Thanks David. Like I posted before, if I were to have only 1 CD this would be it!

Took my new Buckaroo Hatters hat out for the full wearing, not the test drive I did after I got it yesterday:
I sent that pic to my wife. She said too tall. Heck, it is only a 1/2 inch taller than the Stetson but I guess it just seems taller. Well, I like it. Rocky and Mike would have told me if it was a wrong fit for me, I grew to trust them. Mike has his own preferences, but he won't sell you, he will just answer questions and I liked that.
Anyway, what I have on is the reason I picked the silverbelly. I dont wear coats much in winter because I hate trying to keep up with them. And if you go from car to mall, I wanna ditch the coat. Would rather layer with a sweater. I could have gotten the steel color, and maybe dove or silvermist, but I think this will be so versatile. Looked pretty good with the grey striped suit I wore to Mike's yesterday. I was telling Rusty that I had thought about a ribbon edge and the ribbon being more to the grey side and almost matching the color of the hat, but the more I think about it, it would not have been much contrast and well, khaki works with everything I figure. I wear khakis a lot and every shirt seems to go with it, so why not have a khaki ribbon. Anyway, I am pumped and proud to post this first what-hat-are-you wearing photo. I love Eric's, Alan's, J Lee's, hatophiles, Bowlerman's, David's Deputy Swoops and the other pics.

Not to be disagreeable with anybody's wife.....your hat is not too tall based on the photo & your facial shape. There is symmetry between the crown above the brim line & your jaw line below. Any shorter crowned hat would be off balance. The pinch works with your nose & chin as well.Mike & Rocky know their business...

I think I know what it may be, the ribbon being smaller, makes the proportions seem off to her?

A smaller ribbon will make a crown appear taller. Give it time and she'll probably get used to seeing you wear a hat of those proportions.

This pic might appear too large on my first try. Anyway, I spiffed up a tad today and chose my only true dress fedora as of yet, the Buckaroo Hatters Moorelite in Silverbelly.
*Edit*: Yeah, I can't seem to get the photos to shrink. Photobucket's been getting on my last nerve. Nothing has been working right since their latest update.

It's special, for sure. Incredibly soft and light, you barely notice it's there. Which, I discovered, is not good on a windy day lol. I may have to send it off for a cleaning soon.

Manfred, Tom, Dave and Memphis Lawyer, all great hats!
ML, that is a great proportion on you, I agree with Tom on that.

I am wearing my 30's/40's Campbell Homburg. I don't have a camera right now, but maybe can post a photo a bit later, when my girlfriend comes over with her fancy phone.
