I'll Lock Up

I'd...you know.
My second Optimo milan arrived from, of all places, Guam...Best of all, I thought that the ribbon was shades of gray, but it's actually shades of green.
I am in New Orleans on business and low and behold a great hat shop was just a block away .... Soo I had to go buy something! Meyer the Hatter was the name of the place ... Huge selection!!! The guy in the store was very helpful but he talked me into a stingy (well stingy for me 2") with a low crown. I have lost quit a bit of weight so the stingy didnt look alm that bad!! I needed a packable less costly hat for travel anyway. I typically wear taler Crowns and wider brims but what the heck I'm not going to smash my VS custome into a suitcase like I will this one so I took a chance!!!
Ok chaps honest opinions only!! Does the stingy look ok on me or just goofy!! I am so use to wearing larger brims that I never consider the shorter ones!!
Thanks

That looks like it has potential, Rodkins, what color is it?
Sounds lovely Did it belong to a member of the Czech Mafia who got offed?
Doesn't look bad at all. Looks quite nice, in fact. I recently went to purchase a Stetson Whippit (sp?) but let the gal at the hat store talk me into trying on a Mercury w/ a 2 inch brim. I must have spent an hour in the store in front of the mirror. Finally, I left without making any purchase at all; said I would bring my wife back to help me decide. I still can't decide!
Kkaderly,
From the first shot, I say it looks pretty good on ya, the second, I agree with AlanF, may be a little too close to tell. The hat in your avatar looks great!
Beige with a hint of some Czech mud and sweat and a very light hue of blood splatter.

Art needs to offer that color.
Great hat. You look good in those mid-ribbons.
Thanks Hatophile!! I love the hat in my profile ... the stingy I am still not sure about ... it will work nice in a suitcase and will be an interesting change of pace ... but it needs just a little more brim ... looks too much like the hats the kids are wearing now a days!!!
