What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[bowlerman]

Noticed a lot of great Stetson *******s in the last few days.So here's the ******* that I got in a trade with Moon.

Fantastic. One of those pristine powder blue ones is on my bucket list, so to say.

Bellisimo!

The Borsalino needed no stretching, cleaning, steam, or anything, Stefan. Seems brand-new. Just put some Pecatd's antique leather conditioner on the sweatband.

I switched to my new Cavanagh this afternoon. This one didn't need anything either. Thanks, Greg!

Today....i’ll answer the question..Does that guy ever post anything but Stetsons?
Well, yeah, sitting here in a Lee thinking about Disneys and age dating them.
Anyway, awhile back, as reference to how was the felt on this model Lee, i pulled the thinnest felts i had to compare for this inquirer. I was stunned at the competition. I ended up with some Vita-felt Strats, Bantam, Flagship, Borsa etc.
I determined that in a dark room blind feel test this Lee would come up tops ALOT!

Beautiful hat, Ken, and well worth saving. Sometimes the leather of the sweat just gets separated from the reed. Usually the sweat gets repaired or replaced before it's gone completely though.

It's a really nice vintage hat and I'm not worried about it, it's just wrong for sellers to misrepresent items they sell and then play dumb about it. So, here is the response from the seller when I asked to either return the hat or them pay for the repairs: "Look at the picture, That's the way it came, what do you think every hat in the world comes with a sweatband?" lol Okay, bad review time for you bucko....

Killer hat Brent!

Good shape to that hat, Michael. Not sure about the ribbon I must admit.

Thanks Stefan. I'm not too sure about that ribbon either, but it's sort of growing on me. I am a child of the era.

I like that Hanover Square more and more. Great hat.

Thanks Stefan. Certainly one of my favorites. If I could come up with about 5 color variations of this one I'd be tempted to quit looking for more hats.

Excellence!

Thanks.

I decided I had to ride to the store so I put on this Filson hat

And a Filson double mac with some German leather foul weather pants. They all worked well.

I was dry when I got home, after an hour or so of riding in the rain.

Thanks,

Oh gawd, just shoot me now... We are in full remodel mode on our house. The wife is decision challenged at best, and we are off to the "big city" to pick out tile and appliances. I just follow behind and agree...
A good hat for this project is the NW Hats Brent OR Clone refurb. Mike cut the brim width down just a bit to get rid of some moth nibbles and put a whip stitch on for good measure. I can gaze at this detail while nodding in approval of all the different tile choices.

LOL. What a maroon. I suppose every factory hat, represented as mint with no flaws actually did come with a sweatband.

You want a pic of my Disney hat to send him?

Tell him "Guess what? No one had to pay extra for that. It came standard, as it did for EVERY fur felt hat Disney (or Stetson, Resistol, Knox, Dobbs, Cavanagh, etc, etc, etc) ever sold.

Thanks, Ken. You mix westerns and city hats very well and I’m starting to like my westerns more and more.

Wow, Brent, that's really something! How is the felt on it? It looks scrumptious!

I appreciate you posting this in light of the Disney conversation.

O my, that has me gasping for breath!

Thanks Stefan!

It’s fully western stiff, but the hand is incredible. It’s the softest non-vintage I own.

No, not original. Actually I picked the ribbon colors. I had Scott tell me when he got the right color hat I wanted. Then I choose ribbons based on the USMC Desert Uniform. I think it turned out pretty close.

Here is a picture of a young man I’ve known almost his whole life. He is hugging his mother on his return from a tour in Afghanistan. It is this uniform I was trying to match color wise.
