Going on a boat tour around the waterfront of Atlantic City. Took this UPF-50 fedora with a 3.25" brim, from "Joe Fedora."

Hah! I know! Harv's looks like a good one too! I had accumulated a really nice collection of military baseball caps. But my derm said "Baseball caps are not enough." So I started on this strange hatter's obsession!!
Pa Fig, that is one tight pork pie crown! Did you steam it in?
Here is a new one - a stingy Borsalino fur felt from their rain-proof line. Foldable too. I had a sort of loose pork-pie crown put in, not heavily steamed in, since I might want to re-fedora-ize it some day. I like wearing...
Joao, those hats rock. You're wearing them well - they look totally natural!
Hamilcar, I like that color, the edge stitching and the light bash.
Harv, that's one of the best looking sun hats I've seen!!
Charlie, those are some classy, old-skool summer straws with fantastic bands!
Richard...
Yeah, young dudes. I see these more often in Greenwich Village on people of college age. I'm going shopping for a porkpie today. I'll also take Loz's advice and start looking into custom!!
Q: what's with back-bows? I notice them on some vintage and custom pork pies. Which I'm now in the market for. Bit I'm used to hatband bows being on the left side. I associate bows on the back with women's hats. Something I don't know about back bows on men's hats??
I'm beginning to look into felt pork pies. I might have one to show tomorrow!! I want a few. I have an ebay find coming, and might commission a custom one of these days. More news tomorrow! I was thinking of a Borsalino Piccolo reblocked into a pork pie. Pork Pie Hatters has their own line...
