    What to wear with a fedora....

    First off, nice gray suit. They were/are popular because they really go with anything. Sometimes I wear a white shirt, dark tie, and fedora if i want to look dressed up. If I want to go with a more casual look, I might where a checked shirt or a little layer between my shirt and jacket with a...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Nice purple and gray Monk, classic complimenting colors. My Stetson 7XCB today with plaid western w/snaps. Gotta wear these flannels a bit more before spring really hits.

    Post New Hats Here!

    The other day, while wearing my Stetson 7XCB, I ran inside an antique shop. The lady working there started talking about the (tiny sized) hats that she collects. I then showed before and after pics of my hat. She said that she was getting a large number of hats in which were mostly westerns but...

    Splintercellsz, Cool story on a truly old hat. Looking forward to how your hat will look if you decide to restore it. Good luck with finding pics on the owner.

    Quick suit and hat question

    Navy goes w/anything and so does a black and white hat IMHO. I just did a google search and read Deckard's Guide:Fedora hat basics... Yes...White hat with black ribbon goes with nearly everything.

    My Three Hats - Your Input Please

    Those look fine. Your collection is very nice for 3 months in. I'm 30 years in and don't have hats that nice!

    THE MALLORY MILE

    HatsRme, thanx. Casual it is. I just haven't had any straws with a three inch ribbon before.haha I see you have a formidable collection of lids by looking at your recent pic taken in you hat room, I presume. I've seen an old Penny's Marathon straw sitting around that looked just like mine but...

    THE MALLORY MILE

    Ok, Hats'Rme. I'll leave it classic, despite the screams... I'm just not used to flashy hats like this Mallory. Speaking of that... Calling all Mallory experts. I'm assuming this hat is all original--so just by dimensions in my last post, shape, bound edge, and cummerbund-like ribbon. Any...

    Gotta stop buying jackets....

    I can relate being from a similar parallel...I gotta have my jackets, sport coats, peacoats, overcoats, felt hats, etc. It's just harder to fit in to the small town crowd around here, though. I usually try to trade up and get rid of old leather jackets that I know I won't wear anymore.

    Great hats all, the Knox is a knockout. Found this Mallory straw in a high end thrift store. Stingy brimmed as they get and snapped down will fit my mood today. I also found a jacket that is kind of like a Palm Beach style in my opinion. The sleeves are actually long enough, too!

    THE MALLORY MILE

    Found this in a local, high end pre-owned store. Love that a straw can be snapped. I never really though it was possible. I'm happy...might give it a slight pinch, though.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    No spring yet. My old restored/trimmed western. I should've left the brim original but what can ya do? It was a big ol' sod-buster! Now it's a little Dr. Jones meets Crocodile Dundee.

    Thank you, sir. Decided on "The Jacksonian" by Stratton. I forgot I owned a hat that has green on it... St. Patrick would be pleased!

    Nice pics lately. Alan, Awesome Stetson. Al, stunning pics as usual. Bowler, awesome condition for your namesake. Liner is wicked cool. Eric, enjoyed the candids the other day. HatsRme, nice light sage w/brown. Good combo. I must say we could take lessons on how to put patters together from you...

    Thanks AnA and Manfred. Fed the cattle again...cap with hood up. Also had to get the frozen waterer going again. Had to try on my dad's orange '50s Panhandle Slim suit I saw yesterday in the living room closet. Fits ok. My arms are extra long so nothing fits anyway.

    The Thread to Display 1950s Suits

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Nice hats, all. Thanks for the compliments and educational comments as well. Manfred, thanks for the earlier comments on my Stetson 7X. It's not a labeled Open Road and I'm not sure if it's Clear Beaver after all the reading I've done, but I really love it anyway. Gotta say, that is one cool...

    Your First Fedora

    My sister and I bought an Indiana Jones hat at a local western shop... I quickly took full advantage of our agreement to "share" the hat. I had a custom made but didn't like the crazy-stiff felt. I finally found a vintage Stetson Deluxe and then, while bragging about the find the next day, my...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Stetson put out lots of hats that are of the Open Road style but don't have markings as such. My 7X CB is not marked so I refer to it as a 7X CB Open Road style... Thanx...7X CB Open Road style....(for Clear Beaver-cool) It has been nice to get more 411 on my new hat. I sometimes forget how...
