Post New Hats Here!

[Jauntyone]

That is one beautiful hat, Jauntyone. It's a perfect combination with this suit, too. The hat could have a wider brim, perhaps. But this is just my personal taste - no offense, sir!

Thanks, Henry! I'm always interested in my fellow Loungers' opinions.

Where do you guys get all those hat stands from?

Very Sharp, Jaunty. I have an OR clone milan braid from Biltmore, I really like it. Will be wearing it soon.

Nice-looking San Remo, Gama.

Nice-looking San Remo, Gama.

Thanks! I was actually pleasantly surprised by the hat.

I've just received a two-toned, Biltmore milan from Hatsdujour, an Ebay vendor:

The international shipping was really quick. The hat is very nice: 2 1/8 brim, crown not too skimpy, and the milan braid is far, far finer than the modern Dobbs I have. It is almost vintage 1960s fine. It also has a real lether sweatband. I'm very happy with the hat and impressed with the quick shipping.

Jauntyone, you wear the 1960s as if you'd been there. I always enjoy your pictures and your outfits. Thanks for posting.

best,
Alan

Thanks, Alan. I really enjoy your posts, too. You've got some nice hats!

Royal Stetson Playboy

Color was very hard to capture with my Canon point and shoot... it's a loden green with copper colored ribbon. Very clean example, soft felt of fair quality. An interesting comparison to my earlier playboy which, in it's modest unstructured style, is sublime. The later version is sublime minus, I would say.

Cheap and cheerful newsboy style cap from Jaxon Hats...

 

[HatsEnough]

Very jaunty, djd.

 

[djd]

Jaunty is my middle name....

 

[zetwal]

Unique individual style. Lot's of personality. I like it ... :yo:

 

[alanfgag]

I thought that was Sean Connery in your avatar... until I saw this. Love the cap!

 

[hatophile]

DJD, you do resemble Sean, although looking a little French in that hat and scarf, I think.

 

[djd]

Thanks chaps! I do have a French surname so maybe it's some natural instinct asserting itself... At least I fought off the urge to put onions around my neck....

Très bien! That is a very nice hat sir!

Best new hat postings in months. Everybody always seams so serious and straight faced.

DJD and Jauntyone both look happy as a clams in dirt, good form fellas.

 

[djd]

Thanks Navarre! I didn't think a serious face was an option with that particular hat

 

[GamaH]

Not really related to hats, but boy am I glad to see someone else wearing scarves.

 

[djd]

Yes. Have really got into scarves and cravats recently. I think it's a great way of giving a vintage feel to a non vintage outfit

 

[delectans]

Gorgeous!

Outstanding! You wear that cap with aplomb and panache!
