An early '50s Stetson St. Regis in baby blue, now in the Classifieds. Wonderful condition.

1930s Sieg Felt from Garrett. Neat aqua blue color. 5" bashed crown, just under 2" brim.

That is one fantastic looking lid you have there Douglas. Coordinated very well!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

I hope someday to be able to find that elusive navy blue fedora.

Cheers!

Delightful shade of blue, Jimmy, a beautiful hat. 'Guild Edge'?

Thanks, delectans. Yes, it's a Guild Edge -- more on this lid here.

My oldest hat so far, and only blue, a Stetson Standard Quality from the 30's or 40's.

It even has a dark blue sweatband.

Post Your BLUE Hats

I'm a fan of navy and/or midnight blue fedoras. To me, a black dress hat is a little boring. However, a blue fedora can be so much more with so many different shades, depending on the dye. Some blue hats are so deep they actually look black, but with the right clothing it can really stand out. Blue fedoras are great with jeans, too!

So, show us your BLUE fedoras, bowlers, homburgs, etc. Any shade will do! If there's already a thread like this let me know.

I'll start; here's my midnight blue fedora from Robley, which used to be in Atlanta. The store existed from 1960 to the mid-80's. I've done a search and it seems that the business name still exists, but the store does not.

This is probably the best representation of the true color of this hat...
