Wearing the Royal Stetson OR this Sunday a.m. Everyone's sporting some nice looking lids, btw.

Some Dion DiMucci

Inspired and with some tips from @KarlCrow,

cool, my youngest brother and family visited from cork this weekend and the hatwall was the most talked about feature of the house, took less than an hour to make. The pantry that took me months and is a copy of one from our childhood got a one liner.

Nice and casual. The hat goes great with it all.

thanks for the compliment

Beautiful piece in great condition

Resistol Stagecoach in Cordova Brown.

Doesn't it look good?
Am I suspicious? Nooooo....

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Great minds think alike.

That was the Top Money in Mink, not the Turkey Creek in Cordova.
I'm not used to the old iphone 4 camera.

It is darn hot in India today! Resting with the FED IV after a night at the burning ghats in Varanasi.

Great looking hat, John. It has that vintage look and the wide ribbon to top it all off. What's not to like?

Thanks Stefan!
The only thing not to like is that I don't have one in a rich dark brown...but I keep looking!

I rarely post in this thread because I'm not that keen on selfies, but I did promise Steve (Mayserwegener) that I'd post a few headshot with velours hats and I still had to make good on the promise to post a headshot of me wearing the Hückel Standard. So I'll make it a "choose a hat day".

And a special Brim up for Bob (nobody does it like he does though). Counting the days.

Which one shall I wear today?

I like them all, but my vote is for the Danubia. Great bunch of hats!

 

[jlee562]

Stefan, the Hückel gets my vote!

I'm cheating, because this was yesterday, but Terry's OR nudged me. Out and about at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass fest in Golden Gate Park.




3x OR, late 40's-early 50's, embroidered last drop liner.

Navy Borsalino this morning.

Navy day! As a USAF Vet, I will tolerate Navy this way. Great Borsalino Bob.

Gannon Executive this morning.

Best, Eric -

Still loving the "Executive" (perfect name). I stole the detail shot of the Shark's Gill, I will tell Mike Gannon...this!

Haven't worn this 3X *** Club in quite awhile. Seems a good choice for this cool and sunny morning.

Damp out here this morning. Almost forgot what dew was this summer.

Have a fine day,

Love the brim, keeps the sun out of your eyes and the dew off your lily.

Happy Sunday, all!

Great one, Karl. Seeing that one made me decide I don't have enough blue hats.

Very nice, Bob. I like that ribbon treatment. Very different to what we normally see.

Gannon Executive this morning.

Best, Eric -

Awesome is the term that comes to mind.

 

[steur]

Man, those are all great hats. And you look great under every one of them. Tough Choice.

Michael

Michael, thanks. Seems like all the hats are in need of some attention so I decided to take them in circulation this week.

 

[steur]

+1 I agree entirely!

Jeremy, thanks!

Which one shall I wear today?

I would say, wear them all, switching hourly. My vote is for the Hückel if only one.
Spending as much time on a college campus as I do, I have developed a theory about the Lounge "Selfies". I think there is a vast difference between the typical Narcissistic Teeny Boppers taking a selfie in front of every part of their life and our sharing of fine men's hats. We take a selfie with the purpose of sharing a fine fedora with the hat being the star of the photo. Although I enjoy seeing my fellow lounger's faces, my eye always goes to the hat in question first. Our selfies serve a higher purpose, rather than those young folks saying..."dig me!!!"

Wormser.

Inspired and with some tips from @KarlCrow, I got some hooks and tennis balls and put the main use hats up. My wife was OK with it so long as I did not move the picture of my kids. There are a few more (like the Mode Edge) which I keep in a bag until use.

Very nice display Christophe! The picture of the kids only enhances the experience of your eye scanning left to right. Nice Wormser too.

Absolutely my favorite of your hats. Not a typical cattleman crease OR. Love how you have transformed this beauty.

I think that hat selfies are a good thing as it gives a sense of proportion of the hat, but also allows the hat to take on some of the personality of the wearer; please do not be « shy », you have a phenomenal collection.

Christophe, thanks. Well said. It's not that I am shy but it's more that I find it hard to do the hats enough justice with a selfie.

thanks guys (-: red, camera on new phone likes the blue, and captures it better

Mike, thanks. Like Christophe said: it does serve a purpose (to see a hat in context) and it is just because of that I struggle with them a bit. I find it hard to do the hats justice with my selfies. I'll practice more...
