What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

You have wonderful hats, Stefan. Wonderful. I really like the crown height on that one.
If you ever find one of those in my size, could you save it for me?

I'm always on the lookout, Max. If something of interest turns up I'll let you know.

Bowen's full of good ideas. It's a great look in an unexpected way.

Ha ha Stefan:
I do try to impart some Hatitude to those guys over in leather jackets but they just smite me! Lol Except Jonesy. Ha

Good afternoon. Finally a comfortable weekend here in the NE. Lock & Co. today.

Love the colour on that one. Nice!

I was up cleaning the new hat safe until 2 am last night, and wanted to put the shelves back in and arrange my hats in it when I got up, but Nooooooo [*Insert John Belushi impression here*]
My youngest daughter is studying interior architecture, and it seems like I have to take her to buy supplies every other weekend. [emoji34]
And on top of that, they are expensive!

Oooooooh, that's nice, Max! Is that a Gorasgu? It seems to have the same unruly character as Mike's longhair Gorasgu.

The hair sits well only when I just brushed it...

Brisk and cool weather had me making it a two cap morning.

I worked on yard chores in a Gannon (natural hued beaver felt w/gills).

I met a couple of friends for lunch and a beer wearing a vintage 50's Stetson Playboy coordinating with a 50's tie and a 50's inspired Pendleton Jacket.

Best to all, Eric -

Splendid parade of headwear, Eric. Superb.

Yay Monday! (O.K... not really...)

Knox Fifth Avenue to sooth my damnwherethehellhastheweekendgoneism.

Have a happy day, all.

Yeah, Monday blues...this hat will help with that. Great looking Knox Matt.

What Mike said!

 

[steur]

Thanks, Matt. Too bad you can't pop down to Penney's and get one like it.

Talk about being cruel and heartless...

Hey all!
Dreary day here. Good thing I have this Tonak Seal Velour to cheer me up.

Have a great day!

Powered by happy thoughts

That would cheer anyone up. From the days when the Hückel guys were still running the show there. Breathtaking hat.

I wore a Gannon Wanderer (inspired by the Stetson of same name) in a silvermist beaver hue with charcoal trimmings this evening. I headed out to listen to a group play old jazz standards. The horn and sax fellows are real finger zingers and were in the pocket during this gig.

They were supermurgitroid! (While they might have not been that grand I have really wanted to use this word since reading it of late in a book about the history of Jazz music.)

Best this evening, Eric -

Absolutely beautiful color, looks good on you.

Ok it’s confession time, again.
I was posting in the Leather Jacket thread, yikes, and i had to find the perfect hat to go with it.
So..Today it’s a Borsalino i had to beg the Etsy seller to sell me, cause she said i....
err, increassed her anger factor, by questioning the price relative to the length of being listed. Luckily, my self abasement technique prevailed and she took my money!! Man was she err...p***ed!
Be well. Bowen

Not only a spelndid hat, but a memorable story to go with it!

[emoji22] You would rather get rid of the brim binding than sell it to me? [emoji22]

Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk

Ha! No, it's not that! I just want to keep the hat. The brim floppiness was frustrating me and not wanting to hold its shape. But I think I may have taken care of that problem. I spritzed a little stiffener on the brim, (light coating), and it seems to be holding up pretty good. I'm not a big fan of stiffener but this was an instance where I needed it. I'm not saying the hat can't be had, I'm just saying that it would take something substantial to convince me!

I have a meeting today with the boss about a Oral History gig. Figured the 1942 Rose Bowl hat would be a good choice. I need to wear this one more.

You do, Mike It's a good looking hat. Been trying out some benchsitters myself.

 

[steur]

Been a bit busy the last few days, so did some catching up. Didn't comment on all the great hats but I feel I should have.
A few different ones from the last few days:
Barbisio Aristocrat

Barbisio Terranova

And another benchsitter: Danubia

 

[Redfokker]

Agreed - 2 1/2” on a straight crown looks good. For example, I like this Stetson 100 but still think another quarter inch would make it better.

View attachment 138136 View attachment 138135 View attachment 138137

I think we all have our preferred dimensions. I like this 100 just like it is, especially with that Art ribbon. I'm OK with anything down to a stingy but not as wide as a western. I'm easy...

Big floppy Borsalino on gray velour. I also have its twin in brown. No name on the sweat so I call them my Nomad hats.

Unusual brim treatment:

That finish is to die for Brent. My longhair velour is floppy and unruly too. Problem child that you love.

...and with a topcoat and a Tommy gun in a violin case!

Now you’re talking!

I have the feeling you could do a top 25 with ease, Bowen.

Yep. He’s a sandbagger for sure.
