What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

Yesterday I purchased a small collection of hats from an engineer now tired of wearing brimmed hats, his current orientation is caps. So I traveled two hundred kilometers and from a delightful person I brought home nine hats, some of them very interesting. The first one I had viewed to ascertain the state of use is the one that accompanies me on my daily walk around my office.

Most of the hats were bought as shop stock and some are very interesting, others much less. Meanwhile, let's enjoy this historical Panizza

Have a nice Monday

Always nice to get a good haul, Daniele. You start of with a good one. If one is tired of hats, one is tired of life.

Got not so many shots of the top, but here it is

Nice, thank you. A little hard to tell with the angle, looks like a nice C-crown crease you went with. You wear it well.

Yeah you're right. I tried to bash a teardrop, but it ended as a c-crown

That's "natural" colour isn't it, Brent? I like that; very versatile.

Yes, I have naturals from Gannon and Phoenix, and I have one on order with @belfastboy I too find them very versatile.

Not the widest I ever had (that one resides now in Helsingor) but a good 6cm nonetheless.

Very nice! Nice work by Mikael.

Thanks, Stefan. Mikael does good work and he’s only getting better. I have a beaver hat on order from him that should be here in time for Christmas.

As per tradition, yesterday my new Stetson went to Mass to get consecrated.

Today, Grandma Anna's Royal Stetson.

That sounds like a Christmas present every FL'er should wish for themselves.
I'm sending my letter to Santa now

Love the ribbon work!

I haven't worn this jacket much during the last 50 years... always a challenge to find a good hat to wear with. Thanks to Keith Lo Bue, I've got some choices.

@jonesy86 7’ Hawaiian? Looks small for their measuring. Nice scenery!

Winter is when the big waves show up on the North Shore. I typically swim out past the breakers (and surfers) float around for a while and swim back in. I got tossed around pretty good swimming back to shore yesterday. Good fun.

Love the ribbon work!

Thanks! I did this one myself.

Thanks! I did this one myself.

Nice one Jim. I was wondering if you did that, well done sir.
