It’s funny when we generalize certain styles to decades and the reasonable refrain goes out. “It’s not like exactly 1960 the brims and Crown got shorter overnight”. This ad kinda says… “it’s 1960 and you will buy a short brim hat and you will like it!”
Thank you @BobHufford
A lot to love on that one, RandyMy new Lords hat. 6 inch open crown, 2 inch brim, 2 inch ribbon. It has a Cavanagh edge but, as it is part of the brim curl, it is well hidden from view. I'm still smoothing out the old felt creases, so I'll have some head shots in a few days. There is some handwritten script on the inside of the sweatband that looks original, and the reorder tag is intact but folded over on itself, but the sweat is to the point I'm not willing to risk damage, so those pictures will have to wait!
Thank you @BobHufford

Agreed yes she did great on this one. Very classic looking old school Panama fedora. Love the puggaree.The spousal unit did OK last weekend, finding herself this killer Dobbs Panama with a 3" brim. Good eye.

She chose you, so she must have seen something thereShe's learned a lot along with me. She's also an antiquer (Vaseline Glass and jewelry). Plus, as a woman, she can smell a good deal when she drives by the store.
