it into my StingyMas celebration in previous years. I had set out to find something like Raymond Reddington (James Spader) wore on The Blacklist. $5 or $10 on eBay several years ago got me started with this dark brown Royal Stetson clocking in just under 2 inches at about 1 7/8

Wegener "Start", possibly late 1920s. The Felt is a Mélange with a Rauh / Rough Finish. The Brim is a Curled Hidden Over Welt which was common in this time period + place. Color coordinated Wide Band with Back Bow. R. & M. Wegener Soft Felts from this time period are rare finds. I found this one back in 2020.

Now that's the kind of vintage I like to see!
