policy?

My new bluegrass green Campdraft, not really wearing it right now because we have a "no hats in the building" policy at work (except for religious reasons). The dress code is pretty lax and there are a few people who come in wearing a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops, but God forbid that somebody wears a nice fedora.

are you not allowed to wear them in / out of the building??? I can see not allowing you to wear them all day, but to say hats off as soon as you hit the door is a bit ridiculous...

very nice hat btw, the bluegrass and glen grey are on my "short" list.

Well, it's not that strict. I take it off and hang it up once I get to my desk, and put it back on when I leave in the evening.

Mallory stingy. This is more modern, as it is obvious from its proportions. I do have some of these, which I do not wear as often, but that work well, at least to my eye, with certain outfits - as in this case, 60s inspired.

Regards!

It does indeed work well as part of this ensemble :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
Keep up the great job you're doing of inspiring the rest of us - I love seeing some of the more 50's and 60's based looks you post here :D

On the move again...
My first real Fedora purchase. Im not sure of the model, but it is a Beaver Brand. Bought it in a little place called Heads Up in Virginia City, Nevada back in mid 2004. I think I paid a whole $40 for it. They had a $60 price tag on it and knocked another $20 off. I suppose they were looking to make room for new inventory. It did a fair job out in the snow when I was on a couple of Land Surveying Projects up by Lake Tahoe in the middle of winter.
It's a bit rough to the touch, but it makes a great knock around hat. Nothing too dressy. The sweatband is a fiber material, but surprisingly comfortable.

It just felt right today.

Why do you ask?
never hand someone who doesn't know how to use an SRL your camera...

Today's ensemble was labeled "tasteful" by a family member, so I thought I'd have them snap a "full body" photo.

Hat: Akubra Fed IV [tawny fawn]
Shirt: Gap Classic Oxford [light blue]
Jeans: Wrangler 13MWZ/Cowboy Cut [I'm really into Wrangers lately]
Boots: Dr. Marten's

[As you can see, the photo's more meh than yay, but it still documents what I'm wearing today [note that I'm not as pale as I look here]... remind me to never have someone who doesn't know how to use an SLR take my photo on one, okay? ;)]

I do it regularly, and people ask how it works.
There's a comedian (I can't remember who), who does a great little routine on this subject. "What do I do?", they all ask. "Push the button on the top right, where it's been for the last hundred years", he mocks.

I handed my camera to a guy at the Settlers festival and decided, for the first time, to instruct the person on how to zoom and what to push. The one guy I choose to instruct - the owner of the largest school photo company in the state. :eusa_doh:

I didn't know he was a pro until, as he took our photos, he said "chin up". No one says that but those school/family portrait guys.
