A Hat for my Dad

[indycop]

Okay, so here's the hat for my Dad. My mom and I went to Hatco and picked this up. It's a Stetson Sovereign and it also said Chatham- I think that's the Style? It's actually more of a greenish brown, loden color. I think it will be a great starter hat, and if he like wearing a hat, I figured we could take him to Peter's Bros in March for his birthday and get something a little more expensive. So how did we do? Oh, and it was $48.

I wouldn't call it a starter hat! looks good to me!!:eusa_clap Peters Bros. is great! I have a custom made hat from them that I ordered over the phone and the fit and quality is perfect.

Very Nice

That's a very nice hat, I'm sure he'll love it. I hope my daughter get's me a modest 100X beaver cattleman with a rancher brim! .. I bet your dad would like one too Merry Christmas.. Ron

texasgirl, That Stetson Soverign Chatham will be a very nice hat for your Dad. It's nice that you and your Mom went shopping together for his hat. I love the warmth of families who actually get together and shop for one another.

Oh, we had fun! Trying on all the hats and stuff. They have sooo many! And some are not in the best of shape, so you have to really hunt around. But I think we did good. I know it was suggested to actually take my Dad shopping for the hat, but he sells cars and works everyday except Sundays, and that is his day with my mom for them to spend together. So this worked out for us. Thanks everyone, I'll post a picture of him with the hat on after Christmas!

Nice hat, and brown is a great color for a first "real" hat. It goes with pretty much everything!

Great choice! Earthtones, to me at least, seem a little more versatile than the grays, blues & black. Looks like a great starter hat, as you mention, and something your dad would be proud to wear.

The Chatham is a quality fur felt hat. Many consider it to have "just right" proportions. It is a long running model, which will never go out of style. I think your father is going to like it. (And you got it for about 1/3 of the average internet price. But don't tell your daddy that!) :eusa_clap

Thanks Everyone!!!

I just wanted to let ya'll know my dad LOVED his hat! My mom told me today that he has been wearing it to work everyday! Thank you so much for the input and advice, I really appreciated it!

Way to go Texasgirl, now the world has another fedora wearer. Give yourself a gold star by your name. BTW how come you didn't get yourself a hat while you were there. In case you haven't noticed, around here we like women in fedoras. They go together very well. Happy new year.

Great hat!
great photo!
Your dad looks like he is a natural fedora wearer!
Thanks for sharing with us!

I did actually buy 2 hats that day, one for my husband. It's a Dobbs Burton in a dark brown almost black color. But I can't find any reference to that style? But anyway, his fit perfect too! I was so relieved since they are final sale. But I did get a new hat for Christmas too! My husband got me this fantastic straw cloche hat. I'll post a picture when I get a chance. But I don't have any fedoras, lots of other hats though. I did try on a Borsalino at Miller Hats a few months ago that was heaven it was so soft, and it fit perfect, but was something like $270. But yeah, I may take him to Peters Bros, I think he'd enjoy that and throw in a trip to the Amon Carter always makes a fun day in Ft Worth!

I have to agree with Indycop, a trio photo would be excellent.

Your dad looks great in his Stetson!

Looks great and I'm glad he's got a hat he can wear and enjoy for a long time to come.
