What a day for lids. My hat is off to all of you :eusa_clap
This thread makes it difficult not to troll the bay even though I got two vintage hats around Christmas.
Mike, welcome! My suggestion, since the place is in your town, is to go there and ask questions and try on a hat or two. Since you are looking for a 30's look, you must have some idea in your mind as to what you're looking for, so that will guide you as you try on hats and ask questions...
Blackthorn, what a nice hat - Art did you up good! Will you customize at all? It looks like Bogey had a tighter pinch and the side pinches extended further back than yours. Also, when you order from Art do you measure your head? How's the fit? Again, nice hat...
Just for the record, I do not own a hat that admits me to the Open Road Guild. And I believe it's all in fun. There's a "club" for lots of different hats of many different levels of quality. You could actually start one for purple Kangols and others would join in on the FUN! That's what it's...

Mario, Bart and Michaelshane - great style on lids and the whole ensemble. You guys all wear them so well. :eusa_clap
Woody: That 3X Beaver Resistol looks great on you as well! I'd love to see another picture - it looks like something interesting is going on with the bow, but I can't...
I gotta disagree with Mr. P. I think there's room in your repertoire for that wider brimmed Sunbody. Yes it could be construed as a little bit country, but I would say more "country gentleman." You'll wear that at those summer soirees in the Virginia countryside hosted by various congressmen...
If you're going to say Seppo, shouldn't you say you're a pom instead of a Limey? :)
I made a few trips to Britain, but it's been about ten years since I was last there. You could pretty accurately pick out Americans wearing their shorts, white socks and, of course, ball caps. So I guess it...
Alterego, here's a link from Aussie Bush Hats:

You can peruse the rest of the site, but the link is straight to the Lawson, and you'll see the available colors with color samples listed as Heritage Fawn and...
Hey Mario, we'll be interested to hear more about your efforts at hat salvation. It looks like it came out pretty well - if you didn't tell us there were problems we probably wouldn't have noticed. :eusa_clap
