    Nope, not here. In Miami, maybe, but in a lot of inland parts of Florida there is still a lot of agriculture. Also cattle and dairy farms, as well as horse racing and show horse activities in a variety of forms. Plenty of rodeos too. I live not too far down the road from Ocala where the horse...

    You got it, man. By the way, I believe "Medalist" referred to a time when (at World's Fairs and the like) hat companies would receive medals in prestigious quality competitions, similar to certain wines and Hohner harmonicas, etc. That's why you see actual medals depicted in some old company...

    First, welcome! Second, super vintage hat pick-ups!! Third, there's no conflict at all on that Stetson. I read the seller's write-up suggesting an identity crisis on this hat - strange as that seller is usually very knowledgeable about vintage fedoras. Here's the thing: "Medalist" was a...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    ...by December 2nd!!! lol I like 'em both. I haven't bought a hat on Ebay in a while but I almost got in the fray on that black one. Glad you got it and that we didn't drive up the price on each other. Show it off here when it arrives, OK?

    H A T D O O D L E S !!!!!!!!!

    Absolutely correct, Bolt. A shame about that too as otherwise it was a nice piece of drafting and rendering. Sometimes, even when photo reference looks a certain way, an artist must have the sense to adjust it so you don't wind up with such a cockeyed Indy.

    Show us your late 50s early 60s hats

    One of m00's hats reminded me about this Mallory I have. Could be more recent but could be late '50s early '60s. It's got an overwelt. One of the few hats I actually enjoy with a feather in:

    EVERY post this page is fantastic! ----------------- Today I wore this (probably '60s or so) Mallory. I don't know why but when I'm in a mood to take myself less seriously I really like this uniquely colored, stingy brimmed, crappy little hat:

    Hey, that's nice. I'd look for a tan/greyish beige suit. Maybe something with a window pane pattern. Having the suit a lighter color than the hat would be fantastic. But I can picture an entirely brown ensemble looking good too. There don't seem to be quite as many shades of dark brown as...

    Thoughts on this jacket?

    Not loud at all - sporty. Looks like the lapels would roll nicely to just above the second button if the top one were undone. That's how I'd wear it.

    Yes - I used his auction photos as you can see. One of my earlier vintage fedora purchases and now, like you, I no longer care much for this version of the Dobbs Twenty. Too stingy and tapered.
