What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[jbucklin]

Well, the Texas weather is back to its normal scorching heat, so---its Panama time! Okay, it's only a Stetson Retro, but I like it and it's a good lid for wearing to church.

Love seeing all these straws! Great hats all!

Got a new one yesterday and have been wearing that.
Christys' Optimo crown (withadded pug).

Great hat Billy...got a detail shot of pug?

Today I am wearing my new Stetson Whippet.
Brim down, I like most of my straws that way.

RBH, I just checked a straw Whippet out yesterday at the Hatco Outlet in Garland. I tried to snap the brim down, but it was so stiff (almost brittle) I thought it would break. Did you encounter this with yours? Was it easy to soften with steam?

I did not use anything, just eased it down all around.
But yes the Whippet is stiff, but I dont mind that about it. I just think it will make it last a little longer, I wear my hats... I really mean wear!

You know you look sharp in the BW photo Redwoodjedi, so why bother with the color

Getting better and better every day! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

But the jacket makes me wonder what temperatures you have in NorCal? Yesterday it was approx. 102°F here in Berlin and a jacket like that would have killed me within twenty minutes. Like it, though (the jacket, not the temperature).

Gene, I'm assuming that Whippet is vintage. Am I correct? I really like that hat!:eusa_clap

It's been getting to about the mid 70's during the afternoon, Mario. In the mornings it is in the low 50's. I live on the coast and it is foggy every morning and cool. The jacket is perfect. Just right. It comes off in the afternoon though.

You're right, WineGuy. I post the color ones so that folks can see what the vintage clothing looked like but most here already know. So, I will post just the Film Noir shots for a while. They are fun and moody. Thanks for the tip, big guy!

Managed to lock myself out of the house today minutes before a huge rainstorm came in...luckily I was wearing my weatherproof jacket and Squatter. Found the spare key a little while later.

Yessir. I believe it to be a mid- to late '50s model.

Keep'em coming Red, the BW shot's are spot on. I don't have a full sized mirror at work nor a tripod for my camera so it's been difficult to post pics of my own.
