What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Randall Renshaw]

Only flat brimmed hat I’ve ever had.
Not sure it’ll stay this way.
Early/mid 60s Stetson 3X in a light cream color I’ve never seen on a western.
Was very dirty and had a cattleman’s crease so it wasn’t easy getting the dirt off the raised crease area on a light colored. Still dirty here and there, but we’ll call it character and real world patina.

 

[Randall Renshaw]

I'm wearing my Jack Lord Paramount again, this hat is really growing on me after Randall's restoration. The shape of the brim has some serious personality now, and a nice new sweat.

Ive got a couple 60's flat brim Open Roads that have really grown on me over time. One still has a cattlemans crease, and the other has a more ferora-ish side dent. Nice change from the normal western or snap brims

Great looking Stetson 3X, Randall. The colour really stands out in that glorious sunshine.

I agree with Rick: I'd keep it flat brimmed. But it's your hat, so I'm sure whatever you decide, I know it will look good, my friend.

Really, rally nice afternoon here! Hanging around outside with a turquoise Hemp Stratoliner, one of my favorite shirts (poor shirts about 20 yrs old and starting to look grey) , and big bloody maria ( out of vodka so its made with spiced rum) AND ITS A NEW PIPE DAY! Got a new big ol Peterson B42 in today. nice big apple shaped bowl. Burning up a first bowl of Boswells Northwoods... Life is GOOD!

Love that sky blue colour with the contrasting ribbon and brim binding, Dave.

The classic vintage Fedora shape is a credit to Robert @belfastboy 's craftsmanship.

Thanks, fellas!
Might see how it grows on me, or I may sell it as is and see how much the next owner likes it!
I’m not sure I want a cream colored western.
I love my cream colored Vogue, though!!

Supposed to be 80 today, and I have a new pipe arriving today so Im planning to plant my rear in the sun, make a big bloody Mary and fire the pipe up. Im Soooo glad spring looks to be here

Holy smokes... that came out nice !!
* A lil pencil curl would set that brim off right nice.

It's been awhile since this Mallory Excellent Quality Pliafelt came out to play . The Gray Green Heather felt with Khaki whip stitching on the hatband really compliment each other nicely I think.
