Post New Hats Here!

[Gaige]

I'm working on the bash now, but this one just seem to appear while I was working on it. I don't know what this bash is called, similar to a diamond.

It looks great!

 

[GWD]

Thanks Gaige!


Hey Guys? Does this bash have a name? Just curious, I think I've seen the same bash somewhere here in the lounge. I think I recall something about a cross. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

That's a nice looking crease, GWD! :eusa_clap

Cheers,

LoL....

Would that ribbon be considered "bunting"?...You could change it out for different holidays!:eusa_clap

Sorry Colby, it's gotta go.... :eusa_doh:

Seeking another hat of European influence for the summer, a few weeks ago I ordered a fine-knit cotton beret from the folks at John Helmer.

I thought about a wool one, but figured that would be a bit toasty in the sun, hence the cotton. I may buy a wool beret come this autumn.

At first my dad and brothers were giving me weird looks, but what else is new? I have noticed, though, that I've gotten many positive comments from the ladies. ~_^

You could send it to Colby to put on his Bushman!:eusa_clap

This is probably a dumb question but does it matter what side the "excess is on? I am only used to seeing US military berets which were always pulled down over the right ear.

Bianchi arrived today.



It would probably look good with a thin Black ribbon eh, RBH?

Yeah it would... but WOW... I kinda like that ribbon! Very different!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Thanks Gaige!

Fantastic hat!!!!

 

[RBH]

Anj... that is one great Open Road!!!!! You did very well!

This is actually my first hat that wasn't a hand me down. I'm very happy with it.

Javaist, Welcome to the Lounge...and I love the bound edge! Great summer hat!!!!!

The Portis Lite-Wate Arrived!

This hat is too cool! One of my favorites!

I kind of got the impression this was in competition with the Dobbs Rainbow maybe?

I did a quick search of the Portis hats in this forum and the liner in this one is very unique. What do you think? 50's?

I shouldn't think it would matter, being a European, rather than military, beret.

 

[indycop]

Ah ok!

 

[Wesne]

Love that Portis GWD! The ribbon, the brim binding (which looks to match the stripes on the ribbon - a nice touch), the proportions, everything. Judging by the pictures you've posted of yourself, including your avatar, I'll bet it looks smashing on you and really goes well with your style.

 

[BobC]

Very nice, GWD. I like the striped ribbon. I don't think I've seen one before.

 

[Selentino]

Darn you all!

fftopic: I've been quite happy for many months lurking on this site. I've loved clothes all my life but have been ashamed of what passes for being well dressed today. I came across this site by accident and told my wife "look I'm not the only one" I've lurked and lurked and you lot have cost me quite a few dollars by awaking the clothes hound within me. But I can lurk no more! First Deckard and Newcastle and now the hat auction. So I'm in,
Greetings to all! And as pennance for my sins I will be offering up pics of some of my treasures.

I shouldn't think it would matter, being a European, rather than military, beret.

I've seen it worn in Spain in the Basque part of the country with the excess worn forward as in a flat cap.
The side to which military berets are worn depends on the country from which the uniform originates. We Dutch wear it to the right, as the Brits and also the US do, but the French for instance wear it to the left.

My New Jimmy Pierce

I just received my first Jimmy Pierce Design Custom. I ran across his work over at COW and liked what I saw. Jimmy is a young guy that will only get better as he masters the craft. This is a real nice, gray rabbit Fedora that fits like a glove.
