Obviously not a hat I wear these days, but thought it would be interesting to share. My mom brought it when they came to visit last week. From my first visit to Walt Disney World in early 1983 (she thinks, could be late ‘82). Pretty neat to see the chain stitch embroidered name on the back! They don’t make em like they used to.

New in - received another Well Dressed Head creation from Keith Lo Bue this week

Fabric is Thai straw indigo stripe which is awesome – light and super breathable

The model is the Clover , a 1920's style four-panel newsboy cap – newsboys are usually eight panel so four-panel is quite unusual 

It’s the same model as @oomslokop picked earlier in this thread - thanks mate for creating an irresistible urge for another!

Took a couple of months as they’re made to order but worth the wait – as ever, great construction from Keith

We just now need some more summer here 

With pics against type 1 for indigo comparisons

[oomslokop]

lookin good man. and i'm resisting the urge to order a custom l'aronde! XD

[MJF9]

Cheers Ooms and yes the L'aronde is a belter of a hat

HW DoG after a little over a year.  Cloth on top of hat came off. A few washes.

[Double 0 Soul]

A couple of recent ones..

S&M meshback from Alans, i bought this a few months ago just to keep my unruly lockdown hair out of my face

..and amongst a few other really kind home-made gifts from our very own LazyS, this dope bobble hat.

Thanks man!

No photos with it yet, but since this thread hasn't been getting much activity…

Grabbed one of the linen Blluemade bucket caps from S&S Santa Fe last week & it's been treating me great! Brim's on the small side, but overall I'd def. recommend

[mlwdp]

I have a new HW Dog coming in shortly that will be exchanged for a different color.  Looking forward to it.

[Duke Mantee]

I have a notion for this or similar 

[bartlebyyphonics]

hats, hats, hats

firstly the sun protectors...

current cruise control; buzz ricksons

as worn...

an olde 90s find... love the color combination and the name... [a ship of sassing and a cussing]

as worn...

army surplus shop cheapo special ... [cheap materials but nice pattern...]

as worn...

vintage bucket hat [made in Canada, no idea of date but nearest pattern I have seen was an HW Dog hat listed as '30s bucket hat' iirc ...]

can have rim popped up...

or down...

the janky old twill...

as worn ...

TCB daisy mae

as worn ...

and an 'onourable mention; an old golfing hat found thrifting in SF many moons back; a little small, but lovely texture

...

...

and then to the chill protection...

an old faithful no name made made fibre beanie...

not too hot, not too cold and can be washed ruthlessly thus finds itself worn frequently...

one such occasion...

then for serious wind and rain this offering from barbour

and branching out... a squaddie beret for the new chilly season; yessir...

thank you dear sir; an old-ish bleu de travail ... seen out on so many backs of the media class in London these days I mostly keep it in reserve for another time... these peeps seem to have a good few nice examples

this is a proper good example...

 

[mlwdp]

My new HW Dog hat came in.  It was hard finding the navy color because it’s sold out almost everywhere except Canvas.

[bartlebyyphonics]

^ tasty; a leather lining to the rim?

This denim papa nui hat is one of my favorite hats I’ve owned. It fits well and works well in warmer climates. It’s been washed a bunch and it’s starting to age nicely. 

[conqueror]

i really don't understand the thinking behind interior leather/cowhide sweatbands in caps (e.g. poten) other than they're considered a 'premium' material. i personally find them super uncomfortable, particularly in (australian) summer as the sweat doesn't get absorbed and just irritates your skin.

HW Dog does that.

This is the Arpenteur bob (French for bucket hat) from last year, in woad dyed cotton. We've had horrible weather in Seattle, especially today, but he last 3-4 hours have been lovely and I took advantage of the sun for a quick walk.

 

[mlwdp]

HW Dog camp cap came in.  Notice the toggle in the back.

 

[buler]

Might as well have a 2023 entry for the thread. Vintage hats are one of my main things (fedoras,derbies mainly). Had this custom made by Art Fawcett of Vintage Silhouettes. He is now retired.

 

 

If you need a vintage hat.... I have a couple.

I have maybe 12-15 that I wear. I've been collecting/buying/selling for 15 years. Or mostly hoarding, if you talk to my wife. I've been trying to sell more than buy, as of late.

[Duke Mantee]

How many do you have?
