Nice photos Barrowjh. Definitely a happy occasion.

Nice whiskey Job. For some reason (probably the lighting) your whiskey looks like pecan in that photo.

Elosegui Plato Grande today

David - as always, an impeccable choice. The Stetson looks to be in fantastic condition.
Job - I don't own a Falcon Park, but I should. I like the crease on this one. Felt looks quite nice.
Casechopper - I was going to pull the trigger on one of these caps, but my wife nixed the idea. You pull it off well. I'm thinking I could too, with the right amount of attitude.


Champ "Kasmir Finish" on this warmer and finally sunny day in Cleveland.

Fine group of hats this morning, Gents.

My offering for today is yesterdays Pedigree "The Airie".

I like this one. The color combo of the hat and ribbon, the tall crown, and the wide brim. This definitely works for me. I'd like to see a few more angles of this one....side, front back. Nice one Mystic.

Barrowjh – What a great welcome.

Gdurand – Nice Milan. I gotta get me one of those.

1mach1 – That is a nice hat. Beautiful lines.

David – What a classic beauty.

John – I love the color and the felt looks nice and substantial.

Casechopper – Where’s the paint and easel, monsieur? Great.

Andy – I love those 40’s-50’s Champs, they are fabulous (as is yours).

Mystic – I’m just working out the details on robbing your hats. I’ll let you know when I’m coming. Another stunner.

My new Cavanagh.

jhe888 - Nice Milan. I really, really gotta get me one of those. But since we're still in the 50s and down into the 30s at night, my fur felts are just fine for now.

Nice photos everyone!

JHE, great shot - I feel the heat. David, I've forgotten, is the ribbon on the 25 original? Beautiful.

I chose a Borsalino Misto for a sunny morning.

Good afternoon Gents! Very nice lids to the start of a Spring day! You guys all look great!

Harv, I like that Stetson R.D. buddy!
David, Your Stetson 25 is a real beaut! Very nice!
casechopper, you pull off the berets really well. It definitely looks natural on you.
Andy, Nice! I love the Whippet like styling on that! Classic!
Jhe, Another straw! Spring is definitely here!
miamibruno, buddy, I don't know which I like best, the Cavanagh or the tie! Man, I love that tie!...oh, and the hat too! ;)

On this sunny afternoon from Central Ohio I'm wearing two of my most recent OR conversions for comparison...the first pic is my OR / Wanderer, creased with a c-crown and 4 1/2 inches tall at the pinch with a 2 7/8 wide brim...the second pic is my other OR conversion with a Center Dent which is 4 1/4 inches tall at the pinch, (although it's 4 1/2 inches tall at the highest point of the crown) with a 2 5/8 wide brim...I'm wanting to see if I can tell much of a noticeable difference between the two crown heights...my one hat being 4 1/4 at the pinch, but 4 1/2 at the highest point of the crown, would the height be considered a 4 1/4 or a 4 1/2?...(reason I'm asking, I'm getting ready to attempt another conversion)...

OR / Wanderer conversion...4 1/2 inches tall at the pinch with a 2 7/8 brim

OR with Center Dent...4 1/4 at the pinch, but 4 1/2 at the highest point of the crown, with a 2 5/8 brim width

OK. I looked closer and the colors ARE different, TJones, but from the angle of the photo, they look bashed the same way.

Thanks buddy, I appreciate the feed back...if you couldn't tell the difference, except for the color after a second look, then that's actually going to be helpful to me. I'm going to convert another Western with a Center Dent.
Here's the two hats side by side....much of a noticeable difference?

Terry, buddy, they look too close to really tell a difference. I would guess if you wore them on back to back days, no one would know it was a different hat. Nice work on the conversions, by the way! Which bash do you like better?

Flying visit this evening, so I shall just say fantastic hats everyone. Thanks for the comments on yesterday's COL, a slightly newer Flechet from the same seller today:
