What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Whippet Thursday.

Cheers, Eric -

Beautiful selection as usual ! First Whippets I've ever seen with Whippet on the leather sweatband instead of the liner.

First I saw a Whippet with a wind cord. Wow.

Then I noted the second Whippet with a wind cord, and that the first wind cord was contrasting. Two double wows.

Finally I saw a 3X Royal Stetson Whippet. What?!?! Triple wow to the third power!

My mind is totally blown.

I am currently muttering a few lines to that Disney song....
"A whole new world...
A fresh exciting point of view..."

Eric’s collection is impeccable.

Here a less commonly seen variation of the Vagabond school of lightweight travel friendly hats... the Gadabout has some of the nice fashion panache that Disney often brought to the table. I would guess WWII era for this one.

I wore my new Stetson No. 1 Quality today. I had to pick up some materials for a project at a small saw mill, it was in a beautiful area! I always thought a 3 1/2" brim was too big for me, but this hat is everything I wanted a vintage western to be.

I tend to stay around 2-1/2" brims, but I do have some bigger 3-1/2 to 3-1/2 brims too... they all have their place on the wall ( and on my head in sunny weather).

This morning I'm going with a hat I showed yesterday in the ebay victory thread. The "new" hasn't worn off yet so I wearing it again today. Royal DeLuxe Stetson Twenty Open Road that was pretty beat up looking in the ad but cleaned up nice. The Bickmore foaming hat cleaner turned the thin ribbon hatband to a rose tint but no worries, I kinda like it that way as it sets this one off from my other OR hats.

Friday Fake Whippet day! This is a more recent vintage Melton that I converted a couple years
back. I gave a little upturn to the bow work. If you can't find or afford a vintage Whippet, you gotta try and make your own version of one.
