What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[RickP]

Busy morning....Headed 50 miles over to Lufkin to look at new truck tires this morning. Also picked up a new framing nailer so I can finally get the back patio roof repaired. Most importantly I finalized a horsetrade at the archery shop for a big new 36x36 bow target for the yard. Seemed like a good old hat day. This ones an older Moose River ... think Ive had it since the 80s. It was well worn and floppy so I added the brim binding so it holds its shape better.

I have recently been on a Stetson kick and acquired 1 Stetson Temple in black and 1 x Stetson Pinnacle in Caribou. All in 7-3/4

Another day- another Moose River...Felts mostly decent on this one, but had to replace the rotted sweatband. Also salvaged the band and liner off another donor hat. Basically took three hats to make one lol . At least it looks complete again

I should clarify… the photos were taken by my wife lol - although I suppose since she doesn’t give me a hard time about my hats she gets partial credit for that too.

R. & M. Wegener "Start" possibly early 1930s. The Felt is a fantastic mélange with a fine Rauh finish + soft hand. It has a hidden stitched over welt curled Brim (popular in the time period) with Back Bow. I found this Soft Felt back in 2020.

A rare gem, Steve. Style, felt, finish: it's all there!

A week of repeats this Sunday. With blazing temperatures during the week (it's supposed to be the cool north here!) straw was the only option.

My coffee hat of the day is one of my old favorites. An older Houston Tx American Hat Co 4x felt ( late 70s/ early 80s?). Fairly light for a western so its fine for the morning warmth

I love this thing. How tall is the crown? Nice bow as well.

 

[RickP]

its 5-1/2"crown as it sits. Prob a full 6" when popped out to open crown. Ive always been a fan of the wider Campaign ribbon bow. This 7/8" ribbons about a 1/4" wider than the original ribbon... I like the wider look
