What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Vintage Betty]

I'm going to be wearing a brand new men's Goorin to dinner that I just got last week at a thrift store - brand new with tags. Can someone please educate me as to the name of this style of hat?

Thanks,
Vintage Betty

I think it would be a trilby style.

i.e. A Trilby hat (or simply Trilby) is a soft felt men's hat with a narrow brim and a deeply indented crown.

Vintage Betty -- It is also called a "stingy brim," which refers to a fedora with a brim under 2 inches. They are really stylish right now, lots of young guys wearing them and a lot of fashionable gals.

People with slim faces, especially, look good in them.

Is it just me, or are females posting more often in this thread! Always like to know what the ladies think! Nice trend! And wearing the hats, too! Great!

Douglas, As bolthead would say, "When the music hits you..."

Dinerman, That is superfine to the max. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. I have a feeling I'm going to run out of superlatives before you run out of hats.

Technonut, I like it. I mean, I really LIKE it!

Betty, Your new old stock is exciting. How about a picture of you in it?

Remember....you asked for it

Definately not one of my more flattering photos. Here I am at dinner tonight.

Thanks for the hat indentification everyone! I am so proud of myself - I feel like I have passed a "Fedora Lounge" test because I identified this as a "modern reproduced stingy brim" when asked about this a couple nights ago.

K.D. Lightner - as you can see, I don't have a slim face, so this isn't the best hat for me...but I have fun wearing it.

deanglen - I posted twice before, but there was no response at all. :cry: An anonymous Lounger convinced me to post again.

J.T.Marcus - These are low-end repros and should not be confused with the authentic high end hats or good quality vintage hats here on the lounge. They retail for $60 or so, and I got mine for half that price in San Diego. If anyone is interested, the thrift store had a bunch of them, all new with tags. PM me and I'll look around to find the receipt with the store name on it.

Cheers everyone-

Vintage Betty

Don't feel bad! I posted a thread on the 23rd and got 0 response.[huh] :eusa_doh:

I was going to PM you some instructions on how to do that, but then I realised I couldn't cos you're too new. :eusa_doh:

Try to get yourself an account with Imageshack or Photobucket or one of these image hosting sites like that. Once you've got it, if you need a hand putting the images on there and onto here, drop me a line via the email address on my homepage (which you can find in my profile).

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the offer of assistance, you're a gentleman. Will get busy on the image hosting business soon.

Cheers
Islander

Hey Betty, The hat is sharp, great look.

Is it just me, or are females posting more often in this thread!...

Not just this thread, but this part of the site. It's definitely an improvement.

Looking forward to it.

Very cute VB! I like the angle you've chosen to wear the hat.

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Vintage Betty, Looking good! I'm glad I asked for it. By the way, just about everybody here has a few cheap contemporary hats, and just about everybody here has made a post (or started a thread) which got zero response. Glad you're here. :eusa_clap

 

[Razzman]

This is my grey Portis Sterling. As you can see it has a thin ribbon, and a wide brim. It's also has a bound brim.
