What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Hat and Rehat]

My most favorite example of a montecristi blocked in the natural (optimo) style. Age (or a camel?) has broken a straw of the hat's back, but its spirit remains unbroken. Kinda like me. This hat was shared with me some years back by an esteemed Lounge member.

That's a true 'WOW'. Absolutely beautiful.

Born & raised in Milwaukee and still a Packers fan. But, I sold my snow shovel and left there in 1971 when I joined the Air Force, after 22 yrs in the military I discovered places to live that I liked more. Go Pack Go, still a cheesehead through and through.

What did you get for the shovel?

That's really nice, Bob!
Is the inside as nice as the outside?

Thanks! Not real exciting on the inside. Cloth sweat.

Good to see you back John. Nice hats!!

Thanks!
Nice to be back with folks that appreciate a good hat. Or lots of them...

 

[moehawk]

Very nice!
Pin a string to your block. It works everywhere, not just in Chi-town.

Thanks!
I have done the string trick. It does work well.

Excellent Bob. You wear the OR so well.

It's true! I lost over 60 lbs. a few years back, and went down one hat size. Others have had the same experience with big weight drops.

When my green/gray M&K Custom Hatters of LA got too big, I put a few pounds back on so it would fit again. Got to have priorities.

I may have to rethink this diet I'm on. I can't afford to replace my hats.

Rain in the area for this morning so my MSCD drew duty.

They are good in the rain aren't they. Love those hats.

It won't happen until you get closer to your "ideal" weight. For me, that was at about 20 over that weight. Good luck, Scott.

Keep eating!!

Sometimes there’s an air if snobbery and elitism here. The more common hats certainly have a place and deserve more attention here. I think there are a lot of hat enthusiasts who don’t contribute here because they don’t have coveted vintage or custom hats. Like you, I’ve found a place in my collection for more humble/common hats.

I really like cloth sweats when the temp is 100+ at least my forehead likes it.

I like it, and the band is really nice.
