What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Lost Cowboy]

Where did you get that hat? It is amazing.

Thank you, sir, and welcome to the Lounge. The JBS 20 is an eBay find from 2018.

Nothing like ending the day in a nice rehabbed old Stetson with a dramatic sunset!

Steve, I'm not much of a bowler hat fan, but this one has a lot of appeal. I really like the finish on this high-class hat.

Hello Daniele, Thank you very much! Your Guerra "Soleil Finish Hat" is fantastic! I have been enjoying your series of "Specialty Finished Hats". Keep them coming! Best, Steve

Here in East Texas were a balmy 24 degrees this morning. Firepit and pipe morning! Pulled an Akubra Sidewinder off the wall today

Don't get tired of that one; gorgeous! The sun really brings out the warm colours of it.

Thank you Stefan, definitely a favorite along with its blue brother… and one I don’t think I wear enough.

Love that. Was the airplane pin included or did you add that?

Didn't realize they had such a tall crown. I may have to look for one now.

It's a Wegener Colonel for today.
It has a fine, dress weight felt, and I bought it for more formal occasions, but I find myself wearing it anytime the weather permits.

It's always a great day for a beautiful dress fedora.

Its not as tall as some of my Resistol, Stetson and American Hat Co westerns, but as my Sidewinder is shaped currently, the sides are a full 5" and the center just barely kisses the pointy part of my head. When popped out to open crown it measures a full 6-1/2" tall crown. To me its a reasonably sized bigger hat. Cant remember what the original brim size was (3-1/4"?) but I trimmed this one down to 2-3/4"

Looking back at my selfie from this morning, it appears the bleak January weather is making me weary. I decided to perk up the day with this antique velour hat. Manufacturer's labels are no longer present but I am quite certain this hat was made by Anton Peschel and from the "made in Austria" mark on the original sweatband, likely before WWI - two decades before the AP for Oviatt's hat posted earlier this week. It has traveled through a number of esteemed hat collectors - retaining its original detached sweatband for historical reference but with the addition of a new ribbon by Art Fawcett and a new sweatband. The hand of the felt is remarkable, feeling like a hat made from fur rather than from felted fur. To wear it is warming for the head and for the soul.
