Post New Hats Here!

[/QUOTE]I may leave it with a cattleman's crease to preserve its heritage and because I don't have one or I may give it a different bash, but my question what is the correct way to wear a cattleman's crease? Should the brim be left up or should it be snapped down?

Thank you, Jonathon and Steve. Great hat! [/QUOTE]

You're welcome, Bob! That lid was made for you! Just for variety, I suggest you go brim up in front - in honor of LBJ!

Here's something a little different. Nice new beret I got earlier today by Jonathan Richard in Ireland.

Thanks everyone. Here's another new one.. I'm done for a while, my pockets are getting empty. This one's a fur felt bowler by Bailey.

And they will only get emptier!

Nice bowler, when I was your age I always wanted a derby, never got a real one. Still dont have one....
Glad to see you wearing sporting such a fine lid!!

Fantastic hat . . .where did you find that, I would love to get something like that.

Thanks CigarMan, It's a Mallory Panama and I was lucky enough to find on ebay this past Spring. Good Luck.

I kept the cattleman's crease on mine, but wore the brim down. I just didn't have the cojones to wear it up. I liked it better down.
But somehow I suspect LBJ, Ike and Harry are up there looking down at me going "Tsk, tsk."

Man, that's every bit the '30s and may well be earlier.

Thick nap style, unreeded sweatband, paper tag/typography style, light orange-ish/brown, wide leather, embossing rather than gold foil printing, adjustable inside bow. All indications of a hat that could be 1910s - 1930s to my eye.

Cool.

Stetson Excellent Quality Bowler

Not nearly as nice as it appears, but the price was right for a piece of history.

Can you please shoot the inside of the 3x gold medallion. I don't think I've heard of that one. As always, great stuff.

That 3X is a darn fine hat with that color and reverse taper. Good hats all around.

Just got this in the mail. Dobbs Fifteen from GoneSolo. Good communication and fast shipping (2 days).

5" crown, almost a 3" brim. Like new condition, nice soft felt. It's 6 7/8" so a little tight for my head but a little stretch will solve that. My new favorite hat.

Awesome hat, thunder!! Looks great on you and you wear it well! I'm sure you'll get lots of wear out of that one this season.

 

[RBH]

I am finding it a little difficult to imagine honoring LBJ but less so HST or Ike. I like my hats snapped down but maybe once in a while I can wear them up for those two.
