Post New Hats Here!

[rogueclimber]

There was just something didnt look quite right the way last nights ribbon was sitting (think I had it a bit too snug).

SO ...got up early and removed it. Thought Id try somethng a bit different and try some khaki I had... I kinda like it. Totally changes the look with a lighter color. Ive also got a slightly darker taupe I may try while Im at it. ( just wrapped a piece around to show the color)

May very well end up going back to a dark brown. before Im through, but Ill make my decision BEFORE sewing it on this time lol.. Is there such a thing as too many choices?

I think the top one makes the look POP!

They all look good. But I do really like the dark taupe on there.

Second that!

Your preference trumps all of course, but personally, I like the khaki best.

A long hair Stetson 3X ME. I don't think I'll be wearing this until at least the Fall,

I feel your pain! Ive got several nice lids that are just too warm for a Texas summer..... Do like I do... Crank the A/C down to about 65 and just walk around the house with them... at least they feel loved and not ignored for several m onths lol

Picked up some grass fed beef, a huckleberry pie, and a Stetsonian in my size for $30 at the local farmer’s market this morning. A great start to the day .

No wrong answer among that bunch, but I really like the first one.

Took the new Roadster B out for coffee this morning with the Khaki ribbon. I really liked the look, but decided to go ahead and make a ribbon and bow out of dark brown. Little more civilized and a little less POP (Pimp on Parade) lol.
It was a bit flatter brim than I like, so I did a little trip to the flange block so I could snap it a bit better. Think Ive got it to the point I can leave it alone and just wear it now

Here's an interesting one. Just had to pick this one up.

Collins&Fairbanks Co extra quality fedora in grey. Size 57 or 58 (not quite sure) with the bound brim a smidge under 7cm and the crown at an impressive 11,5cm at the center dent. There is a small label with a 5 on inside of the sweatband, but you can just about see the 1/8 on the lower right side of the label, so indeed either a 57 or a 58.
It really wanted the camber style it is in right now. The label tells us what we expected of this hat. It was actually made by Mossant and the colour is called Gris Lugano. There is a label with the JB logo stuck over the Mossant label though. JB being Jean Bourrel, a French manufacturer in its own right, and it is likely that in this case they were the wholeseller to Collins and Fairbanks. The hat has great styling and felt and weighs 106 grams. But is is too big for me (dang!).

New Doria Panama....

Not a very fine weave, but it's very lightweight

and the coolest hat with a brim I currently own.

I don't know enough about Panamas to say anything else....};^))

Cappello super!
Whoever made it exhibited exceptional qualities.
If it is too big you can always send it to Verona

Grazie, Daniele. I could and would, but then it wouldn't be big enough. Neither of us wins with this one. Someone else will have to be its new master.

I'm with Joe, Alan. Super find.

It's always a bonus in my book when the Bon Ton Ivy is mentioned on the sweat.

[The Shooman]

Went to the mountains to visit and get fitted by one of the panama hat maestro. He designs some of the most stylish panama hats you have ever seen, and the hats give off such great looks. It is winter here in Australia so haven't got the right clothes to wear them yet, but bought these hats before they got sold out again.

The New Yorker panama
Gives off a really sophisticated look. A really low crown and curled up brim.

The Iconoclast panama
Have wanted this hat for ages, and finally they stock it again. While it looks the same as the New Yorker, it gives off a completely different look. It has a more curved and wider brim, and it is a real attention getting hat. A real boss man hat.

Both the New Yorker and the Iconoclast


He might be stocking the New Yorker as a monticristi soon. That wouldlook incredible.

Found in a consignment store in New Hampshire… apparently it was the last from a group of men’s hats that came from one home. Wish I could have seen the others!

If only you'd gotten there earlier, Alan. I shudder to think what beauties you might have found.

At least you found one beauty.
