Howdy again folks, been quite a while since I posted here.
A friend of mine wants to buy me a Christmas present, but gave up on trying to find the right thing and just told me to find an overcoat and hat that I like and they'd pay for it. I'm trying to keep the cost down to under $100 for both, although I'll probably end up kicking in a bit extra on top to get exactly what I want.
I wear a conservative cut (modern though) black (slightly grey but looks black) 2 button single breasted suit. I need a good sturdy vintage grey wool or cashmere overcoat, and a grey fedora to go with it.
I'll post the coat request in the overcoat forum, but can anyone help me find a hat? I don't know enough about fedora's to know what's a good quality vintage one to look for on Ebay.
I like the looks of the Stetson Temple, although just from the pictures it seems like the brim is a teensy bit too wide. It gives you an idea of the style i'm headed for anyway though.
Point me in the right direction? I'm okay with waiting until after Christmas if needed for a better deal.
P.S I did actually look in the classifieds here first!
