i am narrowing down my color selections for VS to powder blue, silvermist, or silver belly. Has anyone ordered a powder blue fedora? How does it look when combined with grey or blue suits? Thanks. : )

I've not seen a powder blue,I find that silvermist has become a favorite.

GHT has a light blue fedora that he wears quite a bit.
It's a lighter blue though.
But he wears it with a lot of other colors and it does look very nice.

Thank you for the replies. The powder blue is lighter than the pic and I like both the silvermist too. Maybe I will just buy two of them. Lol

That's the best bet. Just get 'em all.

However, check this post out. Then check out my recent Silvermist purchase two posts down. They're Gannons, not VSs, but I believe they source their felts from the same supplier (Winchester). Should give you an idea of the finished product.

US Postal Service says my Vintage Silhouette is out for delivery. Can't wait, I don't know what I am getting yet. All I told Art was 100% Beaver and the color. I left the rest up to him. Look for some unboxing images soon.

I love my VS powder blue! Here are some previously posted photos of mine. Light-weight felt, 2 5/8 brim. The sportcoat is sage green and the tie is red, the shirt light blue

(just to give you an idea of how it would go with your clothes).
