What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[T Jones]

So sorry to hear this, Terry! But at least you don’t have a dog you have to walk. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thank you buddy! Besides two cats, I do have a dog to walk, and she loves to bolt after squirrels!

Today it's a Resistol Stagecoach for me. This is another that I restored and sized up. It now sports a Cutter Crease and a curled 3 1/2 inch brim.

Also, I'm sportin' a new Cowboy boot. I had recently got over a back issue that caused my right leg to lose muscle. After a somewhat painful back injection I was going through therapy to restore the muscle and strength in my leg. I only had one more day of therapy left when I went outside looking for our cat and I slipped and fell in the snow. My right leg, the one I was taking therapy for, folded up under me and the whole weight of my body came down on top of it and fractured my fibula. The cat was on the front porch the whole time. Moral of the story, get a dog. They're a lot less trouble. This has been a bad year for getting hurt. At least I got a fancy cowboy boot out of it. Just one of these boots is all I want. I don't need the pair.

A little Cowboy music.

Oh man. Not good news.l. Hopefully you can get healed up,quickly and continue therapy

Fantastic

A great array of hats again, Stefan. I don't like picking a favourite, but the Rehfus just ticks all the boxes for me every time.

Thanks, Steve. I had a feeling you were going to pick that one

Thank you Blare! It doesn't feel anywhere near as bad as it sounds. It aches a little in the evenings and that's about it. I just have to be careful and watch my steps. Otherwise I'm getting around pretty good. I'm just glad I trimmed my toe nails before I fell and had to go to my orthopedic surgeon!

30s or 40s Marathon on this NFL conference championship Sunday with a few “Ribeyes” on the grill (They look suspiciously like NY Strips... but damn they were good!)

I really like the ribbon treatment on that one. Nice.

Edit to add: I really like the looks of those steaks too!

 

[Mighty44]

So happy to be able to wear a fedora today after weeks of highs in the 20s—parka and knitted hats every day.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Jota" "Seal Velour" possibly late 1930s. The Velour color and finish are fantastic. Very high gloss. I found this Velour back in 2021.

J. Hückel ´s Söhne, K.u.K. Hof-Hutfabrikanten, Neutitschen & Wien. Seal Mark pre WWI could be late 19th Century. It was removed from the document but it appears there is a collectors market for just the Seal Marks. I found this back in 2017.

A high quality velour made by Anton Peschel (Nový Jičín) for Oviatt's, likely later 1930s. The materials and construction are impeccable, the cotton (or linen) liner might represent a shortage of silk ahead of WWII. A notable survivor... remarkably, Steve owns a relief plate used to print this liner.

Alan, Great to see this beauty! A.P.N. hats are rare finds. Here is the A.P.N. "Service" "Oviatts Los Angeles" relief plate.

 

[mayserwegener]

Got it from a seller from Spain (of all places) through a second hand selling site (Vinted). The weather is depressing here, though we missed most of the heavy winds that you had to deal with.

Stefan, That is really something that the Rehfus & Cie. came from a Spainish seller! As usual a fantastic series of hats from you! The JHS Velour is amazing. I have to check and see if I have a record of that one.

Second hat today: Motsch fils right now and smoking some DTM tobacco "Salty Dogs" in my Mr. Brog "frog" pipe. Life is good!! ;-)

 

[Rollin Rains]

Today, I'll be wearing a new Stetson.
Based on the product's need for a security tag, my expectations are high.
