it's a hat day
40 degrees, fog and light rain, just in from 80 miles of errands, bank, property taxes, groceries.
Saw a few people out in ball caps, but most just getting wet, and a good brim makes so much sense.
My grandfathers were never outside without a hat - and both had heads full of hair.
So, anyway, getting out this morning, grabbed my vintage Stetson Open Road
Everybody called me sir...

Re: it's a hat day
Now that is my idea of a hat! Very dignified, no wonder they call you "Sir"!
I usually wear brimmed hats as I have fair skin and sunburn easily. A few years back I was given a couple Stetsons from the late 40's, both still brand new in the box! They look very much like your hat and I like to wear them, but they are rather soft and don't hold their shape well. I really need to find a hatter who could shape them and maybe resize slightly larger.

Re: it's a hat day
Love the hat and the fact you are comfortable wearing it tells me you are getting "up there" in age which is why they call you "sir".
I've worn brimmed hats off and on all my life but try to put them on whenever I'm out to avoid the sun as suggested by my dermatologist.

Re: it's a hat day
57, and I can look lean and racy on a bicycle.
I was at the parking lot for Russian River NFS access wearing this hat, a 40% beaver Milano - it took a lot grief on one trip to Alaska.
(this was accessing the ferry side from Sterling hwy - my buddy had to combat fish for sockeye one afternoon, so I let him get is fill)
But as I was rigging to head down to the river (a day just like today) a mouthy girl parking with her dad a few spots over said, "What are you, some kind of a cowboy." I told her I was. Her dad said, "now, this isn't a fashion show." His hat proved that.
And again, waiting for the return flight at the Anchorage airport - one of few places you stumble across trout wizard friends - 3 of my buddies from Texas were coincidentally there.
When you fly with a hat, you wear it, because it doesn't pack well. There was an NCO waiting for the same flight, who had to make an editorial, "Ah, best beaver I've seen all day." Didn't shave me a bit.

I love livin' near the Resistol factory! I need to stop in again... I stretch the "allowable" season on wearin' straw!!! And my current felt is 24 years old... and bein' a silver-belly, shows its age!
Been rode hard, landed on similarly, and pawed with grimy hands... It needs a cleanin' and reblocked! Maybe a replacement would be in order!

I need to get a good hat - my las one disappeared when I was in Iraq and I have not been able to afford one since. I don't have any hat right now.

Re: it's a hat day
I do life evaluation and analysis on power plants (gas turbines), for electric utilities and oil production
So I'm up there for a plant turnaround, never knowing exactly what my timing is going to be, but it's easy to drive down to Kenai on the spur when I get back to Anchorage. I try to plan one day with my guide buddy Brandon Maes out of Soldotna.
I've fished Ptarmigan Creek, Crescent, Quartz, of course floated the Kenai, Kasilof. Also flown across Cook Inlet to Crescent River/Lake in Clark Natl Park. I can guide the Russian from the falls down to the ferry.
My last trip, my buddy flew up and met me in Anchorage when the job was done and we had 4 great days on Kenai. But I've fished from early June into September, and even been on the slope in December.
I've also witnessed the subdividing of Kenai along Sterling Hwy over the last 15 years.

Re: it's a hat day
Some great hats guys.
Re: it's a hat day
I have a deerskin stampede string on mine. It hangs down normally, sometimes I toss the hat on my back when I dont feel like having it on, or walking through thicker stuff. I take an overhand looped knot in it to put under my chin of it gets windy. Have some graduated size silver beads on the ends for decoration. They sort of remind me of rattlesnake rattles.bulldog1935 wrote:had to point out something cool about my Open Road

Re: it's a hat day
I really like your winter hat. Is that a version of the "Rough Riders" hat, which I believe is actually 1885 US Army field hat? Or is it something else?
I have been meaning to get one of those, but without trying it on, I will not spend the money one costs.
I believe I will have to go to Gettysburg, Pa. if I want one to try on, in person.

Re: it's a hat day
I have a number, but don't wear them often enough. My favorite, er favourite, is my foreign service helmet, which must be worn when handling a Martini or Snider, or fumbling with the high wheel:
Other include an original derby, badly cracked, a campaign hat like I wore in Boy Scouts, and a couple of Stetsons. I think I would wear a hat more often if I wasn't prone to instant and hilarious hat head. A sentimental favorite is a museum-quality replica of a Hudson's Bay Company clerk's short-billed cap circa 1820, as seen in the paintings by Rindisbacher, and made for me by Canadian historian Judy McPherson.

Re: it's a hat day

your Ducks are making a showing today, too.
btw, my hair is a natural with a hat - I can knock it right down and it looks right, in fact, if I wash my hands and can't find a towel, I can knock my hands down in my hair and come out looking good.

Re: it's a hat day
I get bad hat hair. If I've been wearing a hat, I pretty much dont take it off if I'm around other humans, and wouldnt go out in public without expecting funny looks.

Re: it's a hat day
Got two Ruger ball caps for Christmas - one a 50th anniversary of the 10/22. I don't usually wear ball caps, but given my thining hair and growing bald spot, hats are going to be regular wear for me going forward!
Re: it's a hat day
I'm late to the party on this post...
Now I need to look for a lighter "summer" version too.
Old No7
But like Blaine's, mine is also a Pendleton. Glad to hear that it will wear well! My kids have only seen me in ball caps before, but my bride bought that for me to wear on our New Years Trip to the White Mountains in NH, and she says she "likes the look". It was warm and comfortable, that's for sure.BlaineG wrote:I only got one nice one....the rest are fishing, or boonie hats....It's a Pendleton, so I guess It'll be around longer than I will...I guess I've had it fifteen years so far.

Re: it's a hat day
been through a few Resistol George Strait - they end up on the lawnmower
here's where my Panama came from: http://ultrafinopanamahat.com/default.aspx
This is the hat I always take to travel or grabbing a hat to wear to the track meet
I have this Akubra hemp, it's strangely not head-shaped, but it's my go-to hat for paddling the coast flats
The straw hat I keep coming back to, though, is this Bailey crushable - it has worn really well and stands up to abuse

Re: it's a hat day
Some of you guys are buyin' higher up on the hat tree than I am. I do a Stetson Sturgis when its cool and a palm leaf from Big Bend when it's hot, both with horse hair stampede strings. (My Bailey died under Ely's hoof a few years back, so now I use strings.)
More hair on my face than head now, so no worries about "hat hair/head"!
Nath, I like that waxed coat in your picture! Always wanted one.

Enablers... the LOT of you! After looking at this thread for a couple of days, today I decided that my old Resistol "Diamond Horseshoe" needed replacing! So I did! The last one they produced according to Resistol... The old is still quite serviceable for certain uses... the new one for dressin' up!

Re: it's a hat day
The hat that started this thread, the Open Road, is still a classic. I have always wanted one, but then I would have to have a 1964 Fleetwood to wear it in. Makes me think of Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson. Wife and I got to visit LBJ's ranch on the Pedernales a couple of years ago, and took the tour. LBJ had a lot of hats and hat boxes in his closet, but most were marked Resistol. I was a bit surprised, not that a Resistol isn't a wonderful hat.

Re: it's a hat day
Resistol is a TEXAS company. Makes perfect sense that LBJ would have their hats. And, now that they've owned the JBStetson company for over 20 years... and still market hats under both brands... still with their separate "X" definitions... you can't tell the difference in quality, if you ever could. Each line has several levels of quality hat... from 100% wool to 100% beaver. And let me tell ya, the more beaver you get, the better life is!

Re: it's a hat day
my first hat was a Resistol, and I've owned more Resistols than any other single brand.
That said, my grandfather always wore Stetsons.
My Open Road didn't come from him, but it's likely more than 50-y-o
