What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Shoe]

Thank you, this forum may be a bit of a bad influence though. My hat budget has increased dramatically in the last few months.

Start working overtime or get a second job if you're planning on staying. This place is brutal.
Welcome to the fun

You’ll also notice every corner of your house starting to fill up. It may be time to start looking for a bigger place…or forget the guest room. Just think how many hats you could fit in there!

Lol, I like the way you think, maybe my kids could share a room right?

Better pictures of the reblocked Hufvud. I really like the hat now. Great proportions and the fit is also perfect.

Your hats are always so stylish and well proportioned, Marcel. I'd have to say you are very much a hat man. Looking good, young man!

You’re onto it!

Thanks Randy. I thought you might enjoy the bowler pics. With your derby / bowler experience do you have a guesstimate of the age of my lid?
Cheers, Eric -

I enjoy all your hats, Eric, I just have a thing for bowlers! I'm going to guess yours is a 40s model based on the liner logo. But, Alan or @DaveProc or others are probably better at dating the hat based on the color and format of the block tag and/or lot number inside the sweat if it has any.

I’m into two rooms now. My wife is noticing, and I don’t think I can encroach on the guest room.

Next in the old-black series, another European

Huckel, fur felt from ww1 era or slightly older, I found a few months ago.

Very thin felt and extremely soft. I was aiming for a center dent only, but I found this to serve posting/FL purposes only. Being this soft, it should have been used with deep side pitches for the guy to grab the crown when putting on/off his lid, back in the days.

Upbrim with deep flange and thin matching trims. Unlined and unreeded, laced sweatband. No bells and whistles on this one

Have a nice weekend!

What a beautiful hat Panos. Some serious personality on that one. Love the sweat imprints as well.

A few from the past few days. Thursday I had to go on Base to attend to some IT issues. A Stetson RD Musketeer went with me.

Yesterday, the powder blue Gannon.

Today, a Mallory fifteen.

Two wonderful looking VS's, Alan. Love the interesting, eye-catching ribbon and bow treatments on both.
