A vintage Stetson derby all dressed up for carnival. I'm pretty sure it's 1920ish.

Looks comfy!

I recently gave this hat away after our intern pastor complimented it:

This Tilley winter hat has seen some use lately:

I love the ear flaps. Awesome for loading the firewood into the wheelbarrow!

Akubra Federation Deluxe. At the time it was the most accurate, off the shelf, Indiana Jones hat on the market.

It was much colder then it looked outside.

I think it still is, unless you want to spring for a custom model from one of the independent hatmakers. I have 2 Fed IVs, a dark charcoal gray and a medium gray on which I had the brim trimmed back and a matching ribbon put on for a dressier look. I need to dig out the dark gray and wear it again soon.

My hat today is this Royal Stetson from the early Sixties. Though it looks like a Stratoliner, at no point does it say that it is. This hat works with jeans and collared casual shirt, or with a suit and topcoat:

I have a very similar hat my dad picked up at Shudde Brothers in Texas in the late 50s. It's not marked a Strat but the dimensions are VERY Similar. Mine is an open crown 7x Clear Beaver.
Today I started out in my new (to me) Royal Biltmore porkpie in Navy but soon realized that it wasn't keeping me warm enough.
Switched to an Italian wool pub cap

That is a hat I'd love to wear my friend! Beautiful. And you are right, I think I could pull that off with sweats, and I don't even own sweats. I'm too lazy to sweat.

I guess I should have been more clear. English is my second language; my first language was baby talk.

I didn't give that hat away because a pastor complimented it. I gave it to the pastor.

Akubra + snow. I feel a disturbance in the force.

At least you can wear yours. I was gardening in a boonie hat today because it is too hot for mine.

A black and white wool houndstooth trilby for a walk along the levee to watch the ships.

Thrilled with today's hat. My darling wife surprised me with a Stormy Kromer Cap. Just for being a supportive pandemic partner!

New straw for my birthday. 20x American Hat Company straw with CHL brim and crown crease purchased at the outstanding Best Hat Store in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. They'll serve you a cold beer while they're shaping your hat. Andy did it up right!

@camjr that's a beauty. I love the detail on the venting.

I know this straw hat is 37 years old because I bought it on our honeymoon. It's gotten very very floppy. I stiffen the brim with a couple of coats of cheap hairspray.

Nice hat and milestone. Did the hat originally come with the camo band?

That's a great looking hat!

Though it's far too warm and humid for a felt hat today, it's also raining (which makes the air feel like tepid oil oozing on your skin). So I brought this one:



A few years ago I had Mike Miller of Northwest Hats in Eugene, Oregon, model it on a very cheap but sturdy fedora I found at Meyer the Hatter in the mid-'90s. Though I had better hats, I could never bring myself to dump the "Casablanca," as it was called. This custom was quite inexpensive compared to other customs at the time. It fitted perfectly right out of the box. He included 2 other "belts," one in dark brown and one in black, so I could switch to them if I felt like it.
