The Hats I Bought from Mr. Lucky.

[MrNewportCustom]

My appologies for taking this long to post these pictures, Mr. Lucky. No one's fault but my own for the delay.

And since a lady in the Lounge wanted to see my hair . . .

They fit me very well, Mr. Lucky. Thank you very much and I'll pass your generosity on to another. . . . It's a policy of mine.

NewportCustom, they look good, but could you tell us what they are?

 

[MrNewportCustom]

Oh, sorry. The fedora is a Lee. The liner also reads: Adventure Waterbloc. The paper straw is a Dorfman Pacific. The brim is wired. Mr. Lucky told me that the fedora is about fifty years old and that the straw is newer.

That gray felt Lee may prove to be a treasure. It looks a lot like a stetson Whippett!:eusa_clap

 

[Anders]

Very nice.

Those are both quite sharp! Love the dimensions on the Lee.

Nice hats, but

How did a picture of Van Heflin get in in here?

 

[Mr. Lucky]

They look GREAT on you. Man, I hate when that happens...


Congrats and enjoy.

 

[MrNewportCustom]

Thank you, Mr. Lucky. I'm very pleased with them and I have been enjoying them. I wore the straw to a get-together yesterday. I was the only one there with a hat, and I got a couple comments.

Thank you. I don't know who he is, but since I saw his name in the credits for an Alan Ladd movie earlier today I'll take that as a compliment.

And since a lady in the Lounge wanted to see my hair . . .

Tis a cry'n shame to cover such a thick head of wavy locks with a hat, no matter how nice the lid.

 

[oddlots]

Those are some good lookin' lids!

I, too, have a hat from the generous Mr. Lucky that needs to be photographed for this fine forum. However, I just can't seem to quit enjoying my hat long enough to actually get some pictures! You've inspired me, though, so you should see some up here soon.

Congrats on what appear to be some very nice additions to your collection.

Do you drive a black '52 Chevy with pinstripes? A passing resemblance to a gent I saw parked near Barons Hats, Burbank.

Why thank you, Miss $ally. I take that as a compliment.
Rest assured that genes dictate I'll have it long after it turns gray, too. My mother had an uncle who wore a crew cut well into his seventies, and my father had just a small bald spot until he died in his early seventies.

Thank you, oddlots, but they're not additions. They're just the beginning. I just wish I could have spent more time with Mr. Lucky. But at the time of purchase, I was helping a friend film a scene for a short movie he's making, and Mr. Lucky had other obligations (Simpsons. lol)

You mean there's a guy out there, other than my brothers, who looks like me? SCARY! Alas, no, as I drive a green '67 Chrysler Newport Custom. I've never driven it to Barons, but I went there once in the company truck. (Don't tell anyone. lol)

Wow!

The hats are nice, too.
