I have been searching for a fedora like Bogart's and I finally found one. I have been wearing a pendleton wool fedora for a couple of years now, but I have never really been satisfied with the look.

Here is my new hat. A vintage "Parkshire" from thr B. R. Baker men's store in Cleveland Ohio.

Thanks to all the members here. I gained a lot of useful information for my search from lurking on these forums.
About 4 years later, the Parkshire changed hands via eBay. I'm the new owner and very happy with it. It appears Lizardberry changed the creases slightly by sharpening them up, but they look good and I've left them as-is. Very fine hat, has an early (pre-1950s?) look and feel to it and I'm very happy to have it. I wore it for a self portrait I made in PS, and I took it out for a spin today. Definitely one for the favorites pile.

Finally getting around to posting this one. Its been around for several days. I've been wanting a Stetson 100 for some time and they rarely come up in my size. After looking for several years for an OR, two pop up in about ten days. I am officially outa the market place for awhile.
Congratz. I would love to have an 100 but the one I want seems to never ever been made.

Like the hat, really like the self portrait. Looks like a publicity still for a 1940s or 50s movie.
