ok, now I feel very stupid. I've held my hat as if for brushing, and I in fact also agree withh the recent posts and not my own. Shows how infrequently I brush my hats.
My apologies to all.:o
When I learned to brush counterclockwise I ran into the same issue of brushing against the feather. I don't brush my hats all that often (only when I think they need it), and I take the feather out when I do. However, I have a Stetson Gun Club Pork Pie circa '50s with the smallest bit of a...

Brown Stetson - Gun Club
While I'm at it, I guess I'll post this picture of me in my brown Stetson Gun Club. I've seen a bunch of Gun Clubs that do not happen to be Pork Pies, So I'm not sure if this one was reblocked, or if they came in several varieties.

Dobbs Pork Pie
I posted this pic in the new hats thread, and thanks to GWD's prompt, I am posting it here where it belongs. I'll hopefully get some better pics of the actual hat in the next couple weeks.

My new Dobbs porkpie
So I haven't been around lately because my laptop has apparently seen its last days. My new one should be arriving this week! I celebrated earlier this week with a much needed black pork pie. This is a Dobbs. Here I am trying it out while on a work lunch outing with my...

Hi Manny,
Welcome from another newbie here. I too live in Mass, but I'm in Western Mass. I'm sure you will find as I have, that the folks here are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful.

Dobbs Gotham
This week I got two new sweet hats. The first is the Dobbs Gotham I bought from Flyer36 in a different thread. It's a beautiful hat. It came with the box, and it makes me happy!

The Dobbs Gotham has a new owner!
Flyer36 sold me the Dobbs Gotham, and it arrived earlier this week. I love it even more than I had hoped! The last two days have been a little cooler, so I wore it to work both yesterday and today. I got several very nice compliments.
Here's me in the...

I've been toying with the idea of the bowler as casual dress for a while now, but so far I don't have a bowler. I've read all the bowler posts, talking about the bowler of old being a type of everyman's hat, at when I think back on old photos it all makes sense.
