Post New Hats Here!

[Feraud]

This hat is really neat. I just got it from Buler this past weekend. Thanks Bill!!!!
The felt is extremely soft and its color is brown with white hairs mixed in. Almost like a heather felt, but just two colors, brown and white. It has that Straight sided/flat top crown that I absolutely love. Here's some pics:

One of the nicest I've seen in a while! Congrats on it.
What is the brim length?

Beauty Josh! I hope you have a sunroof.

What a great old fedora, Josh! Similar in many ways to my old Dobbs. I love the lines, frayed ribbon, and felt. Looks like a nice tall crown as well. :eusa_clap:clap2:

Josh- interesting frosted brownie you got there! i've never seen anything like it-- congrats!

Thanks very much everybody!! I really appreciate it!! Ive had my eye on this hat for a long time now, and I finally had a chance to pick it up from Bill. I love the proportions. Feraud, the brim is about a 2 1/4 inches which really accentuates that tall crown. The crown is 5 5/8- 5 3/4, but has that really flat top with tall sides. Its perfect for that gangster look. Alan, I need a sunroof now....LOL. My Z28 Camaro is a hard top, so maybe I can tilt my head out the window....but the hat doesn't have a wind trolley. I know, I will just sit very low in the seat. HAHA. But seriously, its a tall crown, and when I started wearing hats, I never though that I would like tall crowns. Most 40's and 50's tall crowns look huge on me (probably because of the brim size), but for some reason, the proportions of a 20's or early 30's hat, always seem to look right on me. At least I think it looks right on me. Again, THANKS everyone!

Beautiful Thin ribbons, Alan!! You also had a great comparison of the two. Thats quite an exciting day when you get two incredible hats. Nice finds!!

Thanks, hatophile. I'm going to have to limit myself to no more than 2 hats a month. I love collecting them, but my house is starting to look like a Haberdashery store. I'm curious how long I can actually keep my two hat a month limit going. [huh]

Well, you alluded to a fiancée in another thread . . . I'd think your two hats per month habit might end about the same time as your honeymoon!

I'll probably be disposing of most of these moderately stingy Bees

Yeah, sure you will.

Forget it. for me it goes in waves. This week there happened to be a gold mine around my area, and today I grabbed this Royal Stetson stingy overwelt in charcoal grey for ten beautiful dollars. How can a guy walk away without it for that price? If only my wife would find deals as good...
the hat is great, and in really good condition, save for a small blemish where a little dye from the lining stamp ran onto the plastic protective cover. I hate the first picture, but it displays a pretty accurate felt color. (1st photo now edited)
Also-- I don't think I've seen a feather quite like this one. I may very well leave it in. It reminds me of a rose petal.

Jeff: You are on a roll, great lid at an unbeatable price. I would keep the feather as well...I rather like it as it is the perfect, understated accent to the charcoal grey felt. Congrats!

Alejandro: I think it is quite obvious to all of us that you are slipping into relapse. Could not resist even a mini-lid, could you?? lol

That's the common ebay misconception. They're gift hats. Some are plastic, some are felt, and I've even seen a few metal ones.

My apologies for the photographic tardiness. Here's a few shots of my new beaver-felt Stetson...

Though I didn't buy this from eBay, it's good to know what they really are. Thanks Lefty!

I think this has got to be a first. I've never seen a tricorne hat on the Fedora Lounge before now!
