Fedoras at the inaguration

[RBH]

your beard seems to have shifted to "Silver Belly" in color!!!!

Silverbelly...... I like that.

Huh, that's going a bit far!

But, I listened to Obama's speech and he seems to be the right man to restore US back onto the map of the free world.

Huh, I wasn't aware that we ever got off of the map.

The U.S. presidential inauguration is of global interest because the president is the de facto leader of the free world.

Oh! THAT President :eusa_doh:

The ban on politics on FL stops me from commenting further about that statement, there are plenty of other web sites for that.

It's the first time I can ever recall an inauguration being televised in it's entirety

Hell, I love a cowboy hat.. here I am in my Texas Hatters LSD, a vintage from 30 years ago [a gift from my beloved grandmother]. .[re-worked by Major Moore] And yes it is from Texas.
The same place a certain Texan is supposed to be from.

What a fine hat there RNH. Just like in the old days - you lost a bet and had to walk around with yer lid on backwards to make good shhhhhhhh.

Couple days ride in a hat like that....... you could just walk in to the bank and whip it across your thighs releasing a cloud of dust that would scare 'em all out.... I'm smitten with romance - of the FeLt.

Okay RBH and CRH... we have plenty of threads for your own hats... This thread is for hats that were at the inauguration.

I'm going to pull your posts soon... let's keep this thread inaugural!

Thanks. Time was you would get flagged discussing religion or politics at a "Lounge".



Does anyone know why the "presidential fedora" being offered from Hartford Hats is not available in oval or long oval sizes or how the Pinnacle is for sale at $295.00 which is such a major deal considering the regular price of a Stetson pinnacle plus a portion goes to charity?

My friend was there and he wears fedoras and newsboys, he will be back at work tomorrow and I am really curious about his impression of the numbers of hat wearers from having been in the middle of it. But I sure wish people would mix it up alittle and quit wearing only black. It woulda been nice to see a VS in the crowd.

 

[St.Ignatz]

I saw a pale green, maybe sage with a light salmon trim that looked mighty fine. Custom for sure it had a perfect fit in both crown height and brim width and the colors matched the Gents skin tone to a tee. Bad memory or vivid hallucination? Does anyone remember or recognize the hat?

not pale green on the complexion mind you.

Cheney's?

Hi, I'm new.

I have a couple shots of Cheney's fedora posted here:

As a "folllicaly challenged" Borsalino owner I'd really like to explore owning
one such. Can you folks identify the maker and crown style? Thank you.

 

[St.Ignatz]

No, twas a much lighter colored hat and a bit lighter countenance.

That's incredible! I can pick out the hats all I want. Hell, I can practically tell the brands when zoomed in.

Wow, you aren't kidding at all.

Like with the gold lettering on the bow of Cheney's hat, I would conclude it's a Borsalino.
