    tonyb.....hatter and a gentleman

    New Tonyb Classic Howdy All, I've had this hat for a while now, but have been too busy to post a picture of it here. Now that I've got a moment, here is my latest from Tony: a bold black beauty! As seen against the brick of our new digs, here in the sunny suburbs of Philly. Check out...

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    I was out with my wife at Victory, a local brew pub. It is a very 'hip' and casual place, so I kept my hat, a grey Optimo porkpie, on my head as my wife and I chatted and sipped an ale. One of the musicians playing there (it was some kind of open mike night then) stopped at our table on his...

    Thanks for the kind words Mr. E. And that Francato Cappello is looking very fine as well.

    Show off your Porkpies

    I posted some pics of this new-to-me porkpie in another thread, but I just couldn't resist putting some up here as well. The porkpie may be an under-rated lid, but wearing this one has me smiling all day long. Its an awesome Optimo porkpie, in what he calls 'granite grey.' It has a wider brim...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    A goodfella at last At long last, I have some pics to post! Here is a lid some of you may recognize, having migrated from Bruce Wayne's stable to mine. I am pleased to report it is a great hat, and I can now understand why everyone is so excited about getting an Optimo. Here are some pics:

    To Feather or Not to Feather?

    The right feather on the right hat is an awesome combo that I really like. The right feather can really make a hat special. I prefer a feather that is not obviously a dye job, but to each his own. I have a friend who wears a Tyrolean where ever he goes, and that has a nice feather. The...

    Baseball Caps (in moderation)?

    I wear the ball cap emblazoned with my employer's logo everyday to work. It offers valuable protection for my noggin. I work as a structural repair technician on large aircraft and my caps are now decorated with sealant, primer, grease, and other such crap. I wouldn't want that stuff on my...

    The Hat Confessional Thread

    This isn't really a confession about hats, but a confession of a misconception about hats. When I was a boy learning about early American history, of course we learned about the French fur traders trapping beaver for the European hat trade. Well, I had no idea what that meant, and the only...

    tonyb.....hatter and a gentleman

    Thanks for all the kind words, gents. I really enjoy wearing this hat. I took the kids to the park last week while wearing the new lid. It was a fairly blustery day here. My oldest boy looked over at me and said I was going to lose my hat in all the wind. Well, I just cinched it down a...

    tonyb.....hatter and a gentleman

    I have read it on this forum that one may be better served by not getting a custom made fedora until one has worn hats for some time, and so better know what looks good on you, and what your tastes are in hats. And while this sentiment may hold true in general, when the opportunity to have one...
