Unfortunately here in SE Texas it will prob be late October before I can wear it outside lol ( it 82 degrees and 100% humidity here right now.. Oh well... Im ready for fall! View attachment 612473

Pseudo-whippet Wednesday.

I have struggled to find the right bash for my King’s Umbrella custom job. I don’t think I will ever order another crown taller than 5-5/8. This 5-3/4 is wasted on me: I’ve dropped it all the way down and I like it a lot better this way.

I am Including an interior shot even though there are no markings because this is probably the most comfortable and attractive interior I own.

If Alan starts making hats again for the same price, I highly recommend it.

Looks good! I suspect you could still steam it lower and wider with a deep C or diamond bash and lose overall height if you don’t love. You just end up with more of the crown lying on your head. That’s how I generally shape my hats but I think Randall disapproves…

The hat is awesome, and truly completes that magnificent ensemble, Steve.

A full day of yard work necessitated a mid day wardrobe change as I had sweated through everything, including my usual Akubra yard hat. Looking for air flow, I went pith helmet. It did help. I don’t know how you southern gentlemen handle the heat. By most people’s reckoning it wasn’t that hot yet.

Thanks David!

The only crowns that I fold down like a c-crease or diamond bash are 2-3/8 brims or less. It’s not that I don’t like those creases, it’s just that eventually I want to put it back to center crease and then I’ve got to deal with the crease ghosts/shadows. A diamond bash leaves dimples which can be hard to get rid of, so I just leave them at a center crease as much as possible.

But I agree, the c-crease/teardrop is cool and it looks good on your hats!

Thank you Voo!

Yes, it might be too sophisticated for this old trucker - I don’t have anywhere to wear it. I took it to the movie matinee today!

I gotta echo the other comments - that hat with that suit on you are showstoppers, Steve. And the pin is great too - does it have a significance?

Two amazing hats in one delivery! Christmas!

Congrats especially on your first vintage, a Mallory XV is certainly a great start, Skipper!

My friend, the ONLY reason you need, to wear any hat, anywhere, is that you have a head!

You are a VERY wise man, my friend!
