Just fab. I don't remember seeing a gray hat look that good. Great portrait too, Jimmy.

Dobbs 100...

Well we can close this thread now....because it doesn't get much more perfect than that!! Just awesome, Jimmy!!! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Agree. Amazing Dobbs, Jimmy!

Sometimes horizontally striped ribbons will make our heads look fat, but not in Perry's case.

Great looking as always.

I have been accused of being a "fat head" on occasion. Thanks all you gents for all the nice comments.

You are looking very dapper, Jimmy!

JTL, Just as everyone else has said, that is one fine hat.

Gentlemen -- Thanks so much for the very nice comments. I have to say, I consider myself incredibly lucky to have come across this Dobbs. I bought it on the 'bay a couple of years back, and its "100" status was buried somewhere in the auction text. Fortunately, I'm a thorough reader...

Alan -- the color of this hat is actually a beautiful, rich taupe. You can get a better sense of the color from the photos in this thread: Dobbs 100

Cheers,
JtL

Next time for sure.

Hatophobia isn't pretty, but it can make for good prices on some great lids.

Very well said! I gotta say -- the color and crease on this one makes it one of the nicest examples of this lid that I have ever seen. Great lid, Alan.

Hello, people of this fine forum.

I find it preferable to post my first contribution to this forum in this very thread.
Over here in Europe, we are wearing these high quality fedora straw hats, directly imported from a family business in Cuenca, Ecuador.
We have these straw hats hand made in very limited editions where every hat has its own unique color palette and pattern.

I'd like to say thank you for all the inspiration you at this forum provide. Seeing all these passionate hat wearers makes me smile.

Welcome, Niclas. :yo:

Stylish straws, for sure.

Well, hello to you! It is nice to see you also have been "bitten" by the hat bug!

Servicing three hats to make them ready for the cold weather.
VS Silverbelly which I finally found a perfect silver/gray ribbon for (Will post comparison shots soon for your opinion) On top of it, my awesome Optimo Velour which I re-flanged to reduce the swoop of the brim. Sitting on the flange my Disney Silverbelly after similar flange treatment. Now I have to choose which one to wear today!

 

[alanfgag]

A tune-up and ribbon change... nice! Fall is in the air this morning.

Hello and welcome to you, whooophats, from another part of Europe! If you are into hats, the Lounge is the place to go to. You'll see: the people around here will become, sooner or later, somewhat like a virtual family to you; well at least they became to me... Prepare to spend a lot time in front of the computer!
