Looks like a nice one, Jimmy. Light blue with navy?
Hey, Bob -- great to see you here! It's a light blue/gray felt with dark blue/gray ribbon.
And, thanks Chepstow and Mr. Slick.

Not the best picture quality as my camera's battery died. iPhone shot of my new (Got it last month at Graham's NY trunk show) "Park Avenue" Optimo in their new color Laguna Blue.
Yes I don't need to own two blue hats.
Just making sure this 6 7/8 Bartonelli won't fit my 7 1/2 head before relisting it
DJH and Aure, you guys look like movie stars.
Just making sure this 6 7/8 Bartonelli won't fit my 7 1/2 head before relisting it (see classifieds):
Just
I found an original price tag in the sweat....$7.95!! - I paid almost 3 times that! - ripped off again!
While our farmers are preoccupied with the harvest this Autumn, I have been busy as well. My luck in finding nice vintage lids that fit my 7-1/2 melon continued yet again this past weekend.
Early Saturday morning, with the sun still low in the eastern sky. '40s Stetson Whippet. Undersized and overpriced.
Exquisite '40s Stetson Royal DeLuxe St. Regis. Near pristine condition save for a few smudges on the binding. Resistol box was sadly empty.
Big hat with a bargain price.
Back outside in the glorious sunshine. Barbisio Lugano on my noggin. Lee Blue Label Trinity in hand, and Portis SUPER-LUX on top of the Lee box.
Strong incandescent light washes out the violet undertone of the Portis.
The Lee Trinity has a beautiful factory block and wind trolley.
Back at Orchestra Hall Saturday evening, this time in the audience. Royal Hat Works.
That St.Regis wouldn't happen to be a 7 3/8 ??
Nice 50 looks great!
