Thanks Brent!
The fact that I carry a green messenger bag and a vaguely whip-like object (my white cane) doesn't help much with avoiding the Indy look. But, there are way worse looks to emulate with a hat and jacket.
For example...

Hey all!
My most Indy-like hat today. The Ecuyer & Thomas made for Motsch Fils.
The jacket is not very Indy-like, but I wasn't really going for the look. It just kinda happens... :)
Have a great day!
I hope yours is everything mine was supposed to have been. The felt really is nice.
I ended up messaging the Etsy seller about the ummm...overly rosy description of the condition and the poor measurements. Not expecting a return due to the fact that I didn't get pics of the condition it arrived...
The holes seem intact, but it was a reeded sweat, and both the thread holding the leather to the reed and the thread holding it all to the hat was shot. Plus the reed itself fell apart. It needs a new sweat for sure, so a sizing up to a 7 would be a possibility.
An Etsy defeat, and a major bummer.
This old Resistol popped up on Etsy for a good price. There were good exterior shots, but only a couple of close up shots of ithe nterior and a vague circumference measurement. So, I asked seller for measurements of the opening front to back and side to side...
Thanks Steve!
I agree about not sniffing trachtens. You think you're strong enough that you can do just one, but then before you know it you're out on the webs at all hours searching for Crystal velours.
A friend recently asked me to keep an eye out for a nice velour for her to wear. This "Franker Wien" came up on ebay cheap so I grabbed it, not only to do my friend a favor but also just so I could check out a Fraenkel.
I I know this isn't the usual type of hat we tend to get excited about here...
