What hat are you waiting for today?

[Mighty44]

D’oh—of course.

Very nice.

This will be looking for a new home as soon as I receive it:

So using Christmas money and a combination of post Christmas savings I ordered a Stetson Amish fedora from Village Hats in buffalo felt.

I am thinking giving it a brick crease or similar crease when it arrives in a couple of weeks.

A before Christmas splurge and a hat brand I have occasionally been asked to make comparisons to, is an Akubra Campdraft in their Imperial felt. I ordered from Hats Direct in sand/silver belly.

I have not decided what crease this one will get beyond it not being a cattleman's crease as it does not fit my normal attire. I will consider any suggestions and see how she ends up. She should be arriving today or tomorrow.

Just placed an order this week for an Optimo Chicago in jet black!

Anybody familiar with Fifth Avenue Hats?

Don’t have any answers or info but I have one. Mine also has Plymouth Hats embossed on the sweat, Anton on the sticker. Nice quality fedora.

Cool. Once I got mine in hand, the reorder tag revealed it was made by GW Alexander hats. Yours looks like a nice hat.

 

[Rmccamey]

Whew, I'm glad the hat is made with authentic X's, Bob, and not just regular X's!

Okay, I asked in order to learn something.

Thank you for the explanation.

Yeah … you gotta watch out for the bogus ‘X’ hats. I know I’ll sleep better knowing these are real.

I haven’t bought a ball cap in years. Some venders give them away to us at work…though less now than in years past. I had to buy this cap because it’s a 62cm and it’s a Purdey! I’ve admired Purdey shotguns for a long time but this is likely as close as I’m going to get.

This Purdey would be just as good if not better, Brent! Happy New Year!

Is it weird that I prefer this Purdey?

About equal odds that I’ll find either taking up residence in my home.

Good grief! Quick, someone take that poor young lady out and feed her a pizza or twenty!

Tossed out a low bid and won this Dobbs derby for $8.50. Not my size so it will go into the pile to re-sell.

Busting into a new pallet with a blue hat. Not sure what I'll wear it with, and it'll probably stay on the shelf until spring. But I couldn't resist the "Flying Cloud" liner. My first Knox; also, I read on here somewhere that Flying Clouds are hard to come by over 7 1/4 (I'm 7 3/8). Seller admits a couple of moth bites, but otherwise the hat looks clean, and the sweat and liner look to be in good shape. Another post re: clouds asked about the pin; looks like they represent maritime flags. This one reads, "Changing my course to port."

Nice find, Granville. Love that liner.

 

[Rmccamey]

Cool, yes the liner is tops!
