Thanks for the details. I figured there must be a story there! While the one that fits is a great looking Whippet, it's still a bit of a shame the other doesn't fit - it's a visually interesting color. I'm sure you can offload it if you are of a mind to do so!
Billy, I would have thought you would lament the trade of an Adam for an ORlol
Alex, nice hat - and it goes particularly well with your blue shirt.
MV and Alan, again you guys have fished a couple nice ones from the bay.
Here's a pair to draw to...
Elvis was the king, but it would be hard to vote against the Beatles in terms of influence.
Regarding the Sinatra hat, it would be quite interesting to see the seller's letter of "autenticity.":D
Head coverings have been around for millenia. Hats as we tend to know and love them here, that brief, shining era of wide-brimmed fur felt hats of the late 19th and first half of the 20th centuries, well, that dog's probably had it's day. Life is too fractured, the world has moved on more than...

If you need inspiration in order to be more...
Alex, as Yeps posited, you'll need to practice some diligence and patience. I fished one of my finest lids from the 'bay for $56, shipping included because is was poorly listed. I could tell it was probably a decent hat, but it threw others off enough that it was a good gamble. This is a hat...
Some really nice ones today! Michaelshane, I love your photos - they are a pleasure to see and you wear your hats so comfortably. Nice boots, too.
Alan, you and your wife look great, and the 100 is superb.
JtL - it's not often we see you wearing a great lid in a t-shirt, especially this...
SteveAS, I saw your post in the New Hats thread and posted that I hope it fits. I'm glad to see you not only found such a great hat but it fits well too. Score!
