The Shadow said:I fear I have run out of time too, so I may have to choose from the hats I currently own:
Royal Stetson Nolton
Stetson The Sovereign Twenty
I also have a Dobbs Golden coach and an Oviatts Oviatt Model
But those do not fit me.
Any ideas on which modern hat is closest to the 1940's that I could get in three days or which of my current hats may pass?
Sorry if I'm off topic

Pictures of the hats and the suit could help more.

The Shadow said:James,
Thanks for the advise!
The Soverign twenty is a fedora shape. Both hats match my Grey gabardine suit pretty well. The Nolton is caribou grey and the Sovereign is a darker almost charcoal grey. Although both hats have a 2 inch brim, the Sovereign gives a stingier brim appearance though because the crown is taller.
Man, I wanted that Whippet bad! Patience I guess, I will have one someday.

So I guess the answer to the question of "how did you start wearing a hat" would be - it was primarily due to tradition.
