My poor boyfriend has a narrow head and looks weird in a fedora.

[ledsled]

And here's one out of left field...

Has your boyfriend ever tried a Doo Rag? OK, so it's not a "hat", but it does cover his head... so it's not completely off topic. I know zippo about what kind of hat fits what kind of face. All I know is my brother-in-law is similar to your boyfriend in being tall, slender, and having a somewhat narrow head/face (AND lives in Rhode Island!). He's usually a very conservative fellow (he's a professor who is mad with science). There's one game a year (I forget football or soccer.... whatever) that he and his students wear doo rags to. I don't know why, but he looks great in one.

mark the shoeshine boy

Good features...long, narrow face, strong chin, high forehead. I gotta believe that a Stratoliner or Dobbs Westward would look good on him. Especially with the right tilt on the brim AND that tie!

Do you have a crush on my boyfriend? Be honest

Really though thanks for the help!

Just an honest assessment...however, that flower behind your ear IS quite enchanting! lol

Go see Aaron...

I'd take a little ride to Aaron's...http://www.getahaton.com/ He can try on several hundred hats and really see what looks best on him...

Swing Shift:

Hey Miss Bella: If you ever get to see the movie "Swing Shift" (with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel) He wears a cream fedora with black ribbon as his daily lid. I think the style and colour could suit your guy. Soon as I saw your pic with him, I thought immediately of the movie (Which was just on here at home). Take a look and see what you think.

Just a suggestion.
Warm Regards

No means no

:eusa_doh: No do rags!!

So.... that's a definite, eh? I have never stopped by Aaron's Store, but North Conway is a beautiful town and not that far of a ride for you.

His face doesn't look as strange as it sounded. Could you possibly produce pictures of him in a variety of hats?

Hey Dumb The Boyfriend!

HUMOR ALERT: Hey, dump the boyfriend ( heads up JohnnySan) .... I look good in a hat... lol

 

[thefedorastore]

Gone Already

A solution! That's him in the picture


<---

Wow, a moment ago it seemed he was with you in your AVTAR, and now he's gone? lol

He's still my boyfriend, I'll alert the press as soon as I am single and you can get in line...

lol

Unfortunately I don't have the priveleges to post pictures since I am new. But his head isn't STRANGE! Gosh! It's just not wide.

This time of year is a great time to stop at Aaron's. There is a ton of stuff to do and many great places to eat and stay overnight. I would suggest planning a ride to North Conway or even head to Lincoln/Franconia Notch area and cut across the Kankamangus Highway (Rte 112) to North Conway and make the hat shopping a secondary reason to go there. That way you will not be dissappointed by a 3-hour drive in both directions. If Aaron cannot help you out, no one can

That's a great idea. We just had a 16-hour-round-trip-road-trip to Eastport, ME, so a 6-hour-round-trip isn't so bad!

Take the tour...

Eat at Horsefeathers. It's right on the main street, across the green from the train station. I also highly recommend the Kangamangus Highway. It's not for everybody, but I think it's quite scenic. At night, near the highest elevation (at a parking area near Kangamangus pass), it has one of the darkest skies around. The stars jump out at you on a clear night! Be careful of moose near the areas that have water, though... you definitely don't want to hit one.

You might have him try on some wider brimmed hats as well.
I have a similar face shape and find that the narrow brims just don't look quite right.
(Note: My avatar brim is extra wide on purpose for weather protection!)
Also, color makes a big difference to. He may not look good in certain shades.

Speaking of Aaron's, anyone hear what happened to that new Stetson line he was getting?

Boyfriend has since won the lottery, is no longer poor, and everyone agrees that both his hat and his head look just right.
