There is yellow in it, but to my eye it's mostly an creamy off whiteSCN3172
I don't know, I just can't tell anymore. Ha ha. The shirt is a Tori Richard cotton lawn model and although they have been making menswear since the 70s I don't think this one is vintage. Fantastic fly weight shirts. As a side note, I think they were the company that lobbied to get Aloha Friday made official in Hawaii.Michael

Michael, I appreciate you posts of late. You keep the sartorial Fedora Forum alive with your style.

We made it back home this afternoon. Took our time, stopped at a few outlet stores... but only bought new socks.

I had my NW Hats Silverbelly with the Old Copper ribbon today, and MrsFed wore the Cuenca straw again. Nice, warm weather the last couple days.

Sir, you have accumulated a grand hat selection to have at the ready on your hat rack. Your shared family pics I have truly enjoyed this past month.

Gorgeous day at the Devon Horse Show. Perfect trial run for the Optimo Milan. Happy Memorial Day.
Thanks for the comments on my pics. The compliment goes back yo you. Your pics add a class to my day. I smile when I see your posts. Your recent horse showing contribution is just plain GRAND! Looks like an excellent day was enjoyed m=by many! Thanks for sharing.

After a lot of gray wet days the wife and I had been able to enjoy some sun in the newly acquired vintage Dobbs. :) View attachment 75574 View attachment 75575

Well after an unseasonable 80 degrees, normal service and its Irish summer resume, something a bit more sturdy required, a damp sterkowski rabbit:

Karl; I enjoy your pics. Both for the styl'n hats presented, but for the glimpse into your neighborhood that is different from my neighborhood. Best to you and family, Eric -

Northwest Hats in whiskey today.
Darn sir if you are not one of the most polite on the forum. Inevitably you drop a positive comment on nearly every post. I admire your integrity and efforts. Fine hats of late. Your VS acquisition looks mighty grand. Best, Eric -

If you do any reflecting back on this Memorial Day keep a thought & prayer for all the Gold Star mothers & grandmothers, for what they lost & never recovered from.

Thank you Eric. I enjoy seeing yours as well. It's always a pleasure.
Ps. A simple "Like" will always suffice. :)

Thank you. Got mine from the Hatco Outlet for a mere $90.
Ps. They are no longer in production so If you can find one grab it.
Wow, that is a fantastic price! I was finding them for about $200-$225 and having a hard time justifying the purchase. Was yours open crown and you blocked it yourself or did the Outlet already have it shaped? Sorry for the 20 questions but I may just call the outlet and see if they have any more and have it shipped.

Wearing my latest conversion this nice afternoon. Bradford Westerner 7X Quality, '50s era. If you can't afford to buy a vintage Stratoliner, convert a hat and make a clone! The felt on this hat is phenomenal. I used a different block on this one to get closer to a Strat open crown shape. It's the same block I used on the black Resistol. I scavenged the 3/8 thin ribbon and bow off of another Bradford. The other Bradford also had a windcord I wanted to use but because I sized up the hat it was too small. I was also going to try and scavange the brim binding from the other Bradford but it was for a 2 5/8 and the brim width on this conversion is 2 3/4. Had to go with a raw edge brim. I'll post more pictures later in the Conversion Corral...also wearing some new prescription sunglasses by Oakley.

They come open crown so I creased it myself. Mine was from the Texas outlet. They also have another outlet in an other state somewhere. They can give you the number.

Thank you for the tip I will call the Texas store tomorrow. I truly appreciate it. Great job on the crease it looks great. I have never fully shaped a hat from start to finish and at $90 I think I would be willing to give it a shot instead of $225.
