    Beauty, Alan! You have come into some great lids in a short while. SteveAS - did that hat fit you? What a great find at a great price.

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    Earlier in this thread I voted for tortoise Wayfarers. They're great combined with a hat, but I'm in Southern California and needed another pair. I picked up some of these: I believe Buler mentioned Persols are a step up in lens quality, and I have to concur. By the way, I look just...

    I think I'm detecting a certain aubergine hue in that one, Aureliano. I'll check the Optimo thread to hear more about that...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I think it might be older than 50's based on the stitch pattern on the sweat, width of the sweat, and the overall hat proportions.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Not yet, huh? You're itching to get 'em and I'm itching to see 'em. How about you Whacky? Did your boots come in yet?

    If one is in search of a reason to invest in a bow tie...

    I have to say that's giving the guy a lot of power over your life, particularly if you really want to wear one but don't for this reason. If you want to wear one, wear it and to h$%*& with that guy.

    FDR Fedora

    I wonder. Have we moved on, culturally speaking? It seems entertainers are bigger celebs than politicians.

    FDR Fedora

    I wonder what the same hat would bring today? Would FDR still draw big money? In the hat crowd, it would seem LBJ would bring bigger money than FDR.

    Nice, Yeps! I like the one on the top left. Looks like the price was pretty good so I hope you'll still have enough left over to eat something this week!

    Just catching up with the thread. The sweat looked to be in great shape but I wondered if it might be dry or brittle. That can happen in an unused NOS hat, can't it?

    Josh, I'm glad you won that one - we'll all be interested to see better pics when it comes in. It looks like the sweatband is cloth? And also it looks like there's some absorber at the front of the sweat.

    Hmmmmm. I'm thinking of a certain notorious acquirer of lids who had a countdown to a moratorium which failed to occur. I must say we're all the better for it! I would also add I've enjoyed your run as well, Alan:D

    Jed, nice Campdraft in Danbury pics... Boxerken, what a great picture of a great look in a hat that suits you so well!! JtL - I'm not really sure what other superlatives can be heaped on that Melton. That is one fine hat, sir.
