What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

We had rain most of the night but now things are starting to clear up and I have a few errands to run. Decided to go with this Royal Stetson Whippet in Dove Gray ... figured you can't go wrong with a Whippet, right ?

Nice one, Timmy!

 

[Pellie]

Gorgeous both inside and out! Does it have a green cast to it, or is that just a trick of the lighting?

It has a touch of green in it indeed. A very rare color imho.

Happy hot Saturday, hatsters! Cavanagh Milan guessed to be from the later 1950s.

I’ll always thank Dale for this one!!

Looking good Charlie.

Thanks, Joe!
Just trying to keep up with your hats, but lately I fail.

Incidentally, I was talking “Pro Wrestling” with my barber yesterday, a man slightly younger than me. He was totally aware of your grandfather, and said EVERYONE should remember and respect Buddy! He knew his entire history!!

Removed the glued on “leather” band and added a bit of colour

I wore my Superior Hats wide brim panama to go to the Farmer's market and run some errands with my wife this morning.

Despite another 90 degree day, I am still rocking the felt. This time, it's my vintage brown Carson Pirie Scott & Co fedora paired with my shades and vanilla bean guayabera.

I know the feeling! Some days I just feel like a more substantial hat regardless what the temp is!

Exactly, I own a straw but I cannot choose it over my felts no matter how high the temps.

VERY schnazzy, Rob!

Thanks Mark, the color really pops in the sun

Out with my son for a cool drink in my 10X Stetson OR.

It is nice to be back home after a long road trip through Washington, Oregon and Idaho. It was nice and cool (and a bit rainy) in Portland and Eugene but was downright apocalyptic in eastern Oregon and southern Idaho with all the heat, fires, and smoke.

My son had a productive orientation at the University of Oregon and I was able to visit Northwest hats and had a nice chat with the shop owner Mike. If it all goes as planned I’ll be in Eugene for a couple times a year for the next few years so I think it makes sense to get in the queue for a new hat ;-).

The hat, the food, and the scenery, ALL look awesome, Nathan!

What a grand adventure Nathan, and happily your photos are present and spectacular

I was beginning to wonder if you had made it!!!!
Great to see that all is well!!!

Good to see you safe and sound, Nathan.

What with the hat, cap, food, and scenery, I'm well jel already

Glad all is going well… internet aside

Thank you gentlemen!

The internet is still too slow to allow me to view photos on TFL. Not sure when this situation will change.

In case anyone’s wondering, I did finally remove the liner from my Fed IV. I just couldn’t breathe in that polyester thing anymore. I guess my hat’s gonna look pretty beat up sooner than I had anticipated, but that’s also okay - I brought it along to take a licking.

Here we are at breakfast this morning. This is a typical working class breakfast in Malaysia at an outside coffee shop called a “Kopitiam” (coffee = Kopi). The half-boiled eggs are eaten with pepper and soy sauce.

The street I live on is called colloquially “Harmony Street.” It has the oldest working mosque in Melaka, the oldest working Chinese temple in Malaysia, AND the oldest working Chitty (Hindu) temple in Malaysia and possibly in all of Southeast Asia.

An incredibly diverse area, I can walk down my street at any given hour of the day and easily hear at least seven vastly different working languages, not to mention all the various tourist languages.

Here is a shot down Harmony Street from the balcony of a relatively modern Buddhist Temple. The Chinese Temple compound is in the foreground on the right and in the middle background can be seen the mosque minaret. The Hindu temple is immediately next to the mosque - their evening calls to prayer go off at exactly the same time and create a cacophony of instruments, voices and deities that is deeply resonant on Harmony Street.

I feel truly at home in this wonderful place.

Happy Sunday friends.

Where's Steur this morning? You're late Stefan, Tina & I are missing the hats.
This lovely straw is one of a number that I bought from former Lounger, Esther Weis. The hat had lost it's shape somewhat but leaving it packed with foam sponge overnight has given it's appearance a new lease of life, perfect for church today.

Congrats—my son is applying to college this year!

Sunday morning coming down and this Bradford 3X Beaver Quality open crown hat in Mushroom Brown with tone on tone brim edge binding and Pewter ribbon hatband got the nod today.
