What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[alanfgag]

Everyone needs at least one little black dress hat. Simple, but with something special, like a bow that is frayed coming and going. This one celebrated its centennial some years back.

I've been jonesin' to wear this one for awhile, but it was buried pretty deep in Mt. Boxmore and I was too lazy to dive in for it.

Dobbs Hanover Square.

A picture sent to me today... a hat I wore today quite a few years ago. Hat is unknown but maybe my Disney Gadabout? I often pick that one for travel.

I miss his posts also. He could pull off any array of outerwear and make it look cool.

I'm wearing my new Superior Hats panama this afternoon. It was delivered today, fresh off the plane from Colombia. It is their fino brown panama hat body, the crown is right at 4" at the crease and the brim is about 3 1/8". I had them give it a bit of an Aussie style.

Very nice hat! I’ve been looking at their offerings since you gave me the lead.

It is only my second panama, the other being my Mayser, so I dont have a lot to compare it to. I like it though, and Andres was good to communicate with. The hat did end up with a little bit different dimensions than we had discussed, but it fits quite well, and he definitely got the style I was after.

Cap day!

I'll speak for myself here - I don't think you can go wrong with a Stetson Hemp in any style they make. I've got three, including the Stratoliner. It has a nice limber feel that keeps its shape, is well ventilated, responds very well to a good steam if you want to change anything, and seems about as indestructible as a straw can be. It's nice in every way.

Ventilation and polymer (nice way of saying plastic) fibers notwithstanding, Florentine Milan is a good-looking and durable hat with an attractively lower price point. I find the ventilation to be adequate but based on others' posts your mileage may vary. I wear my FM Latte around town on hot and humid days and I enjoy having it.

My verdict: Florentine Milan will get the job done, but I think that if you can buy the hemp Strat and still put food on the table then you'll probably like it better.

By the way, that's a great-looking Open Road you've got there.

Thank you so much for this great advice.

Very nice! I’ve been in the market for a good straw for some time but I can’t seem to find one available in my size that really suits me. Superior Hats may be the ticket!

It has been rather warm here in Elsinore the past couple of weeks, so no hat shots lately. The temperature cooled down enough this evening for me to be able to go for a walk in my Stetson OR.

Had to take it off half way, though
