What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[TimmyV]

I think the pencil curls gives it just that bit of extra, Tim. And yours are well executed too. The long hair finish drew my eye right away. Very cool hat.

Thanks for the compliment on the pencil curl. I have enjoyed experimenting with them and really like the results too !

42 degrees and feels like fall.. Lets pick an Autumn hat for the morning. To make it fun lets do before and after pictures

My favorite little lightweight Orange Stetson with green ribbon and edge binding. Its come a long way since it arrived all crunched up in the ebay box with paint spots and oil stains

OR.... a heavier Stetson 4x Cowboy Conversion. There wasnt anything wrong with this hat... It was just not my style originally

The weekend is in full swing here and I've been out and about this morning delivering a birthday card to one of my grand daughters. She didn't know what to think about my choice of hats this morning and said it was one of the BIGGEST hats she had ever seen ! Lol.
Resistol Stagecoach line from the late 70's complete with another pencil curl brim. The brim of the hat was still wet from the process when the pictures were taken but has since dried out with no discoloration. Normally those macrame headbands that were popular back in the day just plain ol mess a hat up in my opinion but this one isn't too bad to my eye.

A hat for a professional appointment

Dunn & Co "proudly" made in the UK, that's what the sweatband says, more or less, but I have some doubts about the felt that seems to have been supplied by some European manufacturer

But you never know what happened in the making of hats in ancient times

The hat is very well finished with high quality components and fits like a glove, so it is among those that remain in Verona, despite the very specific desire to lighten my collection

Happy Saturday to all of you and congratulations on your hats that I recovered after two days of absence

Looks great on you Daniele

So we’ve gone from “nothing special” to the Stetson Special and both are looking quite special.

That is one serious hat, Tim.

 

[mayserwegener]

Our old customer had very specific tastes. Wonderful!

Yes indeed!

 

[Blare]

Thanks Joe.
Sorry if I repeat myself, but you have something interesting to show every day

Thank you very much Daniele.

Wowzers!

Thanks David

Makes you look 10 years younger, Joe.

nothing like truth in advertising LOL

Great colours and a brim curve with panache; excellent, Joe.

Thank you kind sir.

This silly Thoroughbred 10X in honor of my granddaughter’s visit. The band is a child’s concho belt in Mexican silver.

 

[mayserwegener]

One Hückel to rule them all...!

Stefan, Thank you! Looking forward to your weekly series of fantastic hats!

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Looks great on you Daniele

Thanks Joe. Yours last Mallory Ten is a star!

Never one to disappoint, your hat is marvelous !!
I love the velvety look of the felt and you always have a mischievous grin on your face that makes my day !!

Thank you. I try to do my best and as I get older I am less prosecutable than when I was a bad boy

 

[Daniele Tanto]

VERY handsome hat, Daniele, and that scarf is awesome!

Thanks. I'll try to show you other scarves and foulards, maybe coordinated with the hats.
I have a hollow one and others have arrived in inheritance

 

[mayserwegener]

That's a beauty

Don, Thanks! Great looking Stetson "The Stetson Special" from you today!

My kinda hat !!

 

[BobHufford]

My kinda hat !!

Thanks — mine too Timmy! Not my wife’s thinking at all though. I figure if I tie it to the granddaughter’s visits it will be a future heirloom (“grandfathered in” so to speak).
