    waistcoat questions

    Probably a good call. At least until you get used to wearing the watch and waistcoat combo. That's what I'm doing. I'll decide later if I want to try a double. Now, we might be of like minds, but that may just mean we are of like psychosis. lol

    Federation or CEO...can't decide

    People have a bad habit of thinking of the Federation as an Indy hat, even experienced hat wearers. It's about the same as all those annoying people who call ALL fedoras Indy hats. :eusa_doh: The only Indy hat is one designed to no other purpose. Yes, the Fed IV was altered to favor the...

    waistcoat questions

    I've really become fond of the waistcoat recently, and I hope to find some that are good for the warmer temps for the summer. Anyhow, I generally agree that there's no "right way" to button up (unless the design makes it clear), consider the length. Vests are becoming a popular item for...

    Has the state of your hair influenced your hat wearing?

    Well... sort of. I went a long time with thin, useless hair (and came to terms with it) before becoming a full time hat wearer. I supposed that if I had kept the insanely beautiful, full hair of my youth, I would have been put off by hat-head, and I would hardly ever wear hats. So, I...

    That is really neat. I wouldn't know a collectable coin from a spot on the wall, but I would have asked for it, too.

    Akubra Delays

    I doubt that AE has been deliberately inaccurate about it. My play would be to confirm you still want the hat, with a subtle and very polite comment that reminds them of your unusual waiting experience. Then, wait and see if they throw you a bone on their own. Maybe a small, unexpected...

    What's this crease?

    I'm of two minds about bashes. If it's clearly a rough, hand-creased, uneven bash, I like it. But if it's one of those clean, neat "supposed to look even" bashes, I catch myself obsessing over symmetry. :eusa_doh: As for the hat in question for this thread, how 'bout we call it the...

    Paladin, I really like that brown/grey borsalino! That is a color I'd love to see in person! :eusa_clap

    Inexpertly Treated Adventurebilt, 7 1/8

    That actually looks cool. If I could pull off a 2" I'd try to replicate it.

    Donegal vs. Harris?

    I got a good look, but it would have cool to get a closer look. Especially side by side with Ignatz, because he had his Donegal! :eusa_doh: By the way I noticed I bumped the wrong thread for pictures. :o

    I'm almost ashamed to say it, but that's my Walmart special! lol "Faded Glory" prewashed gray cotton canvas with corduroy collar. I grabbed it because it reminded me of vintage styling. It goes with just about every gray fedora I own! Comfy bugger, too.

    Brown Hat and Black Coat?

    I love that hat. I have since I first saw the movie in all it's grainy basic cable glory! lol

    My Favorite FL Picture and Hat

    I'm pretty sure that's Tone. If I'm right, that could be anything from an AB Deluxe to Stetson Temple! He can work some serious bashing-mojo! (ok, I might be exaggerating a little.)

    Yep. Center dent. I might make it a diamond to take some of the taper off. But it's soft enough felt that I could just push in the diamond when I wanted it and pop it out during storage.

    Brown Hat and Black Coat?

    Well, the Nostalgia does come in brown...;)

    Pduck, that is a great find. A cleaning a a reblock would make that into one majorly fine hat.

    I did a round of pics for all sorts of stuff today, so I get to show this one off. I just got this at a deal from Johnnysan. I haven't decided if I'm going to change the bash any, yet.
