What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Great hats

Thanks, Fabio. You rock that Stetson bowler by the way.

Nice collection. I feel my blood turning green again.

Great hat. Does it have the blue blush that shows in some of your photos?

Thanks, Michael. With that Borsalino LEO you're wearing the feeling is mutual.

Yes, very nice bluish hues.

My only 7X CB Stetson. I got it cheap because of some moth damage and the SB was in poor shape. Thanks to @Rockwater I corrected most of the moth damage with a needle. I replaced the SB so the collector value is diminished, but I don't care. I hope I can find another sometime.

I like that a lot Brent. Love the wide curled brim. Actually I love it!

 

[Cornshucker77]

Hey people!
It was the Dalton (World's Finest!) Genuine Beaver up top on an overcast afternoon.

Have a great day!

Excellent John!

 

[Cornshucker77]

Someday, John, I'll talk you out of that thing.

In the meantime, this Dobbs Cross country makes me happy.

Outstanding......again Perry.

 

[Cornshucker77]

Oh no. Not for 38 years.

I played Alto Sax in High School (Class of 77). I picked one up a couple years ago and it was bad. I have lost my lip.

Thanks, Scott. Kind of you to say so. Much appreciated!

The light, the lids, the love!! Your painting with light of late is lovely, Michael.

Your chair is similar to a “birthing chair” my folks brought back from Spain in the late 1970s. We’ve never tried it.

 

[hatophile]

Outstanding......again Perry.

Thanks Scott. Your rehabbed 7X came out quite nice.

In 1981 I was in high school. My band director knew Benny Goodman. He came and played a concert with the high school jazz band I was a member of. An evening I will never forget!

What did you play, Bill? I was a bari sax and clarinet man. Got to play with Mel Torme, Lew Tabackin, and Frank Rosolino in high school. Jazz educator conventions in Wichita and Chicago, and the Seattle opera house a couple times.

 

[Hat and Rehat]

I finally finished this black Borsalino refurb. This one started out as a size 7 that I stripped down and reblocked to a 7 1/4 to fit me. I replaced the original mid ribbon and went with a matching black 3/8 thin ribbon. I have more in the Conversion Corral...

Gotta have a black hat that matches my truck

That is sweet, Terry. I won't ask any questions until I go to the coral.
Well, yes I will ;-)!
Was the Borsa welted before? I've ripped, then ironed one welt out. Ermatinger's book made me think I could develop the skills of a hatter. Apparently welted hats hadn't taken off in 1910. He never mentions them. They have go bye-bye for any full reblock, don't they?

 

[Tukwila]

I was on bass bone (bass trombone). But yes it was awesome.

Ah, a favorite. Sometimes bari sax plays the same lines with the bass bone.
