What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

Sun’s coming back out in Florida so I’m giving my newsboy caps the day off and put on a Panama from David Morgan. View attachment 631788 View attachment 631789 View attachment 631790

Got another late 40s 7XCB about a month ago, and this week finished a full resto including a reblock in record time. You can see by the listing pics that even the stubborn verdigris stain came out. Mostly. Usually it doesn’t at all. Had some serious sweat stains in the front too. Wasn’t able to reuse the original 3/8 ribbon as the sweat stains didn’t budge an inch. For this hat I like this 1” even better though.

I’ve been experiencing some truly phenomenal luck lately, mostly in the matter of timing. Sometimes you happen to go surfing (or are given a heads-up to do so) JUST as something has been posted, and pouncing on it is as easy as falling off a log. Case in point is my latest fedora, this Portis. It checks all the boxes: 2 & 5/8” bound-edge brim, handsome 4" crown, grosgrain ribbon, and a wind trolley. My estimation of its vintage is late 1950s. The band is admittedly a little rough, but I think I can nurse it along for whatever number of years I'm going to manage to stick around.

Have a great day!

My first fedora was cleaned/steamed at that shop in 1975. It was still in operation when I was a more naive college boy. I wish I knew then…

 

[VoodooSan]

Somehow, I think you managed to credit me with your compliment. In any event, thanks, Randall!

 

[VoodooSan]

Great look! You are on a roll, Mark!

Thanks, Bill!

Isn't that the truth? The better ways I could have spent my money.........

 

[Blare]

Thanks Bowen. I’m trying to remember. May have been a Weezer track.

I’m finally seeing some photos on TFL and these are definitely great ones to start with. Yes, Van Morrison vibes for sure or maybe some Blues Brothers. “We like both kinds of music here: Country and Western!”

Happy birthday from Malaysia, Joe!

(Hopefully the photos will keep showing up for me….)
(Edit: no such luck. I’m back to blank screens where the photos should be. Apparently I’m only allowed to see Joe’s birthday photos….)

Thanks Nathan. Hopefully the pics make their way back.
