    My favorite actor in one of his best films. Jack Nicholson in "Chinatown" I also included an image of John Huston. I love both of the hats.

    Movie hats

    How about this hat on Adolphe Menjou. His politics were not to my liking but the man knew how to dress. I like the shark gill ribbon. The image may have come from his role as Walter Burns in the original "Front Page".

    Italian Cut Suits on Larger Men

    I am a larger sized person and have worn Italian suits, sport coats and slacks for many years. However, I am able to afford clothing at the higher end of the price range (Brioni and Kiton) and thus have not had a problem purchasing stylish clothing. You need to look at the quality of the...

    Newt at the Royal

    I was in Honolulu recently and I can report that Newt at the Royal is still in business as a brick and mortar store. The proprietor is Jim Tomasi as shown in the photo. He confirmed that his Montecristi Panama hats are blocked by Optimo. I bought 3 shirts but no hats as I have 3 Panamas.

    I agree with the sentiment on the 2018 colors. Below is a contribution to this thread that was posted in mid August on the "What Hat Are You Wearing Today" thread. This is an Optimo in British Tan with a diamond crease that I got five or six years ago. I just received it back from Optimo as...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I was given a couple of horsehair brushes from Carolyn Busch of Fino Fino in Menlo Park CA a few years ago (now closed). One of the brushes is labeled M & F Western Products. I went to the M & F web site and they are a distributor of western products including hats. They have a feature for a...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    The weather is very fine in the Bay Area today. The high clouds are burning off and it promises to be a sunny afternoon with temperatures in the 70s. Here is my Optimo fedora in Mink. I like the ribbon because it is neither too wide or too thin.

    On my way this afternoon to do something I have been putting off for years. Purchasing a new computer and ggoing from Windows XP to Windows 10. I am not a tech person so this change is difficult. It was not a fun experience getting some software preloaded on the new machine...
