What hat are you waiting for today?

[Rick Blaine]

BLACK SMITHBILT OR CLONE


This may be one of only a few black hats that WILL NOT make me look like a Rabbi!

I like black in a western hat.

My first hat was (and is) black, the second hat was black...

My first hat was black, too, but I just have one...

 

[Redfokker]

Two black Homburgs, one black stingy Dobbs fedora (higher crown), and a couple of black Derbys. Oh, and a stingy black Adam that is kind of out of the rotation right now.

Oops, forgot about the sweet black Cavanagh Homburg NewJack sent me. It's a beaut!

Oops, looks like I posted pics of 2 different hats above. The 2nd pic is wrong. I think mine is the one with the raw brim (no over-welt).
