Makes me...
Tinmanzzz...
Congrats...
RBH, thank you.
I was beginning to think I was the only one with no luck...
Ran into a nice Dobbs in a Lodi 2nd Hat shop...I asked how much...she asked how much I had.
Served 'er right it was so small.....
anyhoo...from what I have observed, you dont need...
...may be inappropriate(spell check), but me and me china, Mr. Bushmills, were
listening to some music tonight and this line struck me-
~gentleman o'the jury, what you think a that? Stack O'Lee killed Vincent Lyon
for a $5 Stetson hat-that bad man...O cruel Stack O'Lee....~
...and it...
Women in men's hats...
There are much more qualified folk here to answer that, but from personal experience, recently I worked in an office where the V.P./C.F.O., a woman,
wore many different fedora's-mostly mens.
She was older than you, but similar in facial structure and hair color, and...
Hello Barb
I have been looking at that CEO as well, I think....my link for Hats Direct opens on the CEO. I was thinking on the "Cruiser Grey" for a color...I have a few black fedoras already.
Either way, it's a good looking hat.
Welcome,

30's MacBeth
If i'm not mistaken, there was a gangster version of MacBeth, but I dont recall the era it was set in.
No, i'm wrong. One in '55 (Joe MacBeth), redone in '90 as "Men of Respect".

Alas McBeth,
....wildly sponging his E-bay vintage fedora, shouting "Out! damned spot!"...:D
"Fair is foul, and foul is fair; Hover through the fog and filthy air"...'tis vintage beaver, should I care?
...anyway, "...swords I smile at, weapons laugh to scorn, Brandish'd by man that's of...
Congrats!
...and my sympathies are with your hubby. It is so very hard to see a dream hat-perfect style, perfect make, perfect shade, ribbon,etc...go by forever,because one's head is a couple-three sizes to large. I wonder if there is a surgical procedure?

Very Nice Hat...
....however:
Buried in dirt
Sat on countless times
Crumpled into a little ball
Crushed by a mattress overnight
Beaten with a stick (unfortunatley, while it was on my head)
Smeared in grass
Soaked through in rainstorms
Run over by a Volkswagen
.....I went through...
Thanks again,
...for the hospitality. I just managed to snag what looks to be a VERY nice
Adam fedora off of OFAS...hope I didnt step on any toes, but that kind of gray is a favorite of mine!

Nice Comment...
I have not been wearing fedora's for long, and living in a pop. 250 horse & cow town does not present a lot of opportunity for me. However, one evening I was dressed up for a evening out-door shakespeare play at a local winery and stopped by the post office to get my mail. A...
Betty...
I understand...I live in a very tiny house/cottage, and my shelves are filled, so books are stacked like pillars everywhere. I have a lot of difficulty discarding any book I enjoyed.
I like vintage books, and have quite a few, including a book of Kipling's verse from 1923...
Thank You...
...and, yes, I have begun my hat collecting. I have seen a few hats in here taken from me by wiser bidders. I have tried putting my head in a vice all night as well, to get down to a size that would allow me to purchase hats in my price range. (It doesnt work). I have taken a few...
Gentleman, (and, as I have just recently noticed, Ladies)
I have been lurking for quite some time, and thought I would at last say hello.
Reading your posts on vintage hats has brought back memories of my childhood in the S.F. Bay Area.
My mother, a native New Yorker, used to be addicted...
