Post New Hats Here!

[alanfgag]

Thanks all.

Rusty, you can't blame a guy for trying.

Alan... that is not your hat.

Too low a crown... too wide a ribbon and the crease is just not you.
I say this as all the hats you wear look great .... this one just dont work. IMO.

I might have to agree with Rusty on this one. Hope you don't mind the observations, Alan.

Not at all. I depend on you guys to call it as you see it.

Amazing straw Alan. Simply fantastic.

I think I'm in love!

This is my first VS hat. Blue Smoke with a Charcoal Band and Gray Accent. Teardrop Crown. A hat that finally fits me. I cant wait to receive my second hat. My sister said that it is the best looking hat I own. Forgive the photo setup, as there is a jar of coins holding it up.

This hat is fantastic. I love the ribbon treatment on it!

A mysterious straw with no markings other than the simple sweatband imprint. Some additional thoughts in the Panama Canal.

"Marke Gral - vom Schoenen das Schoenste" (trans: of the beautiful, the most beautiful)

Here's my latest find that I'm very pleased with. Got it last night. Fits me like a glove. Charcoal grey, it's by a German hat maker that I can only find one reference to:
'Zeumer Hut-Fabrik', Mannheim, which makes sense because I bought it near Mannheim.

No idea how old it is.

The shop also had a brown Borsalino, but to my annoyance it was too small. Very nice it was, too!

Love the color cordinated sweatband and liner. Great hat has a fuzzy texture too.

Super find! I will comment in the German - Austrian thread. Also please post the photos over there when you have a moment.

I wouldn't say it doesn't work, but it seems a little too frivolous for Alan. He matches up well with the more serious-looking hats, whch BTW don't necessarily go well on everybody. Most hats are on the serious side, I think.

Stetson Austral, 4XXXX Buffalo (whatever that means) from the Old West and American Buffalo Collections. More pics coming up in the "Western, Anyone?" thread.

First post. I found this hat at an estate sale, which is what brought me to this board--I was looking for more information. I love what I see so far.

My mom joked that she thought the picture remided her of the old "Kilroy was here" grafitti.

Stetson Austral, 4XXXX Buffalo (whatever that means)...

It can only mean that it took four buffaloes to make that hat!

 

[EggHead]

Real hard core hat - Xtreme triple X?

 

[T Rick]

Lol! I was thinking 4 rabbits and a buffalo...

Seriously, we all know the X's have no discernible meaning any more, I wonder why they keep up the charade? Anyway, it's an interesting hat, and I think will serve me well. For now, I've switched to my green brown & black Hat People cap. Very comfy. Need to get some pics of it on.

 

[bowlerman]

looks great, T!

Welcome, harty-- that's all I need-- another enabler here in my town! Well, I hope we're at least different sizes. Welcome to the lounge. What hat is that black one? Looks like a nice find.

 

[IsaacRN]

That is one cool hat T Rick. It reminds me of the hat Kurt Russell wore in Tombstone.

 

[davidraphael]

Here's about cheap as you can get: An off-the-rack, brown, light-weight, no-lining trilby from a discount label store for £10...
Made supposedly by "Failsworth of Manhattan" (but if you look up Failsworth they're in Manchester, UK - which is where I bought the hat)

...but for some reason, I like it...

Thanks guys. Isaac, it does me also, except of course that one was black and had a 4 inch brim. River Junction Tade Company offers a really nice looking replica of that hat (at a pretty reasonable price IMO). Check it out here.

TRick, I don't know if you've had a positive experience with the hats from River Junction. I made one, non-hat, purchase from them, and I would never consider even looking at their site again. Here's the story.

Never bought a hat from them so I can't say. I have bought a few other items from them (though it was years ago), and had no issues at all (in fact I was quite pleased). Off to read your linked story now.
