What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Here's one that doesn't get much head time from me but looks cool as hell hanging on my wall. Lock and Company. St. James Street, London.

I love the binding on that brim... don't think I've ever seen that on a straw.

Also I think its funny that I find the honey color these old straws get is beautiful, but back in the day you'd bring your straw in for bleaching to get it back to its original bright color. I prefer the aged look to be honest!

You always post some amazing hats, and then take the time to add in the history of them as well. Amazing, it truly adds to my appreciation of both your hats, and your posts. Thank you

Thanks!
