What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Snortman45]

I had planned on wearing my new Stetson Reward Shantung hat today, but it was raining and I didn't want it to get wet. Hopefully will be able to wear it this weekend some. When I do I'll take (and post) a picture.

Wegener "Seal" probably mid 1950s.

So sublime, Steve

On the occasion of my 10,000 post, I look back over the past few years with great appreciation for this community. My hat obsession has developed like a fine wine. I'm a wino...
It all started with graduation from Oregon State with a B.A. in History. My wife thought I should have a "signature" Historian hat. We bought a Scala wool stingy. I found the Lounge through a simple
Google search of Fedora. Over 100 hats later... I am a "collector" (Hoarder?).
I want to thank all of you for being so tolerant of my "obsessive posting" over the past couple of years.

Echter Borsalino "Sanboca" date stamped May 17, 1929. It's in NOS condition and from my May, 2015 Berlin Echter Borsalino find.

It's a good thing I was sitting down when I saw this hat! That has got to be a new dimension of cool.

Enjoying a Summer Shandy on the patio with my Poet:

Nice sharp creases on both of these.

Thanks Justin. Loved you hat and photos from Bode. Great stuff.

We've been having a string of cool nights and mornings turning into fairly warm afternoons. The forecast seems to say that is over and it will be hot from morning til night now. I'll miss the cool mornings.

Another super hat show Stefan. Great hats all.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks, Michael!

c.1940s Crofut & Knapp in a beautiful blue heather mix.

Outstanding hat, Justin. An object of desire so to speak (and that's putting it mildly).

Back to some warmer, drier weather today. Wearing the Frunoberger.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

That'll do just fine, thank you. Excellent crease, Jim.

Light grey D'Aquino today. Same recipe as yesterday. Rain in the morning, sun in the afternoon.

Very nice, Sergej. I like the colour combination.

Lovely straw and love the shirt as well. As to head shrinking, that seems to have happened to me as well, but that is not a bad thing when running after nice hats and more affordable price vs bigger (size) heads .

Thanks Windsock. I wouldn't mind a little head shrinkage if I was in the market for hats at the moment, but it's kind of a pain when my favorite ones get too big.

Besides the cool name, I sure like the lines of this straw. Really a sporty look with that jacket today.

Thanks Red. Congrats on your many posts and hat show. And thanks for all of your kind comments.

Same here, but I know it's because I've been having my hair cut shorter over the last year. Fortunately my hats still fit, but a few of 'em are a little looser now.

Hair thinning could be playing a part for me. I think I seem to be shrinking in the foot parts too.

very excellent Hopoka Michael, and the spectators are pretty nice too

Thanks Richard. The spectators are some vintage Freeman's that I picked up a couple of months ago. Finally getting the proper weather to wear them.

This is a great looking straw- nice pics!

Thanks Jeff. Great looking Texas Hatters bowler you are sporting today.

Thanks all,
Michael

Trip to PDX today to drop off a paper. Stopped by the Oregon Rail Heritage Museum (not open, damn). Wearing a Cappas Bogart straw in front of a vintage 36' Northern Pacific wood caboose.

Good straw weather. Nice pug on that one, Mike.

 

[steur]

Nice looking hat Red. And it reminds me that I need to make a paisley pug.

Thanks Red. I stayed cool until the last leg of the ride home. The Dobbs served me well and I'm sure it was see a lot of scenery this summer. I gave it a rest when I got home and changed to the Melvin Panama.

I swear I think my head is shrinking. Ever heard of such a thing?

Have a great afternoon,

Splendid panama, Michael. Usually heads need specialist help to shrink, but who knows...

That is a gorgeous colour, Harv. Love it.

Time to pull my boater out for a first wearing of the year.

No brand name, says only Made in Italy on the sweat. It looks like it's missing a glue on tag on the tip liner.

Hope it's still stable on the bike, what with my shrinking head and all.

Have a great Friday,
Michael

After a much enjoyed vacation, I’m headed back to work tonight wearing a Brent Black with a VS ribbon treatment.

Can't think of a single thing wrong with that hat (and the rest of the outfit). Excelsior.

Beautiful, Steve. Nice lines and colours and the bow is wonderful.

You're going from strength to strength, Mike. Your kindness and enthusiasm is an example for us all. Onwards to the next hundred!
