What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Hello,

After a long time reading this is going to be my first intervention here.

Where's your lunchbox Michael?

Ha ha, we usually go to the diner down the road from the job site for the special. That's a fine looking Wekony you are wearing today.

Hey Bob, I’ve been looking at a Milan Stratton and I’m curious how you like yours. Does yours have a leather sweat? It seems like a perfect hard-use summer hat.

I like it quite a bit Brent. It is my go-to woods hat in temps over 45-deg. The sweat is certainly leather like (pretty sure it is leather, but I don't have it at hand). I am sweating it up pretty good and may have to deal with some salt stains on the ribbon soon. Here are pics from the day I got it:

Thanks Michael.

My new dark green Portis The New Slant. I bought it mostly because I have wanted a hat with that liner for a while, but I like the rest of the hat as well.

A simple old Stetson "Aristocrat" in Standard Quality. Not as old as the 1925 ad - late 1930s on this one. The $8.00 price has been nibbled down to $7.50 by the depression. Note the wind cord button stitched through the bow with removable loop that affixes to a coat button rather than a buttonhole... a subtle twist that appeared with Stetson c.1940 and then disappeared as quickly. One of many Kleinhans sold hats that I've purchased from points far from home.

That liner is so pristine I thought it was a modern Stetson.

It is very clean throughout. Many of the older hats were worn with a higher crown which together with the wider sweatbands might have kept the liner away from the hair pomades of the day. This is a small size that fits me only a day or two after a haircut.

Eric: I enjoy your photography. The tree backgrounds are nice. The solar eclipse even better.

Thanks sir. I appreciate it.

This afternoon I had a meeting and selected a vintage Stetson Vogue (green felt) as my fedora.

Best, Eric -

Thanks Anthony. It's a little outside of my usual bailiwick, but I've gotten a lot of compliments on the Carhartt. And the old Red Wing Logger's. And even a few on the Stetson. Ha ha.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks, Bob. All I can currently find are the cloth sweatbands, but I’m still going to give it a try.

Hückel Weilheim "Derby" possibly late 1950s and a recent arrival. Hückel Weilheim made fantastic Homburg Hats.

Brent, I have one with a cloth sweat. I find the sweat comfortable to wear, but the hat is fairly warm for a milan. I wear it often in the woods, as Bob does, while mushrooming and I've sweated up the ribbon pretty well. There is a moisture barrier behind the cloth sweat, but it's not a cure all.

Continuation of homburg nation, this one from Brodt's:


If memory serves me correctly, @Redfokker is a fan of this one. Haven't seen him around much lately so hopefully the reno is progressing nicely and all is well. Speaking of which, where's @moehawk?

Thank you Michael. I might change out the sweat for leather. I don’t mind wiping the hat with a kerchief. All I could find was a dark brown so maybe the stains wouldn’t be too obvious? I’ll keep looking for other colors as well.

Mine is the trooper or ranger style, but i assume it's the same milan. It's also a sort of mid brown with a golden brown ribbon. The sweating is only evident on the ribbon. In truth, I think I prefer the cloth sweat for hats that get hard wear. I regularly cook out leather sweats. Maybe my head runs hotter and wetter than the usual. Ha ha.

Alan, Great to see this fantastic hat!
