What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Rmccamey]

I've often said two things; there should be an automatic "like" button when Eric posts any hat and, second, there should be an Eric-only @Short Balding Guy thread!

Eric, I've more or less stopped commenting on your hats. Firstly, because they're all enviously wonderful. Secondly, because I've run out of superlatives.
That is one beautiful Flagship, sir. Love the tie, too.

Excellent, Rick. I don't know that I have seen a Wormser bowler.

I like the way you shaped that one Brent.

Thanks, Perry. Your Stetson today was fantastic; although, I must say I’m a huge fan of your obscure brand hats.

Since Steve ran out of superlatives, I made up one, Fantabulous Eric!

How about this one Stupendous!

Italian/Borsalino Week Day 6

Borsalino Debrosan - Sfinge

Another light weight Borsalino. This one the same 74 grams as the featherweight. Super thin and light weight.

This 50s OR is nothing fancy, just feels good whenever I grab it off the rack. No fuss, no muss, barely a brushing and it does the job.
Flash flood warnings, brown water advisories, no beach time, but things are good.

I’m surprised you don’t rock ‘locals’ slippa’s, Jonesy! They aren’t very practical, but I didn’t feel like a true local until I grabbed a pair from Longs for $6.

Only in Hawaii, leather jacket and flip-flops. Love it Jonesy.

That whole outfit is off the charts. Hat, jacket, shoes! A good pair of old school flip flops is good to have.

Hey man, I've seen a number of your hats and really love your bashes. I'm curious to know if they're achieved because the felt is super soft/light or if it's a result of steam and persistence? If you pick it up by the crown will it change your the shape?

Thank you. Most of my hats either have, or are given by me, a diamond crease and a fairly narrow front pinch. Of course, some hats are denser/lighter/thicker/thinner than others, but they all eventually succumb to the shape I want. The older ones do achieve the look better than most of the newer ones, due to a combination of their age, weight, and the quality of the material.

I have a couple of older ones (i.e. - 1939 Game Bird, 1930s Collins & Fairbanks) that don't keep their shape, no matter what. I can change the dimensions by hand with no steam or water and then pray for no strong winds to change them again. They were designed that way.

I use either steam or water from a spray bottle. If I use the sprayer I do it at night so it can be wearable in the morning.

I don't pick my hats up by the crease, as it mutates them over time. I use the brim.

Thanks Brent. I have been lucky to find some interesting ones over the years.
