Sharp look, there! Bound edges have class! I wonder if grosgrain ribbon has changed over the years, that ribbon on that hat has such a sheen to it. I'll bet Art or somebody would know, maybe polyester is more common than something like silk, which probably has better visual properties. Your hat has a nice light brown feltand that ribbon sets it off great! Nice pics!

Hey, Nick, great hat! That is an awesome color. I agree Dean, the bound brim is very sharp.

I'm not familiar with Westfield, is that a vintage hat or modern? Either way it looks great! Is is floppy or stiff?

I'll have to add Westfield to my regular e-bay searches. I'm still looking for a nice soft, lightweight felt hat for everyday wear. I just bought Dinerman's Adam, and it is sweet, but it's so nice I don't want to wear it around as a daily hat. It's also grey, which is great for my blue, grey and black suits, but lousy for my normal khakis and bush shirt attire. Someday I will find such a hat, and I hope it looks as good on me as yours does on you, Nick.

Nice hat. I like the profile, the boxy look of the crown and that great sweep of the brim.

I can't see the Adams. [huh]
