Great photo, ViperMan. But that lid is fantastic! What can you tell us about it?

Cheers,

Thanks, Jimmy! This is a Silverbelly vintage Open Road that I had rebuilt by Optimo. They changed the ribbon, shortened the brim a touch, and added a wide binding.

Ah, that rings a bell. Reminds me of Optimo's "Mitchum" fedora, which is a great look. That is a fabulous lid, my friend. :eusa_clap

Cheers,

The new stingy brim I picked up last night as a total impulse buy. I think I might need to put something in the band to make it hug my head at a higher point.

That's pretty good, MisterGrey. And a pretty authentic lookin' shirt to boot.

I scored a vintage tie in that scheme recently but it had a stain I couldn't remove so I had to toss it. Really pained me 'cuz that red with off white flower pattern is the bomb in an old tie.

Well, I broke my 'flowerdy shirts' outta' mothballs today. I felt under the weather and it sorta' cheered me up to see them.

Not sure if I'll be posting here as well as in the "What hat are you wearing today" thread. Probably just post there. But I'm gettin' close.

Haven't gotten my summer stuff out of the trunk yet, but here's one that I picked up at the thrift shop last month. I really like the pattern matching on this one, but why does it make me feel like I have to pee all the time...

A not-very-good self portrait-please excuse the background junk show....I just got the shirt today- it's an old "Go Barefoot" I got on eBay.....there's some good deals to be had on some vintage Hawaiian shirts- I always thought they'd be expensive. Unfortunately you don't find much in the thrift stores in my size. The hat is a cheapo I got on eBay as well.....did some experimental re-shaping and now I like it, though the brim is almost too narrow for me. The hatband I got here: http://e4hats.com/ - a great place to get puggaree-type hatbands-all kinds of patterns and colors, all $5.99.

Man, I wish I had thought of that..... that is really cool in more ways than one........ Great idea and pic.......

I got my two Akubra Bogarts and while this could fit into what hat are you wearing today , or new hat thread, I thought I would throw on a semi Hawaiian shirt and post it here...... I must admit, I like these Bogarts better than anything else I have.......
