What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

I came to Texas to pick up a bunch. There are 80 hats, but I can only take 36 with me this trip.
Also, I've been busy seeing to my Dad's will. That will take a while, but I will be back in force once that's settled.

I think we're gonna need a bigger safe

Stetson 5X clear beaver, c.1940. There are additional photos of this hat here.

I don't think I could handle any more pictures of that hat! Fantastic, Alan.

So pleased, I really thought that I might miss out on this weeks hats.

A couple of days ago, we were at a rather good function. "Wear your Stetson for me," she suggested. "With what?" I replied, "think of something," she said, grinning. "For you dear............"Tina made the shirt, vest & trousers, I have no idea how much of her outfit she made.

Superb look on both you and Tina, Robert. Splendid!

Now boxed up for the summer. Autumn can’t come soon enough!

Really like that style; just far enough removed from a homburg to be informal.

For some reason, I don't think it would take much for you to want that.

Off to the office for the first time since the aborted attempt back in July last year. I picked a 50s Strat for the occasion.

He probably missed you too. Very nice strat, Jim.

Good morning. A morning scamper through the neighborhood had me wearing a gorgeous hued Stetson.

The brim treatment and other features, IMO, makes this hat's quality above the marked "Royal. "

Home and enjoying some coffee time on the deck wearing the other Stetson's fedora. This Stephan L. Stetson hat is a bigger brimmed 2 7/8" minty condition hat.

It has a Carter "Detatchable Leather" sweat.

Obvious, to me, that it has "Olympic Quality."

Cheers to all hat folks. Best, Eric -

Beautiful parade of hats again, Eric. I'll never get tired of seeing your wonderful collection.

Happy as a clam, cause the fuzz is faux. Stetson 100

Fantastic hat, Ross. Glad that one isn't faux.

I finally picked up this wonderful Montecristi in Texas. What a wonderful weave! I don't know much about Panama hats, but Graham Thompson says it is a fine, tight weave. A little small for me, but Ignacio will take care of that.

That's a fabulous looking weave, Max. Something to cherish.

Great shape on that dog, John. I'll disregard that it's green.

Very similar in look to yesterday’s Dobbs Homburg.… this 40s Dobbs is a short brimmed Fedora with a 1930s vibe

Borsalino for today's errands.

It's overcast, windy, and really not that warm for late spring. On the bright side, felt season has been extended.

Felt weather is good weather

I wore the VS felt/straw hybrid I bought from Bill Hughes for my nephew's commencement ceremony today. View attachment 425657 View attachment 425658 View attachment 425659 View attachment 425660

Your mood seems to have gradually improved, Max!

And now I am wearing my new Churchill Beaver "100" made with Vicuña. It might be misremembering, but the felt in this one is even better than the one in my white. It is just as obedient, but it feels smoother and velvety to the touch. I don't remember that feeling in any of my other hats. Both came with identical leather cases.

If you think the felt is special it must be quite something, Max. They're looking great for sure.

Wonderful hat. Most pics and the commentary are by Alan himself. I could never write that well.

O my goodness. Are you trying to give me a heartattack, Max? Incredible hat.

Well, after Max showed off his big guns, it's my turn with the smaller guns

@drmaxtejeda and @steur you guys blow me away with your hats!!!

 

[GHT]

Oh yes, oh very much the sin of covet, yes. Tell you what Stefan, all fabulous as ever but what is an absolute scene stealer is that lovely grey jacket with feint white pin stripes in the first two photos. Part of a suit maybe?

Heaven's gates are firmly closed to my entrance:
Thou shalt not covet! I wouldn't mind, I have my own
Sovereign, but not in that, to die for colour.

@drmaxtejeda and @steur you guys blow me away with your hats!!!

Thanks, Marcel. Patience and perseverance (and maybe a chunck of money) and you'll get there.

Thank you very much, Robert. It is indeed part of a suit. I think you'd like it; double breasted, cuffed trousers.

Beautiful. I love the shape and it has just the right contrast on the brim binding. Classy!

Thank you kindly, Gary.

Sunday wouldn't be Sunday without the omnibus edition of the Archers and Stefan's week in hats. Some very nice shirts and ties too!

Love the Knox. Do I detect a Fleur ribbon and bow on it, Stefan?

Finally, straw weather. Mühlbauer for a stroll down to the harbour.

A festival in Wakayama today. Let’s hope it wasn’t a super-spreader festival.
Etsuko wore the same Borsalino as last week.

I wore my Panama hat.

I tried my hand at some street photography.

This is Ken Matsudaira -a famous actor here in Japan.

Some interesting hats on display.

Dang, he makes a fine hat. Everything he promised, and more! This one I bought on eBay, and is too large for me, but Ignacio will set it right.
Tim, you're a master hatter. This one is way up there with the Optimo Chicagos.

Great looking hat! My first custom was from Tim and it is really nice.

One of the longest and wettest little league games I have ever sat through. Photo evidence below. My umbrella fell apart in stages throughout the game and was left in a garbage can in Inwood Park but the Camp Draft got me through. Oh, and my son’s team lost.

Enjoy the weekend!
