I went with a Royal Stetson in steel grey today:

Good looking combo - hat/atire. B-man you can look rugged and yet dressed in your hats. Nice job communicating the different parts of your life.

I am looking forward to the casual bowler/homberg and dressy bower/homberg pics, or even the pics! ;) Seriousely, your enjoyment of the hats comes across to me the viewer. For that reason you wear a great variety well, IMO.

Best, Eric -

Alan, in addition to all of your wonderful hats, it is a true inspiration for me to see these photos of your family. Makes me want to be better than I am. Thanks for sharing them.

Eric, you are too kind sir! These are the nicest words I've heard (read) all day. It's nice to make acquaintances here on the lounge; it can, at times, give that extra push to make it through otherwise stressful days. Thanks.

More casual and dressy pics with rolled brim variations to come!

Bowlerman- that is my top favorite hat of yours. I love it man, and it looks smashing with a tux.

...and the Copperpot is my top favorite of yours! Awesome expressive photo, too.

Let me also add that I had the [dis]pleasure of being served a very non-authentic red velvet cupcake at lunch today. Can't complain too much, though-- it was free. As my dad always says, "It's always a good gig when they give you food!"

WOW... this thread is on fire!

I followed AL's lead today... fortunate to trade with Josh for a beautiful Stetson Standard Quality which just arrived.

Handsome get-up, there, David, but ay 10 degrees I think earmuffs might be in order!

Thanks Randall. Actually the only part of me that was cold was the fingers on the hand carrying back the Dunkin Donuts tray. Only a few minutes walk, but gets cold fast!

I really like that hat on you, David. Great proportions.

Thanks, Mike!

That Bates is a fine looking lid, David. 33F this morning here in Minnesota with no snow in the forecast. A very bizarre December for us.

Been a really warm December for us too, Al. No snow since the storm back in October, the one that blacked out the whole state. Looks as though things are warming up already after this little 24 hour cold spell.

David-- that's a super shot of you in a great hat. I'm enjoying the different photo angle, as it shows the proportions in context better.

Thanks, Jeff - as you can see, I'm trying to mix things up a little.

Nice Bates, mate.

Cheers, Mate!!

Oh, fantastic hats everyone - this thread just gets better all the time!

More smiles from my corner.

(Jeff, I bet Alan can't hold a candle to your oboe playing, and I bet his pipe collection pales by comparison. :D)

B-man, that Royal Stetson looks fabulous. Very nice!

Alan, another very stylish addition. You just keep racking 'em up.

Zet, that Borso is just gorgeous, I envy you!

So many lovely lids, hard to know where to start! Congrats to all.

Oh yes, and Ale, once you go thin, you never go back! or something like that!!

Perry: A sincere thanks for your always kind comments!


Alan: Congrats on your new black beauty. Those old Standard Quality lids are just magnificent! Fine, fine felt with impeccable finishing and top-shelf trimmings. The brim flanging, as you pointed out, is just spot on perfect, to my eyes. Perhaps we should start a thread dedicated specifically to the Stetson Standard Quality.
