Post New Hats Here!
Failsworth 'Rodney' Probably late 60's maybe early 70's from the label. Near new condition so despite not needing yet another brown stingy brim... Fairly deep pinch and square sides for an English Trilby. Failsworth are still going, and produce decent caps, but their... -
Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?

Mike - great photos of you, the ladies and the locale. David - looking very sharp as usual. Andy - looks good. The taper doesn't bother me, but then I'm European, and it's what I'm used to. Have you tried a full length centre dent like a homburg - that might lessen the visual taper. Perry -... -
