What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Daniele Tanto]

Wegener, Paper Label missing, possibly mid 1920s to later 1920s. Fantastic Felt with a very soft hand. Over Welt Brim with Hidden Stitch, Tall Crown with Wide Band, Crown Tip Patch survived. Found this hat back in September 2014.

Sublime!

Walkabout in an Akubra Camp Draft. A quick rain shower passed. The hat and I are dry upon our return home. This CD is the Fedora Lounge version of years ago (2.5" brim on a bluegrass hat). I removed the liner as I have used the hat for hard chores, weather and in use the liner made the hat too hot. Rain and weather has the leather sweat showing thru the felt on the outside. I need to work the hat on a block with some steam.

Home and grilling some breakfast wearing a Champ Featherweight fedora.

Ahhh a quiet Sunday morning. I have yet to hear or see other humans. Eric -

It is a cool early morning for a dog soiree. A Penny's Marathan (sage hued felt) was my hat choice.

Good morning all. Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -

Love those Penny’s

 

[Blare]

Nice work, Joe. Patience and steam will get it to where it needs to be.

Excellent!

Thanks Stefan.

I have completed the yard chores on my list before the hot afternoon sun. My Shudde straw hat worked hard. It goes on the block to dry and get some steam to reshape the brim later this upcoming week.

Best, Eric -

Relying on the count of montecristi weaves as the standard of quality is a bit like judging a violin by its strings. Each hand woven Panama goes through a lot of fine tuning to play its music... the weaver's skill harmonizing with a hatter's blocking. A lot of opportunities for wrong notes. A fine montecristi is truly a thing of beauty. It is also quite heavy and dense - perhaps not the most comfortable choice for a hot, humid day. Here is one sold under the Cavanagh brand, 11 vueltas, nicely woven and handsomely finished as you would expect from this premier brand. A happy solstice to all my hat friends!

What does eleven vueltas mean, Alan?

Hi friends.

Just checking in to show that I'm still around

Wore my Royal Stetson OR today on this dull day in Denmark.

I have a lot of catching up to do.

Hope all are well.

Classic panama look; hard to beat, Michael.

Thanks Stefan. I like it so much I went with it again today.

That is one fine collection of lightweight felts. I'm not sure I have even one that goes under 100 g.

It rained a bit while we were in services this morning. It stopped before the end of services so my new Northwest Straw stayed dry. Happy Father's Day ya'll.

Love that hat. Ah, the joys of having a one-of-a-kind.

 

[mayserwegener]

Exquisite, Steve. Love the vents; very unusual for a Hückel I believe.

Magnificent, Steve. Love it.

Very nice, Steve. Not too many early Tonaks to be found.

Stefan, Thank you!

Great series of mostly Italian light weight felts by you this past week! I very much appreciate seeing the weight of each hat!
