Post New Hats Here!

[Shangas]

Thanks for the feedback on the hat, folks. I'm very glad to have it. I tried to read what the model was, but as a couple of you noticed, the sweat-band inside is rather...um...battered. It's not uncomfortable so that doesn't bother me.

This is now my second Christy's. I have another one (a flat cap) which I bought at the same shop for $7.

Charlie, that is a sweet Mallory. Looks unworn to me!
Bro Cav, I like the severe rake on the brim. It looks great on you!

so a bend on the front brim is called a rake

Shangas,you need to visit that shop often!

 

[Chepstow]

Shangas - great find! I've been thinking of a kind of beater fedora, comfortably worn so I wouldn't have to baby it - and even though yours is a Christy's of London, it looks good for that for that! But it could dress up too!

BroCave - that curl looks rakish on you, sir! Thanks for the pictures!

HatsRme - I'm envious! Look forward to a picture of you wearing it!

Wow hatsRME, I ran into that same hat just the other day here in the northwest, Identical in every way. Where did you come across yours?

No. "Rake" refers to the slope of the crown from front to back (or back to front on a reverse rake).

Hope it's not too late for the little guy. :biggrin3:

This hat is an offer from a lounger, it's almost a late birthday gift.

Heavens! That is BEAUTIFUL!
I am jealous (in a good way)!

That looks great Joao.

My new Cavanagh

The ebay seller say "1940's" and for myself I don't know. It seems to have the Cavanagh edge, and the felt is dense but velvety too. Here are some pictures:

1960s to 1972 actually, but it's interesting there are two printed different labels along with a third hand-printed one. Nice find.

Thanks! How does one date it by decade like that? Know a lot of hats, no doubt!!!

Biltmore President

Not vintage, but I couldn't resist a look so formal and stingy at the same time!

Great Biltmore Greg! You rock the stingy brims!

 

[GregNYC]

DH, thanks so much! I'm still building my confidence, style and taste.

Greg, Brad has posted this information on the lounge, but here is some good reading from his website.
