Beautiful heather felt tops an overall sharp outfit. Way to rack 'em Perry. :eusa_clap

I like that heather Stetson a lot Perry.

Like I said before. I've got to find one of those Akubra Sombreros. It's a great look Charlie.

For today: Akubra Campdraft

Thanks guys. I like your outfit with the CD Sam. I call it "casual rugged".

 

[Chepstow]

Sam, TJ, Alan, Andy, Jeff, David, Charlie and Perry, truly a parade of greatest and finest hats today!
I tip my hat for all of you!

The Imperial Stetson 3X Beaver

Seldom seen liner from the late 1930s-1940.

Another stunner from your collection Alan!

ok gents a little of a conundrum. how important is the dimensional brim? it fits well and is in really good shape for a heritage grade fed III, but because I'm looking for the "indy" hat, I wonder if it will always bother me everytime I put it on, or if it's something I'll learn to love? what would you do in this situation?

It's a conundrum only you can answer. My thoughts? If the hat looks good on you (and it does) then what difference would a 1/4 inch or so more front and back make? But only you know whether it bothers you when you put it on. If it was me, I'd just enjoy it for what it is. And if you are looking for "the" Indy hat you probably won't be satisfied until you go through several different makers and custom hats for "the one." And by the way, I have both a Fed III and a Fed IV and love them both!

Fantastic hat Alan. Showoff!

 

[Orangegrad]

That's one impressive fedora, Alan.

 

[Johnny J]

Yes, great hat Alan! Very clean condition too!

 

[alanfgag]

Thank you. I remember being very excited when it arrived. It was sold by the family of the original purchaser who passed away in 1943. Something about the hat and the brilliant color seems very Los Angeles to me.

I believe there is one other hat posted to the lounge (a homburg, if I remember correctly) which shows this liner.

One of my favorites of yours, Alan!

Lots of light in my customer's lobby today. And I was a happy customer in my blue Champ De Luxe...

 

[Stuffsmith]

Alan, a jaw-dropping hat. Sheesh.

Alive, super-sharp Champ!

Thank you again for the great comments, gents! Hopefully once the weather gets a bit cooler and less sunny I'll start wearing my stingy brims... Great hats as usual, and a special shoutout to HatsRMe I really like the sombrero!!


Today my Stetson Sportlite

 

[DJH]

Thanks for the comments on yesterday's Tumwater, guys. The Silverbelly is one of my absolute favorites. Actually yesterday was just a great hat day for everyone by the look of things.

Change of pace for me today with a Cordova cap.

 

[Orangegrad]

Barca3 - very sweet Stetson. I haven't seen anything quite like this one before. Any idea when it was manufactured?
David - doesn't matter if it's a fedora or a cap - you always look quite dapper. Interesting styling on the cap - nice variation from the typical 8 panel.


Wearing my VS Anasazi today, along with a turquoise Bolo by Navajo artisan Leroy Begay.

Breakfast today was one of the best I've had in ages. The cheese is Humboldt Fog - a California award winning blue that really is nothing like the European blues. Much milder, with an ending of salty goodness. Goat milk, but not overpowering. The kalamata olives are available at my local food stores. And both drizzled with olive oil. The briny taste of the olives, goat milk cheese and olive oil go sublimely with the sweet grapes. And of course, some green tea from Harney and Sons.
