What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Perfect timing! Mailman arrived with the new Campdraft Deluxe just as a gap in the storms blew over.
Always an exciting moment when something arrives with a bit of box damage... but it all good inside View attachment 694639

Perfect weather for the RM Williams jacket and a new Akubra. Needed some dusting and will need a bit of steam to clean up a bit of brim and crown shaping ( front keeps snapping back up and it almost looks like it had a cattlemans crease), but Im happy. Love a taller brown hat. An I finally own a Heritage felt Campdraft!

The T-shirt? Anyone who grew up in New Zealand in the 70s will recognise this piece of Kiwiana. View attachment 694786
A quick bit of research suggests the iconic Longest Drink in Town shake containers came out one year before I did.

Fantastic pairing, Gary!

Can’t read the first number in the Lot No. but I’d guess mid 30s. “Excellent Quality”
Unrivaled felt! They should all be like this. View attachment 694712 View attachment 694713 View attachment 694714 View attachment 694715 View attachment 694716

And I decided the Centenarian Borsalino deserved a night out in celebration of its awesomeness.

Yesterday I was wearing my Stetson Junior Cowboy that has modest proportions . Today I went as big as I got with the newest addition, Stetson Tom Mix sporting an impressive 4 - 3/4" brim and 7" crown with a 2" grosgrain ribbon hatband. "Giddy-Up y'all "

Looking good Steve

 

[Blare]

Actually—here’s the swoop for you (admittedly exaggerated by the lens distortion). The Commander is definitely my most 1940s hat and a pleasure to wear thanks to a new sweat from @randallrenshaw View attachment 694937 View attachment 694938

Great hat, David.

What a score, Joe!!!! That Penn-Traffic looks AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!

Thank you Mark. Much appreciated.

The coming of spring means my wife is entering fanatical-gardener mode, which means I get used a lot for manual labor. That's in addition to all the "usual" on-going work involved in having moved to a 47-year-old house. However, I did manage to get out of the house/yard for almost an entire hour today,

and while out, I sported my newest older fedora.

It's an unnamed model tan Portis, with Swan's Down Finish, that, from labeling, price tag, and general styling, I'd estimate to be from the early to mid 1950s.

Shame you only got to wear it for an hour.

 

[Randall Renshaw]

A beauty, Randall. Really like that camber brim style.

That is an absolute stunner, Randall!! FYI, the store that originally sold it, was in business for 139 years!!

Thanks guys!
I’ve got another English cambered brim from around the same period maybe wear it tomorrow.

Always enjoy getting to see this Gannon.

Makes them shine in full glory. Thanks, Joe!


Thank you, Robert.


Whoa, what a thing. That's a hat and a half, Timmy!


And thank you for the likes.


Yum! Love this ribbon treatment, Jim.

Always love seeing that Ganon, Jim.

Can you get more powder blue than that? And what a superb ribbon and bow treatment!

THAT is a 5-star winner, Jim. BEAUTIFUL hat!!!!

Thanks, gents. Mr. Gannon definitely earned his rep with this one. I gave him a bit of a challenge on the bow treatment and he rose to the occasion.

 

[GHT]

Thank you, Robert. Very kind of you, sir.

Lady Tina is truly the most wonderful maker of bespoke clothing. I hope her recovery from her illness is progressing in an upward trajectory.

Love that tie, too, by the way!

Thank you Mark, your compliments and well wishes are gratefully received. Actually you, and others, make the lady smile. She likes The Lounge but is not one for engaging in social media.

You like my tie? Tina has a project up her sleeve. I'm not allowed to see but I know it's a pair of silver/grey trousers. The hat and tie are on standby to compliment those trousers when they come off her sewing machine.
