New fedora wearer!

My new fedora arrived last week, and I wore it to work for the first time today...getting lots of positive compliments and appreciative glances!

It's not a hugely expensive one, a Stetson Chatham in "caribou" (grey), but I like it (I'm partial to the C-crowns at the moment, but can tell I'm going to start looking at other types soon)...now, if I can just "justify" the price of one of those beautiful Borsalinos! :)

BTW, the Village Hat Shop in Long Beach staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when assisting me in picking this one out!

I wear a modern Stetson from time to time . . .

I wear a modern Stetson from time to time . . . Mine is a Downs model, and it is not a bad knock around hat . . .

But the new Stetsons can not compare with the comfort, and style of the classic vintage models of days gone by . . . Save your pennies. I am sure that this hat will not be your last.

I'm already eyeballing a few for my next hat(s) ;)
