What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Snowman]

Recently acquired Viquez straw from Mexico. It was an impulse buy out of curiosity, but I rather like it.

Panama…that’s all I know:

New Hemp Stratoliner in cognac. Really liking it.

That's a nice looking hat. I always liked the look of those Rosebuds but previously, I believe they were constructed of "Florentine Milan" as the Strats had been. I had a FM Start at one point, and hated it, as the treated weave made it feel like I was wearing a plastic bucket on my head.

I have a couple of hemp Milans I really like, so I think I'll take a look at those, now. Thanks!

Thank you. Honestly, I think hemp has become my favorite straw. It’s perfect for hot and humid North Carolina summers where there’s a risk of a rain shower just about every afternoon. I’m telling myself I won’t be buying any more this season.

I'm not wearing it just yet but I will be real soon when I put it together. A Dobbs Western Conversion in the process that a generous Lounger sent to me. It's reblocked, the brim cut down to 2 3/4. The felt's been thinned and pounced to a smooth suede finish for a vintage feel. It dry creases real easy. I'm still trying to decide on the kind of crease I want. I'll do a dimensional brim on this so it doesn't look like it has wings when I flange it and snap the brim down.

Looks like it wants a center dent!!!!

I believe you're right! I thought I heard it telling me that same thing!

JC Penney Marathon for Wednesday at work.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

A wore a Gannon Beachcomer during my morning walkabout. Temps have dropped along with the humidity and felt hats are comfy.

Morning coffee under the brim of a Mallory Ten.

Re-setting the sprinkler heads in the lawn while wearing a Stetson OR 3X.

Cheers, Eric -

Western NC didn't get out of the 60's with clouds today so I was happy to get another wear out of this Stetson Fifteen 3X. It's one of my favorites for spring and fall - so comfy.

Strat for another day of the world’s worst air quality. Good luck out there and take it easy!

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Good morning. A Mallory Dallas was the hat for my a walkabout.

I enjoyed morning coffee in a malleable felt. The Borsolino thin ribbon hat will take a crease with the lightest of touch.

Cheers, Eric -

Taking the 4th graders on an overnight trip. Day one was a visit to the Tenjinzaki headlands, a National Trust site, to check out the rock pools. We spent day two visiting a famous temple and one of the oldest soy sauce factories in Japan.
A hat was required to match today’s sportswear and tomorrow’s regular work wear, and to cope with scorching weather today and rain tomorrow. I decided my Akubra Snowy River would be up to the task.

As it turned out, it was far too windy for me to wear at the Headlands, and the rain only hit once we were in the bus back to school.
Four days off starting tomorrow!

Early western hat with a swell sweatband imprint.

Even a bad day at the ballpark is better than any day at work.
