wearing my brown Fed IV today

I love the FedIV, you both wear them well.

1940s Stetson Royal DeLuxe OR
Superb, I've got to get a light coloured hat:cool:
Fab looking hat.

Great variety today, gents! My wife needed to return some things she bought last week, so we went shopping again back to the same mall...

Today with the Cavanagh "Kennedy" -- in spite of all the artificial lighting in that first photo, it does capture the subtle dark clay-brown shade of the Cavanagh. Silky hand, light weight, and keeps its shape. It's my favorite felt.
A superb hat and I really like the jacket/tie combo too.
I re-shaped my misfit Royal (not) 'Deluxe' Stratoliner and gave it a cattleman's crease (for now). I tried to give it a Rooster Cogburn crease, but there's not enough crown [huh]
The crease looks good to me.
Today a 3 hat day!!
Another three hat day! :eusa_clap Great choices.

Perry, g.durand, alan, Lt.hats, hatguy, Greg, jlee, Lefty, Joao, Very nice variety of lids, guys. Very well done....

I changed out the Campaign style bow on my Indyesque Stagecoach for one that's basic and simple. Sometimes simple is better and the 8 ply mid-ribbon was just too much for a campaign style bow. The 8 ply ribbon of itself is enough, I think...

Before:

Thin ribbons make for much better Campaign style bows...

Yesterday, I wore my Chestnut Stagecoach for this crappy cold Ohio Winter...I hate Winter, but I like my Stagecoach Westerns!

This morning, it's another Stagecoach...

TJones the new bow looks great, really sleek. I like the width of that 8 ply ribbon a lot. It looks good on the western, and it would look good on a fedora too.
Cool lumberjack shirt, too, a real classic style.

RJR, Dale, thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.

I actually have that same ribbon on a fedora and it matches up very well with one...

Unfortunately, that shirt's going back to the store. I really liked it too. After I washed it, per the instructions, it still shrunk up to my belt and the sleeves shrunk up my forearms past my wrists! No more China made junk for me :mad:

Super Sunday wishes to everybody!

Looks like the wide brims have us covered today, men. Good morning to those terrific ribbons Terry. You never fail to improve, or just add great variety, sir!
And Joao, JOAO, JOAO... A Three-fer day, brimming with broadness!

And another call out to you, NewJack, for raising the bar around here, sir. Uber-sweet Hommy, and style!

Another mildly frosty morning in Massachusetts, waiting for a touch of snow wearing a Royal Stetson VitaFelt.

Busy day for me here, guys. All looking good but especially wanted to say TJones, great impact result from the ribbon change. That light fedora with the black band is a very nice look!

I like the Homburg look you give it, NewJack. A good ensemble.

Worn with distinction, DH.

Love the old Vita Charlie... a tremendous find in your size.

John, always a kick to see you and your son enjoying some time together.

Dale, I like the jacket!

Charlie, I must say, that's one of the best pics I've seen that combine a traditional hat with a modern winter snorkel jacket. They are almost different genres, but you bring them together with class!

Job, you guys look very cool!

Terry, your ribbon work is really good! I like the up-curled brim too!

dh66 - I can't say that green hats usually grab me, but that looks great and I really like the colour and texture combos of your shirts and jacket too.

Terry--looking good in the Stagecoach.
Charlie--you're the picture of casual comfort with that nicely cocked VF as the crowning touch.
John--a couple of stylin' dudes, I'll bet the two of you raise the sartorial standard wherever you go.
Dale--looking sharp in the Dobbs and jacket.

Out and about this morning in a Stratoliner.
