Post New Hats Here!
I think that hat really works on you. It might not get worn often (I have similar issue with my light hats), but maybe you can relish those times when you do.- Not-Bogart13

What is your next VS?
I've never liked the "sandiness" of Silverbelly, myself. I love the Blue Smoke, but if you don't want a blue-gray, you might not like it. The Silvermist is very light, but I had an old Miller that matched it once and I miss it dearly. It didn't fit right. :( It's a great light gray, cool...- Not-Bogart13

What is your next VS?
I know how black is. When I was in college I tried to model myself after Ian Malcolm for a while (Jeff Goldblum's Jurassic Park character, for those who don't know). But I keep my lids boxed, and I have a good knack for fending off lint. Having bought a plain black off-the-rack last year, I...- Not-Bogart13

Rules for Wearing White
Kodiak, suck rules are pretty archaic these days. That you would even entertain following them shows a higher sense of style than most men have today. However, the world has changed, the seasons are less reliable, etc, etc, etc. I am not the sort to wear white when it's cold, but a date is...- Not-Bogart13

(Is)There is no such thing as the same size of hat
I do understand the point, and I have noticed that I favor hats in some situations based on how they fit. However, I have also noticed that there are indeed some hats that fit me so perfectly that fit would never be a factor in choosing. Therefore, for me, there is such as thing as "the right...- Not-Bogart13

hat sizing frustration
Yep. Sizing is a headache. The best you can do is check your actual head measurement against each manufacturer's sizing chart. It's not full proof, but does help a little. After that, it's trial and error, unfortunately. You can try to get return costs refunded by telling them you ordered...- Not-Bogart13

Dark pants, light jacket
Definitely nothing wrong with it. Especially in summer, when linen it jacket of choice for comfort. It's hard to find dark linen jackets, in my experience. Anyhow, just think about the fact that everyday, thousands of men wear black trousers, but not a black jacket. They wear blue, gray, tan...- Not-Bogart13

Help on first fedora hat..
Here's another option. http://www.millerhats.com/meurope_index/meurindex.htm My early hat wearing days leaned heavily on Miller, and I have always found them good in terms of service, and their prices well within normal range.- Not-Bogart13

HI News Article
"Too bad?" See, that's what I'm talking about. You can write all you want here, but you choose a written form of a spit in the eye. The mean spiritedness is coming out of the way you are behaving. If that's not your intent, you should seriously re-think how you write. As far as your...- Not-Bogart13

HI News Article
RYH, I just read everything at the link, and I have to say - regardless of your intent, your remarks come across as the most offensive. They are hostile, elitist in tone, and as others have pointed out, not very accurate. What you say strongly implies that you have to have an old or an...- Not-Bogart13

Magnoli, for starters. And another member, bigshoe. Both seem to be in that price range. And I haven't really been looking that hard. :rolleyes:- Not-Bogart13

What is your next VS?
Thank you duggap. Actually, we have passions of similar ilk, and she loves my hat collection. I might have to give up some buying habits, but not hats. I figure, as long as I don't develop any new high-priced "hobbies" everything should be fine! lol- Not-Bogart13

Now that's a tall crown...
Funny pic! I'm with Soup on this one, though. I think the guy was messing around, and turned his fedora sideways. That would severely warp the brim, and a center dent might look that tall if worn that way. He sure looks happy, whoever he is.- Not-Bogart13

My next VS will be... [huh] It will depend strongly on the fruits of a brainstorming session. I have many ideas, but none that can be called complete without the master's input. I do have my eye on two felt colors, though. Black and Whiskey!- Not-Bogart13

Is a Dinner Jacket too much for a Cocktail Party?
I well understand your eagerness, and nothing stings more than having to wait for the right time to debut something so special. However, the call is warranted. Rather than being overly specific, simply ask the host(ess) what level of dress. If the answer is too vague for you, mention...- Not-Bogart13

VS wait times
The LONGEST wait I have ever had with Art was about 3 months, and that was due to illness. This time of year, his times are usually rather short, so Indycop's estimate is probably close.- Not-Bogart13
