What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[theartcoach]

This is a vintage late 80’s Stetson Rancher that I got on eBay. It is a little worn and has some spots that add character. I reshaped it to resemble the Tyler model I used to have. Flattened the brim and pinched and lowered the front crown.

I've always admired your Maclachans, Max. Great liner on that one.

What's that white fuzzy stuff covering the ground and speckling your hat, Jim?

Mom always told me it was the angels having a pillow fight.

I grabbed this Lion Hats off the rack more than once this week

Mom always told me it was the angels having a pillow fight.

My missus told me that she's terrified of thunder. Her mother's reassurance that it was only Jesus moving his furniture never helped, nor did it convince her anything to the contrary. She's still scared whitless whenever there's a storm.

I’m glad it fits, Bob. What do you think of the hat and build quality?

My immediate impression is that it's a nice one Brent. It's a tad too big, but I made up the difference by wearing a bandana underneath. I might try padding it to see how that does. I'll report back on the dimensions and other details after it's "spa day" (or when I find time to steam and brush it more).

It also was advertised as green and appeared so in the auction photos. It may have been their indoor lighting, but I'm seeing brown. Maybe when we have more sunlight I'll amend that.

Looking forward to reading more about it after the spa day
If it’s too big for you, I’ll try to think of someone who could be willing to do you a favor and take it off your hands

I've used my long weekend to attack a project that we've talked about for a while, we are building a shed. It's been a while since I built anything like this, but it's actually been enjoyable. My Shudde Bros. 3X and my Beaver Brand 5X have pulled work hat duties this weekend.

 

[drmaxtejeda]

Great hat! It always makes me smile when you post here, Max.

Abrazos, Brent!

You made me remember mine, Jim! Thanks! It is most mothers who are the angels.

I've been wearing my Campdraft a lot lately. It's easier to wear than a western.

Mayfair in Central London is just about the most expensive real estate in the UK, I say just about because there's a strip of coastline about a forty minute drive from where I live called Sandbanks. The property there is so expensive the place is dubbed Mayfair-on-Sea.

This is Compton Acres, Sandbanks. The doorway in the middle leads to various small businesses, including my tailor. This morning I collected a repaired suit, all those tables you see were packed with diners enjoying some rare sunshine after all the rain that we had.
My Gamble & Gunn hat seem to be attracting quite a bit of attention:

But my tailor appeared having seen me on his CCTV. He laughed when I said the hat is creating a stir.
"Your hat is fabulous," he said, "but what they are all looking at are those baggy trousers that Tina has so excellently crafted for you."
He wasn't wrong, as I was leaving a lady approached me, complimented me on my attire and said that she misses seeing men in such stylish hats. She, and the tailor, both made my day. You want to see those baggies? This is a hat thread, remember. Oh go on then:

If you noticed the hat colour difference well done you. The last photo is recycled,
but it's the best to show off the trousers.
And why did I mention Sandbanks? My tailor isn't cheap, then again his small showroom
comes at a Sandbanks premium price, but he is very good. I just wish he learned millinery
and while he was at it being a Cordwainer would be another favourable string to his bow.

Love those baggy trousers , spectators and sports coat! They compliment the hat perfectly.

A most generous compliment, thank you.

My first hat on this two hat day was my Tirard Ragondia that came to me from Stefan.
I never take selfies, so I’m not much chop at it, and I was in a hurry, so this’ll have to do.

Photos of the second hat later tonight or tomorrow.
