What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Gary in NC]

Traded the backdrop of the lake for the Snoqualmie River by taking a short jaunt into town and walking down to the park. It is another gorgeous Spring day.

The 50x Beaver Hufvud Bogart in Emerald Grey was my lid of choice. This is probably my favorite hat. It is crazy comfortable and gets more compliments than my other hats. Or maybe it gets more compliments simply because I wear it more often. Hmmm...

I keep forgetting to reach out and ask if youve ever seen an Akubra Boomerang? I picked one up a couple weeks back and its got a lot of potential as a good outdoorsey hat. This ones currently sporting a bit of a western flare but Im considering doing a little bit of brim flattening. With your username, one of there would be a great fit lol

Thanks Gary! All 4 of my Hufvuds are terrific, but this is the top dog.

I think that makes us "former neighbors," Rick. I'm just south of Duvall.

No, I've not seen this model before. That's a sharp-looking hat. That looks like a nice tall crown, and I have a soft spot for medium shades of brown. That leather band suits the hat perfectly. I might have to keep my eye open for one of those.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, an afternoon on a patio with tequila, chips & salsa, queso, friends & a 1990 Worth - Walden 15X until the sun got too hot. Then the fun continued inside.

Indeed! Been all around your area... One of my hobbies was loading up a bunch of camera gear and driving around forest service roads looking for interesting places. Slid down an icy Snoqualamie Pass many times with a speeding semi on my bumper... Fun times

Simply splendid, HJ.

I really like that - is it mid 60’s?

Always amazes me how many really decent hats were from JCPennys, Searsand Roebuck, and Montgomery Wards.
Ive thought it would be fun to decode who actually made them

VERY sharp, Randall!!!

Thanks, guys!
I’m thinkin this one is from mid to late 60s
And possibly built by Resistol.
