Good luck with the show... and thanks for giving us a members preview.

Looking good so far,
Manfred, Dave and Mike.

Royal Stetson, a recent Ebay find. Light heathered gray with a medium sized fabric dark gray band. A very different hat.

Today, I'm wearing my Resistol Wide Country. I'll be honest...I bought this hat several years ago and today is the first time I've had the courage to wear it. It is a nice hat...and it fits very well...but it just seems small…and my head is definitely big. I'm trying to think of it as a stingy brim San Antonio, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to rock this hat. Adding to my distress, my pretty, young paralegal, who snapped this second photo, just walked out of my office snickering. In law enforcement, we call that sort of thing a clue.

David, not sure what color has Mr.Main Street, but looks good.

Mike and Ale, both Knox Twenty, looks really good.

Perry, sometimes is the difference what make it different. Was that right? (heavier sentence for me)

gtdean, very nice, two great Hats.

atticus, fine looking Resistol, fits you perfect.

 

[Aureliano]

Nice. I like the edge.

Knox's Custom edge, baby! (Using George Costanza's Babies, here lol)

Hi, I'm new here, but am a clothes horse from wayyyy-back and have noticed your handsome avatar outfit. Now, I'm seeing the real deal and wanted to ask a sincere question: Your handsome, but very pale hat (bone?) seems incongruous to my old-fashioned northeast nature, considering your herringbon suit, Fairisle sweater and heavy overcoat. Is it "winter white" or are you wearing "outside the box?" Enquiring minds need to know! Thx.

Good. I certainly prefer the Costanza Baby to the Austin Powers version.

Atticus,

I have had a couple of those shorter-brim OR's through the years. I think the cattleman's crease just doesn't fit as well with a brim less that about 2 1/2. Therefore, I recreased the hat to a center dent or C-crown and it looked better.

Having said that, I don't think that one looks that bad on you, but may look better with the brim down a little more.

AF, I really like the Wide Country, but "smaller" brims often tend to look bigger on me anyway. I like my brim snapped down, and the pinch being a little closer in the front. It's a really beautiful hat. Wear it with pride! In the photo below, the one on the left (obviously).

The original cattleman, pic taken when I first got the hat, still with brim down.

That's really beautiful. Warmer tones than usual?

This one is an ash-y shadow of gray. The heaviest felt that I own and the only suede finish I have.

I thought that you had an Optimo (or two) with a suede finish.
