Torpedo's new hat came from Florida!

[Torpedo]

Hello,

Some time ago, I was discussing with fellow lounger Gene (HarpPlayerGene) about some spare feathers he was going to kindly send me. Not that I am fond of such an aditament generally speaking, but I have a couple of hats which look like could look good with them.

Well, a couple of days ago, as it happened, I received a package, and, discovered, in Gene's own words, that he decided to send the feather... with a hat attached to it.

It is a lovely shade of coffee brown Knox, with a 2'' brim. Bow treatment is nice! The feather is a panache of brown and orange hues.

Today I premièred the hat. I must add this is the first time I wear a fedora I have not myself bought, so it felt like it was an special occassion; hence, I substituted my usual necktie for a more dressy diamond-tip bowtie (self styled of course ), in golden tone with orangeish accents, seeking to harmonize with the feather.

Thanks Gene! You have made a happier man of me today.

Nice, Torp. I like the wide ribbon and the feather. That looks great on you.

Hey, Gene, I like feathers.

A super hat from a super guy! It looks great on you too!
But I still like the thin ribbon on you best!!

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Alriiiight, it finally got there! That hat looks totally right on you, Torp' - better than it did on me. (Great tie too!) Glad it got there eventually and in good shape, and glad you like it.

Thanks for the kudos, fellas. Sending a little 'hat karma' around seemed like the thing to do.

Rusty, you crack me up with the thinribbonisms!

Bob, I like feathers too, in some hats.

Wow HPG, you've got a very good idea of what hat
works for some guys. That hat is a very good look for Torpedo.
I wish I could do that for myself, let alone for others. That's
a talent.

Although, of course, the original Torpedo wore what appears to
have been 6" dimensional brim...

Hello,

Thank you everybody for the comments!

I thought the special occassion merited a post of its own, instead of my customary entry in the ""What hat are you wearing today" thread.

Hey Rusty, admit it: there's life beyond thin ribbons!

Regards!

Nice score Torpedo, it's wonderful that it looks good on you as well.

Props to Gene

Torpedo, what a great look with the hat/tie combo! Its the interest and class of the people like Gene on this forum that keep one addicted to the place. Well done!

What a nice surprise that must have been! The hat looks great on you too.
