What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Frunobulax]

Nice looking Biskup, Jim. Those stars are something of an aquired taste

Yeah, it came that way. On the plus side, if I wear it to work I outrank everything on Base except the flag!

Edward Biskup "Eighteen-Ninety," in Superb Quality, with tacky little stars on the ribbon.

Etsuko is looking good, love the Maxim cloche. Belated happy birthday Etsuko.

There's a lady that I know who celebrated a birthday yesterday. She came across this tired and worn out hat at a festival, and has since breathed new life into it.

Happy birthday to the lady. Looks like it was celebrated in style. Wouldn't have expected anything else!

I took the Volvo out for a little spin in the snow this morning. Wearing my Akubra Fed IV today.

Cool wagon and great looking hat for the snow.

I think it was Brent who called them tacky back when it was listed on eBay. I rather liked them, so I bought the hat. I still occasionally entertain the idea of removing them.

That’s a cool wagon. Don’t see those too often.

I think you should keep them, Jim. They're definitely eye catching and a talking point.

This wonderful, early spring light shining through the front window on some of my Bowlers led me to two conclusions.



The first was to wear this Scott & Co for an evening outing:



The second was, I need to dust those hats

Tacky…. Hmm.….. I mean they are fairly reminiscent of fancy thumbtacks

Another really sharp hat, Brent.

 

[Rmccamey]

And, number 3, you need more bowlers!

Great collection. Steve!

That is most impressive Bob, given that shooting brake fell out of our lexicon about fifty years ago.

Shooting brake is a car body style which originated in the 1890's as a horse-drawn wagon used to transport shooting parties with their equipment.

The first automotive shooting brakes were manufactured in the early 1900's in the UK. The vehicle style became popular in England during the 1920's and 30's.

A bit off topic for this thread, but ... wow! A Rolls-Royce Woody? Formerly owned by Neil? What's not to love?

If it helps, I wore a hat today.

Thanks, Simeon. I was lucky and found this a few years ago in NOS condition at a bargain price.

 

[mayserwegener]

Good to know they're still out there. Lovely bowler, Steve. We'll keep searching.

Stefan, Thank you! Fantastic series of Hats from you. A wide assortment of European delights!

Love the colour & contrast with the ribbon.

Thanks, Robert. I’ve been thinking about another hat in camel…I think it’s the color closet to this hat.
