My first CUSTOM Hat

I am so proud to show this off here!!! I ordered it from my local master hatter.. the gifted and talented, Mr. Gary White. It is a gray three point pork pie hat, with black ribbon and trim. I LOVE it!! Mr. White did such an excellent job!!!

I apologize for the flash making an odd pattern on the ribbon.. I hope you can make out the bow alright.. I love the look of it!

It's 100% beaver fur, and made proudly right here in Buffalo!

That's really sharp, Bingles. Makes me kind of want to try an porkpie. Very sharp.

A while back during a really busy/crappy week I got a pm from RBH telling me to check out a hat on the bay that I might be interested in. Well I was too busy to check the lounge so it was waay too late by the time I saw the message. Luckily for me he sent another PM shortly after that one saying that he went ahead and bought and if I wanted it I could get it for what he paid! This is what makes the lounge such a great place!:eusa_clap

So here is my first and only vintage hat a Penney's Marathon! I tried to make it a diamond but it wanted to stay that way so I left it. it also had remnants of a ridge down the middle so I coaxed that back.

IC, Still looks good in this thread!

Great Hat IC! I like the Ridgebacks! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[BobC]

That looks GOOD, IC. I like the bash and the ridge. It just seems to me like the right thing to leave these old hats the way they come and let them tell their story.

Nice find, Rusty, and a good price, I hear. If you run across one in my size, keep me in mind, ok?

Interesting - the same color as a Rhodesian Ridgeback too. Symbolic?

I have never run across one of this size at the price it was. It was BUY IT NOW, that was why I got it before I heard from IC, I knew it would be gone.

Mike, hope all is well with you. I'm planning a trip to Memphis in December, 2nd week or so with my Montana buddy. We'll try and schedule some time to stop by and see if you if you'll be around.

New member showing the new and old.

Hello all, I've liked fedoras ever since I saw pics of my grandparents and great uncles all dressed up on their front porch and standing by their cars, and as much as I don't like to admit it, Indiana Jones didn't help any either.

The brown hat is the first one I ever bought, it was made by Gus Miller in Cincinnati about 15 years ago,

the black is not much more than a costume hat, but I'm thinking about changing up my styles,

and the grey is one that I'm thinking about buying from Dave Brown in Rochester, I'm just having a hard time justifying $300 for a hat right now.

As much as I love my hats, sometimes my wife thinks I just look goofy. Is it safe to assume that I'm not the only one in that boat?

 

[warbird]

Welcome. You can buy some very nice hats for far far less than $300. Think Akubra right now with a weak Australian dollar. Check ebay for vintage hats. Akubra check everythingaustralian.com or hatsdirect.com

Lots of choices. Have fun. What size are you?
