Just got me a brand New Hat

[Dalexs]

Earlier this afternoon... and a few hours later...

I know some of you guys don't follow COW and I don' post over here that often so I figure I'd show you guys
my new Akubra Federation Deluxe in Graphite Gray.
I couldn't pass up the deal that Ron was giving last week.

Ok, that's it, you can go about your business now...

Man, my friend, when they say the weather changes quick up there, they weren't kidding! Good way to break in the new hat, though. (grins) Regards. Michaelson

Gotta love it.

Great action (snow) photo.

3 seasons in two photos.

I think I could send that first photo into Art Bell...I see something right in the middle.

I guess I should bring myself to look out the window...I can't believe those pics were taken in the SAME DAY...wonderful weather we have up here in old New England, isn't it? Anyways, that's still a great lookin' hat...wear it well.

Nice hat

WOW I PM'ed you on COW...now you show the snow photo ...gee. I posted to him that in California we have been in the 85 - 90 degree range. Next week may bring cooler temps and rain.

I love that hat..It is perfect on you. And I bet warm. I can't wear my felts now except in the evening when the sun goes down , or early morning. We still have cool mornings, but the midday is starting to be Hawaiin shirt and Montecristi..shorts, and light shoes.

Lucky for us in the Bay Area, we DO NOT get the humidity that I'm sure Michaelson or Zohar get. That is the one thing I hate..the humidity. Oh, and Michaelson's story of the frozen mornings trying to get the car going.. oooooo.

 

[Matt Deckard]

I like the look of that hat on you.

Congratulations.

 

[Michaelson]

Andy, I really need to print off a copy of that post and hang it on my wall, so this summer when the humidity and temps are in the triple digits, I can read that and remind myself what the definition of cold really is. I may need the relief! (grins) Regards. Michaelson

Actually, it was because of THAT PM and a crack Michaelson made earlier on COW that made me run out and snap the photo. It just happened to start snowing today and it's suppose to really come down for a while. theyre saying 6-12 inches. That first photo this morning, it was 45 degrees.
And now...

 

[Michaelson]

Ah, so THAT'S the story. Folks, that's probably not really snow then....soap flakes? (grins) Regards. Michaelson

 

[Nathan Flowers]

Looking good. I was *this* close to getting one, but then decided against it because of the black color, and my fair skin probably not being a good combination. Looks great on you, though.

 

[Andykev]

Zohar, you'd look great in black....Art has your same complexion and he wears the vintage Borsalino black.


Come to think of It, I don't have a black hat, except for a DERBY.

Black Hat

I think a black hat is good for everyone. It is very basic and you can wear a black hat with just about any color. I started my collection with an OPTIMO Black Manhattan Fedora. When I was a little hesitant to order a black hat, Graham at OPTIMO told me that Black was a good hat to start with because it would go with just a about anything. He was right. From basic black then you can venture to other colors....different shades of brown, gray, blue, etc.

Isn't it great that we have so many choices of Color and Style?

Cheers!

 

[Andykev]

Im going to

Consider getting a black hat...I have a lot of grays, blue, and brown tones.

My favorite hat color that also goes with everything is the "dove gray" ..just like the photo drawing in my Avitar. Very light with a black band. It goes well with everything...pin striped suit, navy, and all my casual clothes..extremely well with my A-2 jacket. The only thing is doesn't look too good with is a brown suit.

Trust me... that snow is real. I have a bout a foot of the white stuff on the lawn and in the driveway.

 

[Michaelson]

Ah, and now we see that Renderking is IN on the conspiracy! (grins) Hope you're in on the last of the winter weather now. We're going to the 70's today, and the 80's by mid week. Regards. Michaelson

Hey Hey lets keep it it quiet out there in the peanut gallery

Dalexs,

That's a great hat on you! Classy! Looks like a good all-weather hat to me, as well.

It's probably a good thing they didn't have in any in my size.
