What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Jimmy__patt]

Vintage 40s - 50s Adam Deluxe Whippet Style Fedora 7 3/8 Taupe
2 3/4" Brim
5 1/2" Crown
1/2" Bound Edge
It's got a shark gill ribbon but alot of patina. Not sure if it's worth replacing or just leave it alone?

A red fedora you don't see everyday. At MG gatherings it does get quite a few remarks, my shoes do too.

Very dapper Robert.

Thank you gentlemen. I'm surprised this hat is so popular - to me it's just a beater!

I prefer the term “character“

Must be one of the finest beaters ever, Nathan.

It's the overall shape and the colour of that wide ribbon that rocks my boat. Love it!

Thanks guys. I know it's just because it's a stingy brim that I'm not so attached to it. If only the brim were 1/8 inches larger I would love it - and baby it more.

That's the trouble with these old hats: the less I care, the more they wear. If it's a beloved, I hide it away!

Great hat, if it were mine I would leave the ribbon alone as the patina gives it even more character.

Nathan, I tend to favor my stingy-brims but as I always say, there really are very few "wrong" ways to do this hat hobby of ours. Indeed, I just created a new forum thread called "Show us your knockaround hats".

That's a looker! Personally, I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Dapper, eh? What a great compliment. Thank you Joe.

I do the same. Try as I might, it’s a habit I can’t seem to get out of.. That said, I’m with the others. How I’d love to have a beater like that! It’s the ribbon colour and width, and how it works with the felt colour that does it for me.

Dull hazy overcast here this morning... figured it needed a bit of color. This one began life as a nondescript 3x Stetson western big boy. Knocked off the dirt, did some brim trimming, reshaping, and added a wider ribbon. Bit more of a town hat than a western now

Rick said:"Dull hazy overcast here this morning..." That hat really does add some colour. Love the ribbon contrast. Our recent wet weather has given way to seeing a return of the sunshine, I am making the most of it. The bespoke Susquehana tops off today's attire on a really glorious day.

I'm wearing my Swann Beaver Blend whipstitch this morning, might have to switch out for a straw later as it warms up, high temps are still around 95 today. The light is great for pictures as the sun is pretty heavily filtered by wildfire smoke.

Morning dog soirée was enjoyed under the brim of a Stetson Royal De Luxe Open Road.

I enjoyed morning coffee while wearing a VS Stratoliner (dove beaver felt).

Cheers, Eric -

Another stunner, Steve! It was great seeing on our show the other day. The invitation to join me as a "Hat Chat" guest to share your expertise on German and Austrian hats. I feel like there are so many folks that would benefit. In the meantime, I will continue to admire your collection here. Cheers!

Luke, Thank you! Send me a dm to discuss.

Steve, I just sent you a DM. Thanks again!

Another beautifully done remake, Rick!
