What hat are you waiting for today?

[drmaxtejeda]

Don’t you dare trim an El Presidente!!
You could prob sell it and get 3 or 4 nice vintage hats. Or just keep it for who knows what times.

OK, that's a better idea. And to think it was the El Presidente that took me down this path.

All I wanted was a hat like Raylan Givens' in "Justified." And then, in the final episode, I saw the green hat the assasin wore in the duel.

I read in the net it was an Optimo Chicago. It wasn't, but I was going to Chicago the following week anyway, and there I fell in love with Optimo and Fedoras.

Whew! I thought for a minute you might actually do it. It is a beautiful hat as is.

I’ve been looking for an extra stingy Whippet with a distressed lived in look. If they put some burn marks and grease on it I’d consider it, but I can’t go above $1,500.00.

I’d have taken the chance too. Did they at least provide lots of high quality photos? I’m looking forward to seeing your hat when it arrives.

If you would be happy if it doesn't come close to fitting then I'm your huckleberry...

Looking forward to seeing more of that one. Looks like good dimensions.

I already have a Stetson El Presidente. It is last in my to-wear list, though.
Too cumbersome, loud, and stiff.

Apart from the low crown and hatband, pretty cool!

Needs more matchstick.

Well, I had to fold them, not stack them, but I have about 18 hats fully recovered already, with three to go.

It's hard work, though, Bowen! I was at it for three hours last night, and about eight today.
I am fast becoming competent in the diamond crease, too.
It is amazing how well they respond to brushing and steaming.
And almost all of them are a perfect fit, and the few that are not are only a light stretch away.

Pulled the trigger on another nice Homburg. This one by Mac Lachlin (or is it McLachlin?) from a fellow lounger. Always wanted one in gray. Careful what you wish for...Ya might just get it!
