What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Wyldkarma]

Just perfect Ken! Love this one.

Thanks Red.

Great minds, Mike! I wore my pecan felt from Mike Miller today, too, although these are file photos...

.

Yes, the pecan felt is so versatile! I love the way you have the brim on this one Doug.

J. Hückel ´s Söhne "Flexible" "Seal Velour", probably later 1930s.

This hat once had a Crease Clip. You can see where the liner was pinched.

And it still holds the crease from the Crease Clip.

I have a J. Hückel ´s Söhne Promo Pocket Mirror from Huthase with a similar style hat (Color, Form) and from the same time period.

The seal velour is so wonderful. Did it have the crease clip when you got it or is it a "ghost" from decades ago?

Thanks Stefan. I will say Bowen's got a lot of great hats.
Another trio of very fine hats. Great looks.
After I very satisfactory ride under the Champ I'm slacking around the house under the back bow Marathon again.

Have a good evening,

You really came out great with this pork pie. I only wish for such a find around here. The back bow and that taper to the crown just cries for the upturned brim.

I had this out for another thread. D’Aquino with ribbon by VS:

Art took it from a novelty hat, complete with royal blue ribbon, to a nice daily driver.

The ribbon work from Art really turned this one into a great hat. It looks like it takes an organic pinch well.

Some hat play. Couldn’t settle on one today so I wore two: my Tim Bender beehive bowler (on which I have just modified the brim and reworked the crown to remove some crease marks that show the sweatband line), and my Optimo Manhattan.
I’m sort of fascinated by how the Bender went from a kind of civil war looking hat to something I might have seen in the film “Gangs of New York.”

Before:

After:

And the Optimo:

I love this color pairing. The felt looks blue-gray on my monitor and the pale green ribbon is just perfect. I never would have thought to put them together but after seeing them I don’t think anything else would look better. Stunning thin ribbon.

Thanks Brent, but the ribbon is really a lighter blue gray than the felt. No green in it, at least not to my eyes

Maybe it’s my eyes or my monitor but it looks to be a lovely pale green to me. Either way, it’s a wonderful hat.

That is some beautiful Heather, Daniele. Looking good.

Beautiful heathers the last few days Daniele.

Thanks Michael and Richard and all the loungers that appreciated the heather French felt

 

[Trenchfriend]

Fine as always, all loungers!

Stetson clear nutria that came my way from former FL member Garrett Wonder. I owe him a return favor.

Dang. That's nice.

That seal velour is so cool, every time!

Jeff, Thank you!

Mike, Thanks! The Crease clip was missing. I also have a C.G. Wilke Velour that once had a Crease Clip. I only have 2 hats that came with Crease Clips. Probably the only 2 on the FL. Here is one of them.

I don't think I've seen a Fed IV look as nice as that one you're wearing. I'm not usually a fan of wide pinches but that one actually goes well.

Nice! Tall crown, wider brim... very nicely proportioned.

 

[mayserwegener]

Thanks! It has a tall crown. Also it's Wool (or a Wool blend) and a unique color (light violet).

Early Friday for me. Baling after today to take a couple days before the long weekend.

Unlined, lightweight Playboy for the unseasonably warm first week of October.

Gloria be! I'm imagining trying to get that clip onto the crown of a modern hat. Would probably put my eye out trying. A great and unusual look. Thanks for posting it.

That's very cool. But the colors of the felt and ribbon are exquisite, and the sweat treatment is my favorite. Excellent.
