My First Fedora

[Nigel]

I received my first fedora today. I've been buying up western hats all summer and decided it was time for a fedora, I've been looking for an OR all summer and missed out on the ones I bid on. This Penneys Marathon came up on OFAS and I decided it was to be mine. It arrived today, just in time for my weekend in London. Sorry for the pics, I don't take very good ones.

My friend ,you did great for you first fedora! :eusa_clap
The Marathons are great hats. I have a thin ribbon Marathon.
Check out the Dutchmans thread on his conversion of a western to a fedora.
That may be a way for you to get a thin ribbon in short order.
Very fine fedora and very good photos! Thanks for sharing with us!

Great First Fedora, Nigel. It looks very good on you and it's vintage. You really can't do better than this.

Wouldn't change a thing. Looks just right.

Oh, and are you going to do anything with the westerns? Are you just collecting them, or are you going to convert them?
