What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[steur]

Wow wow Wow…. You definitely did not disappoint with this new group, Stefan! I don’t even know where to begin the compliments.. wonderful hats all! Amazing the color shift on the Gulaela Lupo in different lights.

Thank you, Joe. Yes, that lupo changes quite dramatically.

Wool Hornskov Centre Dent for shopping today.

Also wore my new Dan Post western boots.

Now with no Goodyear welt, and with their rubber soles & stuff, I don’t know if they would pass the genuine cowboy test, but I am just a bloke hanging around in Japan and not doing cowboy stuff, so they’ll do. I also tried some Ropers, which may be more practical for me, but just didn’t really like the look.

They feel pretty good on, although the stiffer leather of the counter does hurt my ankle a little. That’s a problem I’ve had with short boots & slightly higher shoes before, so I’m expecting it to get better with wear, I walked for half an hour in them yesterday, and spent a couple of hours shopping in them today. Slight pain, as mentioned, but no redness or lingering pain.

Cool look, Gary. Nice wide ribbon on the Hornskov.

Mossant today!

Nice one, marcel. They knew how to make them.

Beautiful, Perry. Knox hats always have great presence.

This JBS 15 in midnight blue is one of the nicest hats in my collection. Too nice, really, since that means I don't wear it nearly as much as it deserves.

Wow!! As we used to say at my old workplace: that, sir, is the complete package!!

Had to make a doctor appointment run up the road this morning. Managed to run into a used pipe for sale while I was in the next town over. A rusticated Peterson B42 ( I have another one of these in a sandblast finish, but I like this one way better) . On the head today is one of the Stetson Stratoliners, this one in Caribou. Starting to get warmer, so I can see that it wont be long before I have to park the felts on the wall and go all straw or hemp.

Thank you very much, Robert. I wonder if Dior was speaking on men's hats, but we'll take it.

Too right we will take it Stefan, thank you very much. Yesterday I treated Tina to Sunday lunch at a rather good country inn. Following her heart surgery her surgeon told me to expect good days and bad days. The bad days have been getting less and less, but yesterday wasn't good.

Tina, bless her, didn't want to stand me up on the lunch, far from it: "Dress up for me," she said. Her condition being on my mind I forgot the photos that the lady took.

The silver tie and pocket square was a previous birthday present from my lady. She loved it, how it compliments the bespoke Gamble & Gunn grey hat. The lady has colour co-ordination down to a tee.
By the way, today she has recovered well. Many of you ask of her well being, it is much appreciated.

Tina has the right mindset (you guessed as much probably); it's important to keep enjoying the good things, especially on a bad day. You looking your best is part of that.

Great hat Nathan. I'm a huge fan of Film Noir. This one just has that look!!!
If your planning a heist anytime soon, this is the one to wear. Lol...

Gentlemen you humble me, thank you all very much. Your well wishes have all been passed onto the lady, both Tina and I appreciate your comments. Again, thank you.

Today is a BR Resistol San Antonio

It was a stiff hat for me today. This insouciant upwards bow leads me to imagine that this 1926 photo of Babbitt's might be right about the time this hat was sold.
