Chi Chi Rodriguez Hat
I just got an original Chi Chi Rodriguez straw hat and I love it, even though I am not a golfer. Chi Chi's golfing career ended over 25 years ago. I don't know how old this hat is, but it is old. I like to wear straws and while I have some that are nicer, my Chi Chi is the most interesting... -

A stupid question, I fear. What is the origin of silver belly? It is such an odd name. -

No doubt, it depends on whether you are wearing the hat or looking at the hat. -

The hat came this way. There is no wire in the brim. Yes, I wear a long oval hat. What do you think? -
Ask a question, get an answer
This is not a great picture, but it does show the problem. The view is from the side of the hat. The brim generally slopes down, but there is a bump in it that is unattractive. I would like to get it out. Any suggestions are much appreciated. -

Actually, my problem is that the brim is snapped down in an unattractive way. What I would like to do is to straighten it out a bit. Any thoughts? -

Christys hats and rain
I have Christy's foldable fedora. When I went out for a walk last night I wore it because there was a possibility of thunderstorms. And this hat was expendable. I got caught in a heavy downpour. The hat was not just wet, it was waterlogged. Now that it is dry, the hat seems to have shrunk a size. -
Places to look for hats in Charlotte or Asheville N.C.???
Keith Christmas runs Alexander Hats in Charlotte. He is a very friendly and helpful fellow. The inventory is not massive, but I saw a few hats that were of interest. -
Vintage Silhouettes family portraits
I have three of Art's beauties. A rust with an olive ribbon, a dark moss with a black ribbon and a milan with a dark green ribbon. I wish it was enough... -

I got a new lid from Art a couple of months ago. It is dark moss with a black ribbon. -
vintage vs. custom
I don't own any vintage hats. Perhaps because I don't have a vintage head. The few hats I have seen in my size just don't appeal to me. But I love custom hats. You get exactly what you want in precisely your size. What is not to love? -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
The crown is 4 3/4 in the front and 3 7/8 in the back. The brim is 2 3/4 in front and back. It is 2 1/2 on the sides. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I got an new hat from Art for Christmas. It is his Brooklyn model, but I had him make it with a dimensional brim. It is rust felt with a green ribbon and a green liner. This hat fits like a glove. I think my head must be more oval that the standard hat. Not a problem for Art. I like is so... -
New Swanepoel/Stetsons: "Fewer than 50 of these hats will ever be produced."
I have never heard of this designer. Not that I know much about designers. Certainly, I wish him and Stetson well. But, I really don't like these hats. In fact, they are just ugly. -
Cologne and perfume
I like Creed's Green Irish Tweed. Its not vintage, but it was originally made for Cary Grant. And while Green Irish Tweed is not vintage, Cary Grant was.- Edw8ri

Pomade
Another one to consider is Dapper-Man. It holds well and washes out, but contains no petroleum based ingredients. I have some of the same hair issues you do when I use one of the traditional pomades, but not with Dapper-Man.- Edw8ri
