My newly arrived Mallory 'Eight Fifty'.
Came from Chiliarches in Chicago (Thank you again, John) and had a stop chez Optimo en route for a new sweatband and clean/block.
I fell in love with the colours of this one when Chili first posted it, and now I have it in my sticky hands, I...
"And for some reason I was in the mood for tweed today"......
Probably because it really works for you! Nice jacket and lapelled waistcoat, and some good looks in general you've been coming up with recently. I like that VS :eusa_clap

Yep, the cravat look certainly works well with the cap - my own feeling is that they work best with the slightly casual look of a cap or else with the summer-y look of a nice Panama. Never been quite convinced by the cravat/fedora pairing.....
.....And if people out there want to post lots...
WOW :eek: That is one great looking hat - colour, proportions and everything about it! Looks absolutely great on you, djgo..... Superb!!!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Yep, v. nice pics, Sproily. A subtly different 'European' look..... (and absolutely no offence intended at all to any Hawaiian shirt and 'ten-gallon hat' fans out there ;) )
And ::offtopic: it's a brilliant photo of himself (TW), isn't it? Maybe we should start a TW appreciation club on...
Just like to say 'Welcome', and glad to see someone else from these parts posting. Haven't seen anyone else around Edinburgh wearing a fedora or decent hat of any sort for an awfully long time now (sometimes I feel like I'm the only one! [huh] ), so will be good to see pics of your new Christy...
Thanks, Bill, was sure this would be familiar territory for you. Having admired (even lusted after!) some of the other Adams on this thread since I joined the Lounge, it feels great to be able to post one of my own. It's my first proper vintage hat, apart from a couple of 'experimental' old...
My recently arrived Adam 'Strand' Executive in Buckskin, which has been pretty much constantly on my head since it arrived. More details posted on the Adam Alley.

New Adam
My recently arrived Adam from Johnnyphi.
I love the colour (almost a non-colour!) which IMO works well for me. The felt is gradually coming to life after a few decades in a box, and is getting softer and richer every time I wear it. Hasn't really been off my head in the week or so...
6 pt diamond - Adam 'Strand'
Well, I tried a six point diamond on my Adam today - as inspired by Mario's recent posting - and am very pleased with how it works on this hat.
Will post some more pics on the Adam Alley.

Very nice indeed! Lovely combination of straw shade and ribbon colour. Let's just hope the weather holds a bit longer to give you more chance to wear it; would be a great shame to have to put it away for a few months :(
RobStC
Torpedo, you never fail to amaze me how great you look in your photos; always at ease and just so stylish......
Best wishes from a pale and angular-faced Scotsman :( ,

Looks great, John. Nice shade of ribbon :). Is that the one you dropped off a week or so ago? If so, glad your Optimo trip had such a nice result for you.
Best,
RobStC
