What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[StoryPNW]

Beautiful day at work here in the PNW. It's just cool enough to wear my Akubra Stockman, I just pulled the liner out of it hoping to extend it's wearability into the summer a little.

I am in awe of that look. The suit is incredible but that overcoat is next level! The hat seals the deal perfectly!
Pure inspiration in these photos.

Tina is into making my hat band adornments. It's looks a bit big, but don't you dare tell her that I said that.

Thanks, Robert. As for the adornments; bit of flamboyance can't hurt, can it?

My very first custom hat, a 50s style OR in homage to Harry Truman. Of course I love it: the felt is light, it's soft, it's easy to bash, I don't intend to steam it because I like the soft, pinch, hey it's the 50s and I'm doing it myself look. I think I've found my styl;e of hat, I'm getting in line for another color. Too much fun.

Great hat! You sound like me. I got back in line right after I received my first.

Hch. Klipper Offenbach a. M. "Extra Quality" possibly early 1900s. This Wool Stiff Felt has a very interesting Form and Brim work. The original ribbon was damaged so I decided to buy some Mokuba (Japan) Silk ribbon which turned out to be a great match. I contacted Bob at Black Sheep Hat Works (BSHW) and he graciously accepted to install the new ribbon / bow. Unfortunately when the Stiff Felt arrived at BSHW the box had been crushed and the Stiff Felt had major crown dents. Bob did a masterful job of fixing the dents, cleaning up the felt and installing the new ribbon / bow. The bow design matches the original so of the time period. Here is a link if you want to take a look at what happened. I found this Wool Stiff Felt back in 2017.

I know you like them tall and wide, Brent, but the dimensions of that Plains suits you very well.
